Name: SPECIMAN
Album: Sprout Adventure Project Side2
Title Track: 06 Speice With You (PeaceBeWithYouCover)
Year: 1996
Details: The song concept comes from an original song by Patrick O'Hearn called "Peace Be With You" from his album Metaphor. I wanted the song to continue playing from the original. I turned it into a very piano butchered styling of a Bruce Hornsby kind of feel. This was some of the music I was listening to in the early to mid 1990's and this is what happened when it all came together with my imagination.

Underwater sounds of the Venetian lagoon recorded by Marta Picciulin, Department of Environmental Sciences, Informatics and Statistics, Ca' Foscari University, Venice (Italy). 

The research project explores the relation between sound and asemic scripts (scripts that deconstruct culture-specific and structured languages and transforms them into a universal language of pure emotion). The research project aims to develop an audio-visual script for transhuman life forms. The interaction between sound, colors, shapes, and motion will create a series of animated audio-visual segments, phrases consisting of unintelligible sounds, that can be assembled and combined in endless configurations, triggered by and responding to movement and light. The sounds of the Venetian lagoon will form the base of this exploration and will guide the creation of this imaginary script that may be used as an interface between the underwater and the overwater worlds. With water as a central theme, other keywords will be scripted into the content, referencing hypothetical values for future communication across species. A series of prototypes will develop that will be displayed on screens in an interactive installation.

Scripts of the Lagoon II - Exploratorium 2020

The Physics of Heaven is a collaborative work with italian ambient master Oöphoi (Gianluigi Gasparetti). It is a bright and ethereal jouney that explores the transition between life and death thru different spiritual traditions and mythologies. Sadly Oöphoi passed away recently (11-04-2013), so this albums also acts a personal tribute to the awesome work of  the artist that was both a friend and a mentor to me.

Oöphoi & Ran Kirlian - White Fields I (except)

From 2001 - 2004 ambient composer Patrick van de Ven (Netherlands) was searching for the perfect melt of synthetic and acoustic sound material.

The album Involution (2002) is a direct result of these compositions.
