this piece is born from the ashes of an indian chant. A blizzard of words, in a microtonal soundscape, under a storm of rhythm.
The human female voice is the only allowed sound material, all elements (from rhythm, beat, electronics) are derived from voice. All voices are sampled from various indian lps, in a crate-digger way of life.
DSP techniques are secret.
Bio: Federico Cataldo was born in Faenza many years ago (1987). Currently studying electronic music at G.B Martini Conservatory of Music in Bologna, his interests range from electroacustic music to crate-digging up to dub and experimental. Some of his works (like mikro-arbeit) are currently performed over the western world, from Sweden (Malmø) to UK (Leicester) and Firenze, Italy.
