Motivated by a thought of making music which differs from what I was trying to do in the past - which was mostly dance-oriented techno music - the idea behind this study piece was to create something that could give a sense of unpredictability to the listener. I therefore opted to see where my imagination could lead me.

The project is divided into 3 parts. 
For the first part (from 00.00 to 03.00 min) I decided to walk around the city, search for interesting sounds and record them using a handheld recorder. These recordings would then be used as base material to be processed using a digital sampler. 
I was quite amazed to see how many unexpected sounds I could generate deriving from recordings of moving chains or dry branches.
After processing the material using several techniques (for example by using an LFO to modulate the playback speed or the start/stop position of the ‘playhead’), I recorded my improvisations and then edited, added several FXs and mixed them using Reaper DAW. Therefore the first part consists mainly of processed field recordings.

For the second part (from 03.00 to 06.00 min), the idea was to combine both field recordings and electronic sounds (produced using a semi-modular synthesiser). This time, I decided to leave the field recordings as natural as possible, giving a more ambient character to the composition. On the other hand, the synthesiser sounds were processed using the digital sampler. After programming the synthesiser in a bizarre way, I sampled it and improvised by manipulating several parameters like HP and LP filters, envelope generators and LFOs. During the editing and mixing process I tried to give more space to the electronic sounds, with the field recordings being more in the background.

For the third part (from 06.00 till the end), I decided to give more ambient and space only to the electronical sound of the Moog without any sound from the field recordings. 
I therefore opted to record more sounds from the Moog and to process them again using my digital sampler to create an unmistakable sound.
Here during the editing and mixing process I added some basics effects such as a Delay and a Reverb to give more space to the sound  and I tried to stretch the sample to creat a "slow and fast" movement in order to give a sense of unpredictability to the listener.

I hope that the project was able to convey at least in part what my expectations were and to give to the listener a sens of unpredictability, which I have been trying to do for a long time

Incalculable impermanence.
