I composed this work as a response to an invitation from the Experimentation Center and Research in Electronic Arts (CEIArtE) of the National University of Tres de Febrero (UNTREF), for Argentina’s Suena project The proposal was to create a piece using sounds captured in the area in which I live. The concept of the work is related to the problematic relationship between the people and the noise polluting their environment. I recorded sounds in different urban and rural areas of the Bahia Blanca. I used different processes of synthesis and re-synthesis (granular, by spectral modeling, FM, etc.).
