BLACK SAND.
O dell’inverno generativo.

December 17th 2010, Sidi Bouzid, Tunisia: Mohammed Buoazizi sets himself on fire in front of the Governorate building.
In the heart of the North African winter that flame lights up the "Arab Spring". Images, sounds, emotions: an unstoppable flow of clandestine emissions spreads rapidly through the ether and hits the West like a storm of "black sand". Here is the indistinct magma of sounds, noises, voices and pulsations from which "Black Sand" draws vital longing.
In the piece, the different sound sources used - guitar, organ, field recordings - are isolated, deconstructed and altered through various treatments-digital (laptop) and analogue (tape delay)- in order to highlight, in the compositional act still, the shift.
The overlapping and consequent recomposition into a "natural harmonic whole" is achieved thanks to the slow flow of the coils.
A process that is truly not new in musical experimentation - the sonic isolationism scene; Jenssen and the Northern European school - but which well translates the sense of making electronic music: starting from a sound fragment and then "losing it" through the manipulation process and its organization.
A sound is a truth: the more sounds the more truth.
Stereophony forces a decision: what to donate to listening?
In remixing the polarities through the use of magnetic tapes, the unexpected discovery of a "sound winter" hidden inside 800 Hz:
“Black Sand” thus finds its final form additively.
