Filippo Mereu –  Double Bass Mystery – Italy

This work is developed essentially on the analysis of double bass timbre. I started from various recordings of timbre to capture the complex nuances that characterize the different modes of execution by the double bassist. After having selected the most interesting parts on the timbre level, I manipulated the sound material projecting it in an acousmatic dimension, therefore unrecognizable and distant from the human gesture.
