PRECUNEUS; Sonic Space No. 8 - Iteration No. 4 (2016) is a concert version derivative from the larger work One Deliberate Day - Sonic Space No. 8. The original Sonic Space No. 8 is comprised of two sonic ecosystems, a traditional central-computer interactive music system and a single-board computer based system made of 4 physically distinct agents. The former is the basis for this piece. The latter of these resulted in the installation composition, Four Deliberate Agents; Sonic Space No. 8 - Iteration No. 3.

For One Deliberate Day, the composed sonic ecosystem, Sonic Space No. 8, progresses through the course of a one day in a single hour. The agents composed for this sonic ecosystem are active at certain times of the day (ie. late afternoon or dawn), and exhibit varying behavior based on the current time. For PRECUNEUS the length of the day is shortened to 12 minutes in order to facilitate presentation as a concert work. The work is composed for a 6-8 channel speaker array that encircles an audience and requires 4-8 microphones, depending on the size of the room. Performers are encouraged to move around the space in order to engage different digital agents and connect with the audience. A performance of this iteration involves exploration by one or more human performers within the system, playing with, pushing, and reacting to the digital agents as they inhabit portions of this day. During this guided exploration, performers should connect their thoughts with that of "a day", the energy that allows for the progression of time, and the emergent sonic ecosystem they have joined.

The premiere of this piece, and subsequent recording took place on January 21st, 2016 at the Fridman Gallery in NYC as part of the CT-CT-SWaM:: spatial sound :: spatial sound concert during the New Ear Festival.
