A sound installation wherein modulated white noise seems to rotate around a central observer within a circular array of ceiling-mounted speakers. The movement alternatively speeds up, slows down, and reverses, while an audio filter correspondingly shifts the timbre of the noise. The impetus for Norman building the piece was a budding interest in the simulation of motion using regularly-spaced, static sources. In this case, his interest spilled over from light into sound.
