untitled (2017)

Created in 2017 at ‘mobile messor’ (Den Haag, Milano, Zurich, Cagliari, Copenhagen, Mmabolela) and ‘Dune Studio’ (Loosduinen). ‘untitled#354’ created from original environmental sound matter recorded worldwide between 1995 and 2016. This piece was commissioned by Sónar Festival for their 2018 25th Anniversary project ‘Sónar Calling GJ273b’ (www.sonarcalling.com/en), in which they invited a few artists to create short audio pieces for outer space transmission. Original liner notes: The outer space transmission of a 10-second sound piece (digital audio file) to planet ‘GJ 273 b’ of Luyten’s Star (12.5 light years from Earth) required dramatic levels of data compression: mono 8kHz 8-bit.
