"The work process I used recalls different techniques of sound synthesis.
"Starting from the concept and study of “soundscape” I left the track of the original audio file unchanged so as to have a sound background that acts as a glue, in this sense I kept the audio in its original form unchanged from the sound point of view, the only variations concern the length of the file where I did simple editing interventions such as cutting, making the file in fact shorter.
"The main techniques I used in creating new sound layers are granular synthesis where I synthesized all the original audio file and used some parts during editing. Other important interventions within the DAW were made with the addition of virtual instruments, which I used to create useful pads to give harmonious/melodic support to the ambient noise content.
"As for the compositional idea, I have tried to reimagine a dream landscape immersed in a ‘natural’ context, this context is being changed and sabotaged by the addition of useful electronic sounds to strengthen a transversal context that is increasingly invading the metropolitan landscape."
