Swanasa
- Forest.Human.Analog.Digital.-System Flow
Forest. Its stationary presence is to be found in the stories and legends of many ancient cultures. It can be featured with qualities as strong, flexible, shedding it’s old layers off, supportive for others, beside giving us oxygen, remedies and home for many life forms. Its sounds, the sound of this presence is organic, pulsating life. During my sound piece I inserted the sound of this life to my analogue synthesizer system while certain parts were digitally formed further to open a new passage of the realm of sounds and vision, to let the possibilities grow, change and unfold on their common way. Listen.
