Francesco Maccario - Antigrandine

from 13 Soundscapes by Various Artists

/

about

- Recorded 9 August 2018 at Castagnito, Italy

- Coordinates: 44.755712, 8.029503

- The recording took place in the courtyard of a house in the hills, in Piedmont.
The bangs are produced by anti-hail guns: a storm is imminent. There are birds, sporadic human sounds, dogs and, throughout most of the recording, rain, all punctuated by the bangs.
The human being eclipsed, the cannons sound like thunders, a transformation is occurring: a continually disturbed landscape becomes nature.
The variations are given by the overlapping of multiple audio signal processing onto the original recording - the rain triggers sound gestures that remind you of it, same goes for the owl -
which is left intact, uncut, and at a constant volume; the effect tracks come and go with imitative motive.
The idea is to turn a real landscape into an ambiguous place, where the various sound sources melt, losing their way.
