Sounds
Above/Vibrates Below
"Sounds
Above/Vibrates Below” is a work based on a simple melody, which is
deconstructed to slowly distribute its subtracted elements in simultaneous
pitch and rhythmic planes, generating a rather spaced static texture. Another
layer interacts with the melodic texture, shifting between synthetic sounds and
field recordings of natural elements, human chants, city rumbles, and other
soundscapes, aiming to reflect the similarities of one into each other. This
piece has been created under the same concepts and ideas as the exhibition “As
above, so below” from Jessica Angel.
