about

“Unrecognizable Fantasy II” (5th electroacoustic study) (11:46):

A spectralist composition, the fifth electroacoustic study and another collaboration with Tod Shelton on sound sources.

“Unrecognizable Fantasy II” deals about natural and cosmic disasters and the sacrificial nature of the arrival into surface. It has three movements, the first about the disasters represented by the white noises and the liquified sounds that are melted. I attempted to recreate the sounds of seas splashing as well as the alarming effects of the pollution in dense atmospheres. The second movement is the emergence towards a nuclear catastrophe; beauty strives to survive here against dense frequencies. The third movement is the arrival into an isolated territory and the escaping in a spiritual flight (the ascending frequency sweep), but parallel from what is experienced (by the washes of white noise) surround.

This composition here is destined mostly for abstraction. All the sounds used here are of very symbolic nature. What particullarly surprises me here is how it was prophetic on what happened recently in Japan – I made it in 2010. I didn’t have a clue on how nuclear energy was functioning in the world, and all I knew is that someday it may cause a disaster of huge proportions. No, “Unrecognizable Fantasy II” is not fun or pure experimentation. It’s a very somber alarm and a call for help.
