Obsidia – dos sons invisíveis ou das imagens audiveís - 09:14 (2017) 

One of the connotations of the term obsidiar (to obsess) is the idea of obsessive pursuit, of insistent focus. This idea of insistence is musically employed in the sense of the exploration of sound aspects that, throughout the piece, are heard. One of these aspects is the repeated focus on the spectral degradation of sounds, that is, the detailed work of subtraction, addition, multiplication, etc... of spectra of various sonic families. 

Another aspect that qualifies this piece is that, in terms of compositional methodology, it focuses on quasi-granular timbral exploitation, making extensive use of the doppler effect, animating sound objects with pronounced gestures and movements. 

The sources of this composition consist of sounds from various objects, manipulated and recorded at the ORF studios in Vienna, Austria, on the occasion of João Castro Pinto's radio art piece: "The No Land Soundscape Project" on April 30th 2017 (more info @ http://kunstradio.at/2017A/30_04_17en.html), and sounds of machinery dedicated to the printing of paper and currency coinage at the Imprensa Nacional Casa da Moeda. 

-----------

Obsidia – dos sons invisíveis ou das imagens audiveís is part of Esofonia, which is an anthology of acousmatic pieces that illustrates part of the musical journey of João Castro Pinto (from 1999 to 2017), released by MISO RECORDS, on October 7th 2017.
Although they are referred to as acousmatic, the works that appear here are, more precisely, of a hybrid nature, i.e., they vary drastically, in terms of quantity and quality, between the maximally acousmatic and the totally referential.
