Critical Zone

My latest acousmatic geophonodesy, is now online on the excellent Sounding FUTURE platform.

LISTEN WITH HEADPHONES, as this is a binaural version of this 32-channel volumiphony.

Critical Zone

A permeable sonic heterogeneity

Inspired by the concept of the Critical Zone ^[1], this geophonodesy interferes with sound masses derived, among other sources, from natural sounds that have been reworked into synthetic sounds.

Here, sound flows and processes are treated spatially and temporally as ecosystems anthropically upsert by my compositional choices.

Somewhat similar, Critical Zone turns out to be an sound anthropo-stage.

This is an acousmatic volumiphonic work. A geophonodesy composed of 662 samples spread across 32 tracks. All of its material is from sound synthesis.

[1]  In 2001, the National Research Council of Canada defined the Critical Zone as « the heterogeneous near-surface environment in which complex interactions involving rocks, soil, water, air, and living organisms regulate the natural habitat and determine the availability of resources necessary for life ».
