Presentation:

Complex Planet presents a selection of different audiovisual and

photographic sound works made by creators from all over the world
through which our different cultural identities are analyzed through a
relationship of endemic social processes and globalization. A social
study where cultural identity is seen from contemporary art.

The proposal is based on the fact that a fundamental characteristic that

enables evolution in nature is diversity, since if there is diversity, there
are possibilities of genetic exchange and mutation, therefore, adaptation
to a changing environment, this phenomenon is reflected in contexts
both biological as well as social and cultural.

Thus, diversity guarantees evolution and adaptability, hence the

importance of cultural identity and endemic aspects compared to global
ones.

When sea anemones dream 07:17

Description of the piece /

When sea anemones dream is an environmental piece dealing with marine pollution. The work
describes the perspective of sea anemones on man-made pollution - their emotions, feelings, and
reactions. The piece also explores the boundary between reality and dreams in one of the sound layers,
represented by the sounds of everyday objects and their manipulated and distorted sounds. As the
mixture of two different sound-realms creates mixed emotions, it produces an ambiguity in the listener
who wonders what reality or dream states might be for the sea anemones. If the clean water is the
reality and the polluted environment is just a nightmare for the sea anemones, or if the non-polluted
water is a dream they can no longer have in their reality. 1

Visual and sound artist, the practice of video led me to be interested in the invisible, the unsaid, the
sound, as a possibility of dialogue with the unconscious. Time, slowness, movement, myths, rituals,
dreams, elements are at the center of my approach. For several years, I have been accumulating
photographs, filmed images, sounds, which I collect from my surroundings, in my daily life, during
travels. I use them in my creations. I seek to take the intimate towards the archetype, to introduce a
playful dimension. My video and sound work have been seen and heard on hybrids festivals around the

Title / Titulo Holobionte Duración / Legth 10:00

Description of the piece /

A holobiont, from the Greek holo, "all", and bios, "life" designates at the same time, an
animal organism or plant, the host, and the microorganisms it harbors. It encompasses both the one
and the many. He is like a busy train, housing regular and occasional passengers.
I was freely inspired by this biological concept, and I imagined that this train could harbor
birds, and that each bird was itself a train. I chose to create a movement from the inside (of the body)
to the outside (the body in its environment). This movement is accompanied by a movement of
predominantly synthetic sounds towards predominantly anecdotal and instrumental sounds.

Description of the piece /

verdad efímera en el final was written in score to be recorded by 5 preprogrammed digital synthesizers,
each defined in Supercollider prior to composing the piece. The recording was realized using Abjad, a
Python API for Lilypond, to extract pitch and rhythm information from the score. Then, Python used this
information to construct a Supercollider which coupled this information using a PBind for each
synthesizer. The created files were then used to generate .wav files of each synthesizer's performance
which were mastered in Logic Pro X.

Description of the piece /

Dé-tail arises from ideas and concepts about going through a sound piece or a piece in the dark, diving
from the ears, paying attention to details. It is going on a journey, immersing yourself, letting yourself be
guided by what the soundscape/trip proposes.
It is also an invitation: train stations where you go through different landscapes and climates. You listen
to it like tunnels and the idea of going through something or being crossed by something. The piece is
built with different field records made during walks and trips on trains, stations and platforms in which I
fragment and choose from the raw material the features that have been most significant to me
according to the experience lived on each occasion.

Plegaria 08:00

Description of the piece /

Plegaria is an acousmatic piece composed in 2018 as the composer's first in-depth exploration of the
electroacoustic medium. This work presents the transition between two sound spaces that represent the
earthly and the spiritual in human life. As the title indicates, this transition occurs in the space of prayer,
understood as that action in which the person decides to look away from himself and his more corporeal,
fragile and -in a certain way- limited, to delve into what is beyond the temporal, understandable and
evident, and go towards the spiritual and eternal. This musical representation, rather than wanting to
explain or communicate what said action is about, seeks for the listener to become a sensitive and lucid
accompanist in both spaces and its transition, from the ears of the composer.

Mind Reshaping es un dron generado en VCV Rack, modificado en Ableton Live y editado en Audacity.
Se trata de una transformación constante de timbres y frecuencias, la cual sufre alteraciones

sus parámetros a través del tiempo. Es una obra parcialmente automatizada, las transformaciones
tanto del dron original como de los parámetros de los efectos posteriores están controladas a través

iteraciones de las transformaciones obtenidas.
La composición de esta obra no tuvo concepto generador previo, fue el resultado de un proceso de

Mercury Rising 7.06

Description of the piece /

Mercury Rising is about hearing the sounds of the 1960’s space race within an acousmatic context,
zooming in on the material qualities of various voices and technologies from this part of history. In
addition to the use of sourced recordings, electronic music techniques of this time period are revisited
with additional digital sampling and effects processing to consider their potential to be heard as retro-
futuristic. The use of algorithmic processes to control behaviours of synthesized sounds points to the
possibility of AI and related forms of generativity as fuelling new forms of competition and discovery.

“Aquí” se inspira en la estructura a la vez que en el valor político de la obra de Pequeño: él usa
fragmentos de la II Declaración de La Habana (1962); en “Aquí” use utilizó (a parte de algunos sonidos

que produce el instrumento, sino como presencia, como identificación…?
La ausencia de voz en primer plano, o su presencia, cercana integrando de la actividad doméstica, y
remota en los paisajes, restituye un mundo imaginario, que es el de mi memoria y el de mis sueños.
La idea de la pieza es la de confrontar dos mundos sonoros, los sonidos de tipo radiofónico (paisajes
sonoros de interiores y de exteriores) y sonidos del piano, los cuales intervienen en situación y fuera
de ella.
Si bien puede intuirse un relato subyacente, la magia del montaje abre las compuertas de la
imaginación, permitiendo una multiplicidad de lecturas posibles desde la más anecdótica a la más
abstracta.

Cubo Sobre Cubo 6.40

Description of the piece /

The mind silences infinite tissues that scramble it, thought has become a single dimension that
contains an essence that is also real and acoustic.
We are hybrid beings and this self-exploration, which is also a responsibility, has allowed us to learn to
perceive this acoustic dimension of thought, to give it order and shape, to appropriate it, to generate
new meanings linked perhaps in a quantum way in which it becomes Impossible to perceive through a
single path. The whole body hears, all the water resonates, all the tissues see, smell and vibrate.
Cube on Cube is a work that speaks of anxiety as the great disease of the postmodern and capitalist
world, a voice that is inside that shakes and gasps, seems to drill each act and each thought.

The Last Walk 4.42

Description of the piece /

“The Last Walk” was created for the need to express a controversial state of mind, fought between the
impossible quest for order and the terrible charm of chaos. An anonymous faceless, climbing the
stairs of a palace, founds himself without his knowledge inside un unknown apartment but apparently
tidy and quiet. When he looks around begins to release a quantity of irremediable chaos to whom he
cannot escape: the apartment turns upside down and outside starts raining. However the infernal
outburst seems not to cause torment in the protagonist, whom walking in the room, is faced in front of
a window and, without waiting, throws down himself, leaving the listener doubtful about his fate.

Description of the piece /

Erratum is an electroacoustic piece of music that focuses on processing instrumentation materials
such as sape and gamelan. The processing of this material is done through the recording of separate
instruments between the sape and gamelan. Then the recording is processed using a computer device.
Here I process sound material using Ableton and some additionally I use max msp to set the frequency
and tempo randomly. For processing, I also used a midi controller to adjust the thickness of the low
frequencies directly in the recording.
In this work I imagine how sound can evolve into another form and continuously gradually and slowly.

una composición que signifique más allá de un simple hecho sonoro.
La pieza es una representación sobre el contenido vacío en sí mismo, es una búsqueda circular entre
la desesperanza y la esperanza. "Dentro de la caverna, al final una pequeña luz" es una pieza que está

The work is a hommage to Xenakis, from which different textures are drown off. So the title wants to

Durations and attacks are built around Fibonacci's numbers, so that the fundamental turn off of the

Electronic sounds are developed using specific OpenMusic patches created to satisfy expressive
needs, using Casound libraries and over all Modalys OpenMusic library, and little Xenakis's electronic

It is a sort of journey of memory and of affectiveness, along past frequentations around the Xenakis's

Title / Titulo b_k_n () Duración / Legth 09:00

Description of the piece /

The piece is inspired by the sculpture "The Broken Circle” by Beverly Pepper.
b_k_n( ) intends to restore the representation of a generating force, of an explosive event that produces
the beginning of life and of the world, in a timbrical and structural dimension where the contrast between
stillness and dynamism creates a formal balance poised between possibility and impossibility . The overall
circular trend offers as many interrupted paths of ascent and descent, interprets the conflict inside the
original sculpture. The timbrical research aims to recall the materials used for sculpture (Corten steel and
concrete), with the preparation of traditional instruments as violin and an electric bass guitar, to generate
sound materials to feed many electronic synthesis processes used to build the piece. The result
associates the materiality of sound and the use of residual timbres as citations of the collective ancestral
memory of the circle.

Space – Poetry – Spontaneity

Ana Maria Rodriguez links the spontaneity of improvisation with fully composed scores. Often she
takes part in the performances of her own works and can be seen on stage on the keyboards or as a
laptop artist. At the same time, she also works with the acoustic and architectural conditions of the
performance space when creating her compositions, installations and scenic works. Thematically, her
latest pieces could be said to revolve around the relation between poetry and technology. This
relationship does not only comprise the compositional use of words, poetry and literary sources, but
also in a more abstract way the musical utilization of technological means to create a richness of
perspectives based on poetry. Heterogeneous time layers, diverse spaces, plots running contrary to
logic as in poetry—Ana Maria Rodriguez is committed to expressing herself in a precise and sensuous

Description of the piece /

This video is part of a larger work of several modules of which the video solo COSIMA is one.
The sound is composed exclusively of different qualities of noise. On an abstract level, the noise
includes both the sounds of our environment, its cycles (e.g. ocean noise) and the urban sound
continuum.
The video takes the name of the cellist Cosima, who acts like a Tai Chi practitioner: focused on herself
and her slow movements, no matter what is going on around her.
As in Tai Chi, the choreography uses different forms that flow smoothly into each other. The forms, in
turn, consist of individual images that I see at the beginning and end of a movement.
With this video I wanted to show how we are simultaneously involved in the cycles of nature but at the
same time and inescapably in the urban context.

LUAR is the inexorable descent of the man within himself. A fall towards the most hidden places of his
soul where the protagonist struggles with the multiple representations of the self. The atavistic
(primordial – forse suona meglio) conflict of every individual fragmented in a horde of identities. The
poetic and the words of poet Fernando Pessoa accompany this descent towards never-ending
subjectivity, through the labour of existence which, in its own way, finds a resolution.
LUAR is a Portuguese word that means ‘moon light’, the quintessential nocturnal light, the one and only
light amongst the shadows, which allows to see the hidden side, in which the inner epiphanies emerge
in their splendour, and cruelty.

Description of the piece /

In Sanskrit language, KRIT means “to cut into pieces”, “to split”, “to spin a thread”, but also “to play”, and
“to accomplish something by performing”. Both notions of the word appear to me always essential and
important in working with sounds. The foundation of KRIT is a chaotic basic sound which gets cut and
split into many variations and assembled into new sound gestures and textures. During the course of
the composition the basic sound is developed into chaotic as well as consistent states. Point or plane
qualities emerge and are heard in different grades of density and spatialisation. Spatialisation:
Ambisonic.

Title / Titulo "Palacio de Cristal" Duración / Legth 07:00

Description of the piece /

"Palacio de Cristal" is an octophonic acousmatic piece based on field recordings made in the venue of
the same name in the Retiro Park in Madrid and composed during June 2018.
The piece oscillates between pure abstraction and the presentation of the material literally as it was
recorded. The spectrum was divided, separated and fragmented into different channels to be
reconstructed through the octophonic stage in a spatial resynthesis.
The result is a sound visit to the Crystal Palace but seen through a prism, through a translucent curtain,
where we cannot clearly define the shapes and contours of what we hear, but we can guess as if we
were seeing shadows on the evening.

total (holos). In both instrumental and electroacoustic writing, his music calls upon a "virtuosity of
sound," a hyper-idiomatic writing which emphasizes on the precise production of variable sound
possibilities and the correct distinction between one timbre and another to convey the musical ideas

AI Phantasy was composed at the GRIS multichannel studio, the University of Montreal in Quebec,

used a vacuum cleaner to set into vibration various membranes and a costume made mechanical
circular pan flutes, which I then modulated with my hands, controllers and a robotic arm following the
Fab Synthesis paradigm.The word Phantasy refers to a phantasy with "Ph" as a state of mind of an
infant child during the early stages of development. Phantasies are constructed from internal and
external reality, modified by feelings and emotions, and then projected into both real and imaginary
objects. On the other hand, Fantasy (with "F") is a reverie, a daydream, an imagined unreality that
anyone can create. We fantasize consciously about future possibilities and the fulfillment of our basic
needs and wishes.

Neurotransmit 10:00

Description of the piece /

Neurotransmits (anagram of ‘number stations’) is an electroacoustic composition that explores the
mysterious world of number stations. Featuring sounds from ‘The Buzzer’, ‘The Pip’, Lincolnshire
Poacher, among others from different countries. The piece conjures the atmosphere of a spy listening
in on clandestine transmissions in a safehouse.
The sounds of the number stations are woven together with the electronic hum and other electronic
apparatus, evoking a sense of cold war operations. Other sounds mimic capacitors discharging such
as bullets and bouncing balls. They are processed to decay since they are part of the same secret
code. As the piece progresses, the listener is drawn deeper into the world of the number stations,
walking a thin line between abstract and abstracted sounds.
The composer does not assume any responsibility or liability for any loss or damage, arising from the
listening and prior triggering of: dead-man's switch, neural implants or psychological conditioning.

“A piano that resonates within a piano that resonates within a piano”.

The idea for the project arose in 2017 from a visit to a piano repair shop. A luthier showed me different
disassembled and repaired pianos, all of different brands and in very different states. This contact with
such diverse pianos and in such diverse states, opened up a great number of new gestures and sound
possibilities to explore for me, and at the same time sparked a charm and interest in using the instrument
as an interpreter in itself, and thus, reinterpreting its role as interface and sound generator, and also
presenting it as an indirect interpreter, transformer and sound projector that recreates the piece according
to its temperament, thus giving a different meaning to the gestures of the work in each performance,
depending on the piano played. interprets and the space in which the work is projected. I am interested in
projecting in the work the image of a formal sound construction where a piano resonates within a piano
that at the same time resonates within another piano in which we find ourselves inside as a public
spectator, being able to perceive the different sound planes generated.
This series of variations in real time forms the final part of a series of 12 miniatures for piano and
electronics in fixed time started in 2017. It seeks to make a temporal study and establish the instrument as
a central dramatic actor, governed by a conditioned mechanism within of a system open to the impact of
the environment in which it is found and to the interference of the conditions of the environment in which it
develops and to break the linearity of the discourse through exploring processes of transformation,
reproduction, exchange of temporal and spatial structures , of gestures, sounds and sound objects, used
in space and time.

Title / Titulo Muted, Hear No Echo Duración / Legth 05:00

Description of the piece /

"Muted, Hear No Echo" is inspired by the environmental issues of noise pollution and modern
industrialization. This work uses field recordings from urban areas and combines them with sounds of
nature. Specifically, the musical material uses a variety of owl calls to express the dangers of noise
pollution to owl species that rely upon natural communication for their survival, such as the Mexican
Spotted Owl that can be found in Zion National Park. The solo trumpet functions as a personification
of the owl call and is generated through the conversion of the owl call field recordings into MIDI to
determine the initial pitch material. It is then further altered with various timbral techniques and other
electronic effects. The choir functions as a disruptive catalyst of the “noise” element, ultimately
dissipating and polluting the owl’s capacity to communicate effectively, by the movement’s end.

changing climate. By decoding the spherical soundfields captured with this technology, listeners are
acoustically transported to these remote locales teeming with life. In collaboration with performers at

Title / Titulo Brucaradici Duración / Legth 09:04

Description of the piece /

“Brucaradici” is a piece for fixed media that explores the variation in the width of the meshes that
create a sound mass. Moreover, through sound processing techniques based on iteration, it has been
possible to "tame" the flow of these masses allowing the movement between the organic gestures of
the latter and the digital one coming from the sound processing.
The result is a witness of the polymorphic sound potential: the material element is revealed through
moments of microscopy of the voice modulated by augmentation dynamics triggered by the electronic
and artificial control of digital sound processing.
The resulting new hybrid identity then takes the breath of a unique living organism that responds to the
morphogenetic changes that its two natures impose on it. The Brucaradici seems to consider as the
only possibility of existence: the activity of observation of its own evolution.

which we are constantly immersed, almost to the point of drowning, and some thoughts emerge like
interferences in our mind-set. Thoughts that create a different pattern in our steady life, that force us to
stop and reflect, in a moment of reconnection with ourselves, as human being and part of the nature.
How magical and refreshing is the place where it is allowed to reconcile with our body and mind?! But,
how long can we hold out? There is always a point in which we have to come back to reality. However,
what is reality? Is that what society suggests us to be real?

context of sound transforms the perception and meaning of it. An intuitive and contradictory
composition that experiments with the relationship between repetition and stillness, sound that
transforms irregularly and unpredictably is like a riddle. The progression is chaotic, but the impression
given, implies consistency, serenity and order.

Times)

Description of the piece /

Hazy times are delicate and fragile. They are traversed by aerial, ghostly and ephemeral sounds. These
appear as unstable forms which rapidly dissolve: an existence is of programmed evanescence. The
whole piece is made up of electronic sounds composed using different analog synthesizers. Several
layers interpenetrate. They are traversed, in the last part, by a mechanical and repetitive sequence
which could symbolize the possible condensation of these sound vapours.

Revealing after Thousand Calls
-- Acousmatic music for Live Multi-channel Difussion(06:35)

The sound source of the work was mainly drawn from the Chinese plucked Stringed instruments--
Pipa.The main ideas of the composition is to abstract and to “white wash” the sound object, to
suspend listeners’ ears through overwhelmingly sonic transformation. As a result, it’s only until the last
moment of the piece which the original material was revealed.

The idea of proponing the appearance of original sound source to the last moment of the composition
was drawn from a Chinese poem ”Song of Pipa” by Po-chui I in Tang Dynasty. In the poem, a mysterious
lady Pipa player finally appears after audience ‘s thousand calls after her amazing performance.

species or inorganic elements within a system. Through this composition, the intention is to transcend
the surface-level connection between humans and animals, delving perceptively and sonically into the
intricate layers governing communication with other species. By immersing the listener in this piece,
the invitation is extended to explore the hidden modes of communication and connection between
horse and human. Using a sonic palette characterized by textures, patterns, and dense layers, the aim is
to capture the sound codes that transcend human language and draw closer to the animal.

The title (Te-susabi / 手すさび) is a bit old-fashioned Japanese, which roughly translates to something

spasmodic action. I am taking that into consideration. My hands wrote jumbled programs, then blindly
manipulated my DAW, and my ears listened to the results. This repetition. The haphazard process itself
is my concern. The root word "susa" also means desolation. It is chaos, a mixture of natural fertility
premonitions and political anarchy. The sounds packed into this audio file are not intended to represent
any particular passion, concept or story. Rather than sound, it is a representation of sound or a
representation of matter, an informel sculpture composed of synaesthetic touch and time.

This work uses sounds recorded in a kitchen and the sound of a flowing river. One of the attractions of
electroacoustic music is the creation of space through sound. The use of sonic materials connects the
kitchen and the riverside, which are two different spaces. Although the two are spatially unrelated, the
combination of acoustic textures creates new spaces and connections. The compositional method
combines the performance of sound instruments being recorded, the manipulation of acoustic
processing parameters, and the construction of waveforms on a DAW. The music comprises sections
listening to the constructed sounds, soundscapes, stories progressing through acoustic synthesis, and

Description of the piece /

The diptych composed of The Sweet & Prickly and The Inspired is an excerpt from Anthology of
Laughter, an electroacoustic work that employs as its essential sound material the laughter from the
recordings of three hundred invited participants. The musical writing, based on very precise sound
selection, manipulation and editing, brings into focus the timbres, the rhythms and the pitches of this
material.
The diptych plays on contrasts: mainly closed-mouthed, restrained and polished laughter in the first
part; full-throated, wild, "animal" laughter in the second.
The four verses of The Sweet & Prickly feature the laughter of men, only mouths closed; the four
refrains arise when one of the men laughs to the point of opening his mouth.
For The Inspired, various articles on ritual laughter fascinated me: laughing at ceremonies, during
sacrifices, etc. – cf. the Roman Lupercalia, or the sacrifice of Isaac (meaning “he laughs”) in the Bible.

The work is made entirely with recordings of a intervened piano and with practically no processing.
Starting from considering the piano not as a musical instrument fully integrated into a certain sound
culture and tradition, the piece is rather a meticulous investigation into the sound possibilities of the
object. The result, as in a carefully arranged garden, aims to be a statement about the construction of an
acoustic ecosystem through the modeling of perception and physical and psychoacoustic reactions. Like
any garden, this territory enclosed by duration also tends to be a heterotopia: worlds within worlds,
containers that contain themselves while also housing all other possible spaces, including Beethoven's
piano, Chopin and Prokofiev; in addition to the object detached from its own history.

Title / Titulo Kinalugarán Duración / Legth 19

Description of the piece /

Derived from “lugar” (Filipino/Spanish: “place”), “kinalugaran” refers to the site where
an object is placed. Common contexts imply that one should know their place in society, an emphasis
on social harmony among Asian communities. As a result, assertive voices among first-world
societies are most heard at the expense of silent people, othered and rendered invisible.

"Kinalugarán" highlights this condition at the forefront. An audio essay features Filipino artists based
in first-world diasporas: violinist Ramon Alfonso Soberano (Tempe, AZ, United States); film composer
Marie-Luise Calvero (Freiburg, Germany); and theatre creator Riley Palanca (Montreal, Canada). Weaving
through juxtapositions of Tagalog poetry, they narrate their perspectives surrounding invisibility,
integration, and homelands over soundscapes of found objects, musical instruments, and Philippine
indigenous instruments by Jayson Palolan.

Commissioned by New Music Concerts (Toronto), the creation of "Kinalugarán" was made possible by
the support of the Ontario Arts Council.

EVAi is an audiovisual exploration where it is about playing with the representation of artificial
intelligence interacting with the information that we pour into inputs and becoming aware of itself and of
otherness, thus the digital body of the interpreter is an abstraction of the refinement process that It is
having the algorithms and AI that are currently available to people. Data bending and data corruption are
used to create distortions and interferences that try to approximate the videos generated by these apps,
however, the error is left as the axis where these algorithms are refined when finding a node to address
more specifically.

¿Dónde está el espacio para el eufemismo del amor? 09.53

Description of the piece /

Where is the space for the euphemism of love?

It establishes a dialogue of hybrid resources between voice, electronics and video, explores the limits of
timbre, dynamic and rhythmic saturation and interacts with the degrees of color purity, generating a chain of
sound-visual objects that vary in their micro and macro form, nourished by the timbre of the voice, in which
the word is the guiding thread, giving it meaning and coexisting with each other to create a single
compositional discourse.
Inspired by the poem "...and suddenly", by the poet Victoria Tobar, the text is dismembered in the time line,
creating monosyllables that little by little make sense until they meet the word, the phrase, the poem. .

Title / Titulo Dorep Ampora Duración / Legth 06.35

Description of the piece /

“Dorep Ámpora” is an audiovisual piece for percussion and electronics. The piece's name is a
reorganization of the characters contained in “Pedro Páramo”, a novel by Mexican writer Juan Rulfo.
Pedro Páramo is the “story of a town that was destroyed after submitting to the rule of Pedro Páramo, a
despotic leader. In the novel, multiple stories blend, and the narrative line does not unfold in a precise
chronological order. Instead, three main guiding structures generate a type of narrative that is
associative, rather than chronological.

In “Dorep Ámpora”, the percussion performer(s) plays three-part guided improvisations reacting to
graphic scores. Each performance is required to be recorded, and the composer digitally reconfigures
the resulting audio and video into the final, layered audiovisual piece.

Title / Titulo Muted, Hear No Echo Duración / Legth 05:00

Description of the piece /

"Muted, Hear No Echo" is inspired by the environmental issues of noise pollution and modern
industrialization. This work uses field recordings from urban areas and combines them with sounds of
nature. Specifically, the musical material uses a variety of owl calls to express the dangers of noise
pollution to owl species that rely upon natural communication for their survival, such as the Mexican
Spotted Owl that can be found in Zion National Park. The solo trumpet functions as a personification
of the owl call and is generated through the conversion of the owl call field recordings into MIDI to
determine the initial pitch material. It is then further altered with various timbral techniques and other
electronic effects. The choir functions as a disruptive catalyst of the “noise” element, ultimately
dissipating and polluting the owl’s capacity to communicate effectively, by the movement’s end.

Autumn of the Nations 03.00

Description of the piece /

November, 9 1989: thousands of East Germans take to the streets forcing the gates in front of the
powerless guards at the checkpoints; on the other side of the wall, the West Germans welcome their
brothers with open arms.
The images of the fall of the Berlin Wall, as well as a few months before those of the unknown
insurgent with plastic bags that challenges a column of tanks in Tiananmen Square, have indelibly
sculpted our era.
After many years from those events, a period known as the "Autumn of Nations", a short film to
celebrate, as well as a pretext for a bitter reflection: after more then thirty years, geographical maps
and mental borders have been redesigned in favor of a globalization that doesn’t take count of the

Memoria 新庄 24-1 27:00

Description of the piece /

This project originated after the initiative of my friend flutist Cheng-Yu Wu, who in 2017 invited me to
Taiwan to create an open work. We did not plan much and our only guide was that the protagonist of
our collaboration would be the house of his family located in 新庄 [Xinzhuang], space where no one
lives anymore.
This house is located in a rural area, which is currently under a process of industrialization. Some
traditional houses like this one —of progressive construction— have received government support for
their preservation, but the selection criteria are linked to size, prioritizing houses which completed a
square around a central courtyard. This policy has left some houses —like this one, which only forms
an L on the floor plan— out of conservation programs. During three days, we took photographs, filmed
and recorded sounds of the house and its surroundings to create this audiovisual memory.

Description of the piece /

"Your eternal open wounds" is an electroacoustic work with video, which revolves around the detachment
of humans from nature. This piece is a representation of how our reality today is constituted from
incessant machine noise and self-absorption on the part of people, neglecting nature and resulting in its
punishment. The lack of awareness towards caring for nature today is what motivates the composer to
address this issue and, through music and the visual part, contribute to raising awareness of it.

Title / Titulo Reciso Duración / Legth 10:00

Description of the piece /

This piece is composed of gradual and slow sound transformations. These evolution zones are
abruptly severed at different points, with the intention of exploring the perceptual impact of acoustic
fractures. In particular, the idea of spectral fragmentation is developed, each time focusing on different
areas of the spectrum, while the overall structure continues its development. The entire piece is
therefore developed with contrasting elements, on the one hand a coherent and directional sound
evolution, on the other sudden cutting events that destabilize the temporal flow of the composition. In
this sense, the piece is part of a broader musical tradition, in which the idea of contrast and tension
has been explored through different compositional techniques. However, the cuts always act as
junction points from which new transformation zones start, thus building a rhizomatic form.

Description of the piece /

"non-Human" es una obra que presenta la creación de un lenguaje posthumano a través del análisis del
poema sonoro UrSonate de Kurt Schwitters y su transformación en un nuevo lenguaje cyborg formado
por los fonemas utilizados en la obra "Alienación". La pieza utiliza la sonificación de fragmentos de
este nuevo lenguaje y presenta una segunda capa basada en texturas de vocales que transicionan
lentamente a lo largo del esquema seccional. La obra es estática y lenta en general, con momentos de
energía que se autorregulan. La pieza plantea una metáfora de interacción entre el ser cyborg, la
tecnología y la naturaleza, donde la modulación funge el papel de alienación entre las fronteras del
lenguaje humano con el objetivo de establecer un diálogo entre las partes.

Title / Titulo Nebula Duración / Legth 09:00

Description of the piece /

The name of the electroacoustic work Nebula alludes to The Spirograph Nebula. In this ellipsoidal cloud,
the trajectories or currents of matter trace spirographic eddies. This spirographic structure organizes the
texture and spatiality of the work. For the composition of the octophonic work, the compositional and
analytical criteria developed by Panayiotis Kokoras and Gary Kendall are used as formal, sound, textural
and spatial construction procedures.
Panayiotis Kokoras with the concept of Morphopoiesis refers to instrumental, vocal and electroacoustic
music that focuses his interest on the internal and external attributes of sound through time. He alludes to
a general procedure for structuring musical form and is mainly related to timbre.
The spatiality of sound is raised from the analytical approach proposed by Gary Kendall. This approach
allows the study of the transformation of sound material and the disturbance of spatial schemes.

An Insect that Shuns the Light 08:00

Description of the piece /

An Insect that Shuns the Light is a fixed media composition that makes use of ambisonic
technologies. Although a link to a version for an 8-channel loudspeaker ring is supplied, it can be
adapted to other loudspeaker configurations. It was realised via the use of Mosca in Supercollider and
OSSIA score.
Programme Note:
Scuttles in pursuit of darkness. Foul-smelling, skin-shedding. A pest of book collections; page-eating,
destructive.
Ground up with oil, a remedy for earache. Infused in tea as a cure for tetanus.
Delicious when fried in a wok.

Habitat 05:28

Description of the piece /

Habitat is a piece somewhat inspired by a personal experience: a car trip where I didn’t know where
exactly we are going, how long it will take and how I would get to the place I wanted to be in the next
morning. That put me in a weird state of mind where everything seemed at the same time painfully fast
and slow.
I was interested to see what that could mean as some sort of musical etude. What came out is an
overwhelmingly active, fast moving music that at the same time, due to its repetitiveness, has a static
quality. On a sonic level, I experimented with combining highly digital sounds and organic textures,
which you might also hear on the level of montage (rough digital cuts | fades and joint gestures of
different sounds).

Description of the piece /

“In this world which we enter, appearing from a nowhere, and from which we disappear into a nowhere,
Being and Appearing coincide”
Hannah Arendt, Life of the mind

Field recording, as an operation determined by rituals, times, and techniques, qualifies for its non-
exhaustive character by releasing the need to be artistically varied. Thus escaping the source into the
source itself. In this perspective, the world seems to arrange itself as a true musical paradigm that
dictates its syntax, its connections, and its structural functions.

In this work, field recording is grafted onto the practice of interviews.

Agata, an 11 years old girl, shows us her field – stark – at the center of tense and contradictory forces,
between her being a child, wanting to become a woman, her aspirations, and social impositions. Her
strength is disarming, and the tone of her voice is exceptionally beautiful.

Site, and the “Historic Monuments and Sites of Hiraizumi,” was accepted under criteria ii, "exhibits an
important interchange of human values…on developments in architecture or technology, monumental
arts, town-planning, or landscape design”, and vi, "is directly or tangibly associated with events or living
traditions, with ideas, or with beliefs, with artistic and literary works of outstanding universal

Duration: 5:28
Composed in 2021
Schichtungen (German, means statifications): vertically layered sounds condense into signs with
individual characteristics. These signs, in turn, are layered into each other and one after the other. In
this way they interact with each other: they meet, merge, detach from each other. Relationships are
established and dissolved again in different constellations. Encounters and events structure the course
of time. Just like in real life.
About the technique: the individual sounds, except for the vocal sounds, consist of superimposed
layers of repetitive sound particles. Each layer has a different repetition speed, with the speeds in prime
ratios to each other. The choice of layers, their density, and the acoustic source material of the sound

Description of the piece /

Conceived as an acousmatic work, I used specific sounds from Daniel Kientzy's family of 7 saxophones
(techniques described in "Saxology" and precise monodic musical phrases). I didn't manipulate the
sounds; I got the abstract-concrete result I was looking for. I chose this singular instrumentalist, with a
predilection and taste for electroacoustic music. Timbre and purity of sound have been his constant
concern. Creator of the Enneafonía for the concerts of what he considers a
«meta-cameralidad» and with more than 300 premieres, he is the quintessential interpreter of the genre.

Lat 20

Description of the piece /

Late Night Swim borrows its sonic material from organ and piano recordings from my score of Eulogise
Me, directed by Colombia University masters student Alex Bateman. This work becomes completely
distinct from the score, processed through Max/MSP in different manners from its source material -
granular synthesis, delays and loops, gathering artefacts from the software.
It became a new way of looking at musical material for me - rather than becoming static in its position
in a piece of music, a sound can live and breathe beyond its original treatment.
Inspired by late night walks through Sydney, the work also has lately become a study for me in how
music functions in its environment, seeping into the empty space and filling its container like water -
how different elements of a fixed recorded become ascribed to site- specific elements of whatever
environment it’s heard in.

Humans feel comfortable in nature. However, this can also happen in a form modified by man. Humans
shape nature according to their aesthetic demands; the Schwetzingen Palace Park is a wonderful
example of this baroque tradition. My work focuses on dressing various sounds of nature that can be
felt and heard in this park in an artificial garment. To do this, I use two prepared grand pianos on which I
reproduce these natural sounds and then process them electronically. In this way, I go through a similar
process on a musical level as the architects of the baroque palace garden. The idea of artificial
naturalness becomes the core idea of this work.

Geo-Bio-Anthro 7.5

Description of the piece /

I wanted to find the means in which connects geophony, biophony and anthrophony, as termed by
Krause. The relating factor between all three was air, whether that be breath or wind.
The piece has two main sections: fast, fragmented sections of biophonic or anthrophonic sounds
(section 1) and slow geophonic soundscapes, which have the support of breathing (section 2). Two
types of relationships support the means for juxtaposition between samples: they either share a
timbral or spectral similarity or they have a metaphoric connection (e.g. cat and tiger). As the piece
progresses, granulation, particularly on speech samples, takes over the long geophonic sections
(section 2). Granulation allowed me to draw a connection between the timbral qualities of wind and
speech samples. I offer windows of fragmented sound between these granular builds to summarise
the inter-source connections. Breath and wind draw a close to the piece, as they relate all samples.

Description of the piece /

Pari is inspired by ritual-type ceremonies and, more generally, by those practices which, by modulating
the quality of listening, aim to draw on particular dimensions of experience. Pari has a linear-cyclic
trend that develops over six tracks and is based on the repetition of an ordered sequence of 13 female
voice samples, immersed in electronic sounds. The samples include words of the Italian language and
meaningless vocal expressions, of an emotional type: Prati, Con, Gheu, Pari, Oss, Alti, Se, Sol, Boi,
Mmhs, Ella, Za, Onde. The words and vocal expressions are accompanied by the melodies of a
synthetic instrument. The use of electronics is present both in the use of textures and in the use of
punctual intervention tools. The repetition of the vocal samples creates a sort of temporal suspension
and causes the attention to move from the meaning of the words to the emotional charge of the voice.

The wisdom of literature dating back centuries posits that we cannot encounter The Other in its true
form, for that which is Holy is beyond our comprehension, and can only be perceived by reducing its
unmitigated essence to an image reflected through the lens of our own experience. The alien shore of
faraway world presents itself to us in these reflections, echoes of our memories’ horizon.
Illyria was realized at the University of Oklahoma Recording Studio, May 2019. Many thanks to Skye
Singleton for the vocal recordings she provided for this piece.

Metasistema 1 - Homenaje a Roland Kayn 8

Description of the piece /

Obra basada en la noción de recursividad, noción adoptada por la visión cibernética de mediados del
siglo pasado y que se ha convertido en las nuevas estructuras informacionales para el control de lo
vivo y no vivo. El trabajo plantea la recursividad como un paso de lo mecánico a lo orgánico y cómo
este paso genera un nuevo estado llamado Organológico (Stiegler, 2017), que es la fusión de lo
inorgánico con lo orgánico. Del mismo modo, es una obra en homenaje al compositor cibernético

Title / Titulo Longue distance Duración / Legth 08 38

Description of the piece /

LLongue distance is an acousmatic piece designed and realized in 4 channels
The material consists of synthetic electronic sounds made with the Max or Pure Data software. These
are mainly harmonic or inharmonic drones that gradually change. The second major sound category is
composed of moments of piano transformed in real time extracted from a recording of a musical
radiophonic creation broadcast on France Musique channel. Longue distance evokes wide
perspectives; those that let glimpse and imagine the very far of the landscape. The progressive
mutations of the electronic sounds and the fog of the effects, which surround the piano, indicate an
itinerary which is prolonged and whose long distance leads to an attitude of floating daydream. The
quadraphonic space is thought to reinforce the immersion effect, which would be that of the imaginary of
great spaces.

Title / Titulo Study for a cosmic city Duración / Legth 7

Description of the piece /

"Study for a cosmic city" is an audiovisual work inspired by a utopian urban planning proposal exposed
by the composer and architect Iannis Xenakis in an essay entitled "La ville cosmique" (1965).

In an attempt to relate computer graphics to the formalization of sound, the structures that
characterize the utopian city are designed using superquadratic curves capable of describing
reasonable variations in amplitude and pitch. Parameter values extracted from buildings and paths are
used to process sound materials from unidentified radio transmissions actually received around the
world. In the graphic representation, each building transmits a specific radio signal whose quality and
intensity depend on the position of a cursor, also interfering with the other sound sources. Paths on the
ground, on the other hand, define the macro-formal articulation of the audiovisual work as well as the
virtual localization of the processed audio signals.

An experimental piece depicting our beautiful cosmic universe and our home planet that is soon
doomed to be destroyed by neglectful human-beings, who always try surpass the cosmological power
and become dominant over every inch of matter.
Dormition of the final ligh is a symbol of fading hope, acceptance and mourning. The catastrophic siren
letting us know about the fatal death, the death that is happening alone, in darkness, without anyone
realizing it…
The Piece can be divided into 3 parts:
• A calm gentle breath and singing accompanied by water drops and rain sound, soon followed by an
unsettling tone in voice, the harmony foreshadows the feeling of the unavoidable catastrophy,
• Rattling, banging, Alarms, sirens, mourning voices are there to witness and acknowledge the failure
of mankind ,
• Mourning and Acceptance – engraving the memories of the once beautiful universe

Description of the piece /

GeoSonic is an audio-visual piece that takes sound from the earth, and other
materials and creates visual representations of them with the use of an
Oscilloscope. The piece is inspired by the sound recordings and exhibitions of
Chris Watson as well as the audio-visual work of Ryoji Ikeda. Having discovered
both during my time in London, I was fortunate enough to interview Chris
Watson about his approach to sound recording and his work as a sound artist.
Conceptually, the piece is aimed to highlight the fragile nature of the Earth, how
each day more and more erodes away. There is a point at which each section
breaks or fades to nothing. This is an intentional choice to emphasise the scale of
what we are loosing and have already lost.

Description of the piece /

Between 2016 and 2020, I worked in Hong Kong, as an examiner for one of the various universities.
During my visits, I stayed in the Causeway Bay area of the city where, jetlagged and unable to sleep, I
would spend hours wandering the midnight streets. Disorientated and exhausted, I witnessed
something unforgettable - the moment when the Hong Kong day collapses into night. This moment
produces something of a pause... a breath... a gathering of forces... This moment was never silent,
however. The city crackled, as if an electrical charge arced through the streets. Goodnight, Tin Hau
uses recordings from my visits, along with an arch-form, in an attempt to re-live that moment. As I
composed, however, I became increasingly aware of the changing political situation in Hong Kong, and
now reflect on those four years as part of a much more serious pause... a collapse... a gathering of
forces...

approach at the macro level, the work has a form in three blocks with different textures and characters,
and that have certain common materials filtered and reprocessed. There is a sound continuity that
