Crypto timpani

"Crypto Timpani is a work whose sound seed is the song of cicadas. I experimented with different digital synthesis and other processing techniques and effects to generate new approaches and sensations that could evoke new ways of perceiving nature. I mostly used processes and effects from GRM Tools and Puremagnetik, as well as audio stretching tools, pitch shifters, and effects like reverbs and delays.
Subsequently, I organized the new sounds from “more natural” to “more electronic” and in this way I began to distribute them in space, to give the sensation of a landscape that is progressively transforming into another, from one reality to another. The core section of the piece is almost entirely composed of digital synthesizers that emulate the hypnotic and murmuring sound of cicadas, and then reintegrate into their natural habitat. The work is spacialized in binaural format, for an immersive experience with a headphones."
