about

Re-worked sound material originally produced for a single-person site-specific sound installation developed during the artistic residency Providenza 2120 in the mountain forest of Pieve (Corsica) in August 2020. The project has been inspired by sci-fi writer Alain Damasio’s concept of “intertime”, which suggests the possibility of receiving messages from the future.

The project documents and reinterprets the soundscape of the land making use of two independent looped sound layers independently spatialized through a pair of headphones and two mono speakers in contact with the participant’s body. One can chose at the beginning of the journey through a touchscreen in which time frame to start and switch between layers with a ring-button.

The first layer aims the time compression of a full day into 20.20 minutes and represents the present soundscape of Providenza making use of unprocessed field recordings from the land. The imaginary journey starts in the early morning developing through the night into the dreamland. The second layer representing the future/past lasts 21.20 minutes and features processed field recording from present soundscape together with artificial & sound pollution sources not detectable by our hearing: electromagnetic fields and infrasounds from soil, trees and resonating surfaces.

The present dimension is experienced only through headphones, while the future/past makes also use of an external speaker positioned over the head allowing to perceive the electromagnetic landscapes, plus a second speaker placed on the chest and emitting low frequencies from the infrasound recordings. Both layers feature also underwater sounds from the water tank of the land where living forms have been growing and adapting into the intertime of Providenza.

I love how soundscape artists like MJ and PJM can turn field recordings into magic mirrors to help us see the wonder in our everyday worlds. I have never heard a scaffold singing, but now I want to listen! I hear here, too, how the organic and mechanical can merge into something new and mysterious, even transcendent, in the densest urban environments if we open ourselves to that possibility. And what a lovely mix of droning and percussive textures! Dave Aftandilian

Every track is special, from the glacier melts of iceland, the icy waters of the southern pole, the amazon river turtle laying eggs. A carefully curated collection that includes some of the best recordist/composers working today - Felix Blume, Cheryl E. Leonard, Yannick Dauby and more.. Sublime. mikehoolboom
