the discreet music of antennas
contact microphones recording for Presque Tout’s ongoing soundscape archive [Presque Tout, 2022]
digital
It is a drenched afternoon in Alto Adige as a storm plunges the Eisack Valley in a thick fog. The sky is cadenced by distant thunderbolts and the soundscape swallowed by cold downpours. Sitting on the flank of a mountain, Hotel Briol faces the Dolomites while overlooking the small town of Barbiano. By a window of the hotel, a radio aerial stands in the rain, its rods plucked by drizzling drops. To naked ears only the showers' white noise prevails, yet within the array of metal conductors lies the discreet music of antennas.
Recorded with Sound Devices MixPre-6 II and a pair of JrF C-series (neutrik) contact microphones.

a shadow cast on vapours
dronesque composition for the compilation “First Rays & A Lasting Echo” [A.V.A. 100, 2022]
triple cassette & digital
A figure walks on the wavering reliefs of a rocky crest. A mist gradually moves in. The mountain's outer layer gives in. Sunrays pierce the droplets in suspension. Faced by a warped shadow, the wanderer gently slides into unknown territories.
A contribution for Audio Visuals Atmosphere’s 100th release: a celebratory triple cassette compilation.

entering the taroko gorge
electroacoustic composition for the compilation “Sound Maps For The Dreamer III” [Sono Space, 2019]
digital
Electroacoustic piece composed using un-processed and processed field recordings captured in the Taroko Gorge (Taïwan) in 2016. You'll hear a blending of insects, water, unidentified industrial sounds and a percussive element found on site. Very little reverberation was added, some of it is the actual acoustics of the gorge. An old map of Taïwan dating from 1878 was paired with the sound.
