“Symbiotic Hybridization” Sonic Fiction by GCKNG

Symbiotic Hybridization is a sonic atmosphere that contains raw nature sounds and heavy effect editing on Intergalactic “Sounds” (intergalactic pulsar radiations translated to sounds). This sonic piece tries to emphasize the ephemeral of ecosystems, that are as long as an Intergalactic Pulsar rotation (0.0015578 seconds), compared to the magnitude of the Universe. The ephemeral is represented through samples of Intergalactic Pulsars (nearest Pulsar from earth: 280 light years, farthest Pulsar from earth: 50 million light years) and the calling of an endangered specie the Helmeted Hornbill (Rhinoplax vigil, https://tinyurl.com/yc3ur2bb) from the rainforests of Malaysia that looks and behaves like a survivor from the Cretaceous era. Mixing this variety of sounds gave me a sense that all the “sounds” contained in the universe are not so different between each other, from the the buzzing of an insect passing through birds, bats and lightnings, the pulsars vibrate with some clear likeness. Some of these sounds reminds me to my childhood, others overturn my comprehension to nearly nonexistent places.

Thanks to the professionals that without their work this piece would be impossible.

“I may apologize for the bad quality of my recordings that sound so far away from the Professional ones but these were created through my window using amateur smart phone technology, I made this piece during the CoViD-19’s Quarantine hearing news of frightening data, realizing that Governments do not use or even heard about scientific knowledge. Something that we have learnt within the Quarantine is that there is another way to behave in order to reach Sustainable Development, because the complicated ecological equilibrium relations showed great resilience and regeneration rates. The Universe gave us some blinks of hope at the end of the tunnel, the view of the Everest from polluted cities, new sightings of species believed to be extinct, bioluminescence of different non-virgin beaches of the world, et cetera, are some examples of how fast the Environment can Regenerate his elements. Due to this, the scientific knowledge must be fundamental and must be used only for the Integral Human Development. We must save our Planet Earth before trying to reach other planets for colonization. We must take care of our natural resources and the ecological equilibrium that are the most profitable factors in Human History.”
