Inspired by the concept of entropy, this work for amplified harpsi- chord and multichannel electronics explores a state of disorder, randomness, and uncertainty through the multiplication of the harpsichord sound. My composition assembles a number of pos- sible microscopic structures of the harpsichord(s) in a multi- layered acoustic space. As a simulation it represents the transfor- mation of time at an accelerating tempo. The growing entropy of connections deepens the disorder of sounds, resulting in a slow agony of motion — the suffering of all things. The harpsichord sound becomes the sound of the universe dying.
