Voronoi

Voronoi is the ambient electronic project of the itinerant artist, writer, and electronic musician Richard B. Keys (originally from Aotearoa New Zealand).

Voronoi synthesizes a range of influences spanning ambient music, noise, electro-acoustic, neo-classical, film music and high definition sound design. Drawing inspiration from the Voronoi tessellation — an equation that is used to both model actual landscapes and at the same time to construct virtual ones — his productions employ hybrid sampling and synthesis techniques to weave irreal ambient soundscapes. His tense and beguiling pieces functioning through playing of and with the genre conventions of ambient music, employing dissonance and rupture as a means to undermine moments of calming affect.
