Girl Running, 9' 00", 2009In the track Girl Running, a dialogue is established between the sounds synthesized with Xenakis' UPIC and the sound outputs of invisible electronic objects. By carrying these magnetic fields into the audible range, the sounds have been suspended, intimately researched, orchestrated, in order to cross the physical borders of aural perception.
Invisible Words, 12' 46", 2009
Invisible Words takes its name from the fact that most audio sources in this track come from the typing of an old Olivetti typewriter.
