1) Landscape
Natural sounds are the first movement of this sound work. It’s the only concrete, non abstract movement. Sounds of nature should be recognizable and generate a wealthy, comfortable sensation in the public. The idea of an unpolluted, equilibrated, friendly world is a fiction that help us to show the antagonism and the contradiction with the human development.
2) Noise should arise by “no input” techniques. No input it will be use not just as a compositional technique but as a metaphor: sound made by residual noise of human made equipment. Residual, but “necessary”, part of the evolution of the industrial age.
Noise will increase, from silence to almost the only sound heard, when anthropocene stage come.
3) When anthropocene come as noise, both nature and human create strategies to overcome the situation. Strategies that could be convergent or not. Strategies that could be spontaneous or conscious. Strategies that imply the possibility of the human to continue in this planet or to face an unparalleled situation. Dialectic in suspense ends with this question about what to do and how we think and make another possible world with nature as our partner.

With noise as source, human strategies will be referenced with a live performer processing the sound with different effects chains. Using alternatives audio routes, noise will be process though delays, looper, ring modulator, differents distortions, filters, etc, with the idea of extract differents possibles futures, sounds of a new paradigm of life. Also, in parallel, sound is processed digitally using different live-coding techniques. A pre-analysis based on MIR (Music Information Retrieval) stored in a database is combined with real-time processing and synthesis, random processes and human control via external interfaces. Also historical climate data is used to model sound in real-time. To achieve that, a custom software was developed under a collaborative initiative (https://github.com/sonidosmutantes)
