WERKSHOW: 25 Years of the Nexialist Organization – A Monumental Archive Release Spanning Universes! Architecture as text, text as sound, sound as architecture: This guiding principle has defined the Nexialist Organization since its inception in the year 2000. To mark our 25th anniversary, I am looking back at decades of transdisciplinary inquiry and sonic constructivism. With WERKSHOW, I am releasing a comprehensive archive that goes far beyond a best-of compilation—it is a sonic DNA analysis of more than a quarter-century of work. Inside the Vault (100 Tracks & 10 Films): This release bundles milestones that document the evolution from human-machine synthesis to spatial analysis: Full albums, including Angel Position: The "opus magnum" recorded under the Fragment King alias as a synthesis of lyrical defiance and conceptual critique; Generating Space: An experimental study in sonic architecture under the alias Torso, where digitally processed sound explores imaginary spat...

While it predates the founding of the Nexialist Organization, the Xenakis Emulator encapsulates its core intention as a transdisciplinary platform connecting architecture, music, and visual design through shared creative methods and theoretical inquiry.  An audiovisual homage to architect–composer Iannis Xenakis, the Xenakis Emulator recreated the structural logic of his composition Metastaseis and Le Corbusier’s monastery facade La Tourette through synchronized digital sound and animation. The Xenakis Emulator is a digital reinterpretation of these two key works. The project transformed the mathematical and musical relationships underlying both works into a synchronized audiovisual experience. In the 1950s, Xenakis collaborated with Le Corbusier on La Tourette, developing the rhythmic spacing of the vertical facade elements. These intervals mirrored the glissandi patterns of Metastaseis, composed at the same time. The Nexialist project translated this relationsh...
