At the heart of hypercycle theory on primordial Earth lies the concept of self-sustaining cycles of interconnected processes, each one catalyzing the next. The work draws a parallel from this to the nature of jazz, where each musician’s input enriches the collective soundscape, creating a perpetual loop of innovation and expression. Jazz, much like a hypercycle, is an ecosystem of interaction, feedback, and continuous evolution.
"HypercycleJazz" documents a grieving ritual for a recently deceased ancestor as well as a contemplation on our relationality with all of the animated world.
