The Object

In my composition I have used the idea of osmosis as an inspiration for the musical form. In the beginning of our course Marcus Maeder introduced us his recordings of sounds emitted by pine trees during periods of drought and caused by embolism in the water transportation system. That created a deeper interested in me to further explore the process of how water enters a tree and moves all the way up and gets dispersed. I decided to depict this process of water and air circulation also in my own composition mixed with recordings of my own from the soil in Glattpark and also from the Hönggerberg forest as a sonic "study" of the subject. One can hear simultaneously what is/what might be happening inside this imaginary tree, how the water and air moves from the roots to the very top of the tree, the  changes in water tension and other constantly present sounds within the soil. It should be mentioned that his project is not strictly or literally following any of the mentioned processes and is an artistic interpretation/ recreation of an imaginary soundscape inspired by all the recordings made by myself, with my colleagues and introduced by Marcus Maeder throughout the course.

Ayaa is a composition based on field recordings, some of them made in confinement and others taken from personal archives. It was therefore defined by current covid19‘s conditions. It is a „sonogenic“ piece, a term coined by composer Francisco López to refer to a creative approach in which sound itself suggests and leads the compositional decisions, structure and nature.
