"Nine to five to Paradise" gets its name from the Turin Metro station Paradiso; the 30 second recording upon which this piece is based was recorded as the metro arrived at the station of Paradiso. This 14 minute piece uses only sounds from that recording, including fragments of the bells and female voice announcing the station. All the sounds were treated using a digital audio workstation. Since I had worked on Musique Concrète in the seventies using magnetic tape, splicing and mixing and processing with the then new and innovative EMS VS1 synth, I was able to emulate these techniques with the computer software.

Nine To Five to Paradise

Experimental composer, currently working in the field of Acousmatic music; she has ADHD which means that she often leaves the tap (faucet) running, tries to do too many things at once (at one time, this was considered a virtue and called multi-tasking); but can be a blessing to her creativity. She is also a committed feminist and activist; “I only fight the battles for justice, equality and diversity.” 💜🌈  Member of: https://soundgirls.org/  and https://womensaudiomission.org/  and https://immujeris.morelia.gob.mx/
