Ripples of Nono (stereo improvisation)
modular synthesis improvisation & generative audio
This piece is an exploration of field recordings and live modular synthesis performance. It builds upon a recently completed research project, Immersive Sonic Snapshots: Exploring Cultural, Religious, and Natural Diversity Through Sound, a two-month international field recording trip across Iceland, Germany, Greece, and Italy, examining culture through sound.
In Ripples of Nono, I improvise over an unedited recording of downtown Matera, Italy, at night, creating an augmented sonic reality. This reflects how our memories of a place or moment often transform over time, becoming idealized, distorted, or imbued with a dreamlike quality that may not align with the reality of what actually occurred.
