This piece belongs to the work ‘’Interior Gardens’’, a series of pieces whose synthetic sonic material has resulted from an inner dialogue developed between the technology of audio spectral analysis and synthesis and the organic sound of guitar.
In Interior Gardens the technology of audio spectral analysis and synthesis provides a synthetic sonic material which forms an inner dialogue with the main musical notation for the guitar.
This work is characterized by mutations of the initial instrumental sound (Cello) in order to create a kind of ‘augmented reality’ timbral field above the original timbre of the instrument.
The compositional intention in this work is the transformation of vertical writing, i.e. chords, into linear sequential movement. It is about a dialectical development that defines the structural character of the project.
