Quarks Swim Free is E#'s latest algorithmic piece for Orchestra Carbon. For 11 musicians and based on prime numbers, Quarks Swim Free creates a dense primordial soup filled with high-energy collisions, gnashing grooves, and warped melodies. Quarks Swim Free premiered at the Venice Biennale in 2003.
