This is an audio mix of the 4 elements from my sound installation/sculpture "Il tempo insassato che pur scorre" from 2020.

Background sound is played through the floor monitors, stereo, and they are placed on your left and right as you enter the room. This sound fills up the space like the light and opens it up beyond the walls of the gallery space, implying a reverberant, large, empty room/hall. The sound is composed by layering the multitude of oscillators coming from the EMS Synthi 100, covering each part of the spectra. 
The sound played through the speakers in front (which are covered by the cloth), are scattered sonic artefacts in low and mid registers, that should appear to be almost tangible and "real", as if something is moving beneath the cloth.
Devices hanging on the left and right wall are winding and unwinding the tape. They are sonified from within the box by the ready-made loops that consist of material produced by sampling the working procedures of the reel-to-reel tape recorder.

Durations of the tracks in the installation, differ from the ones in this mix which is made as an audio preview.

Installation was premiered at the gallery Weisser Elephant on January 2020 in Berlin, alongside the works by Alva Noto,  Robert Lippok, Katharina Bevand, Cecile Dupaquier, Anne Gathmann, Harriet Gross and Elliane Radiue, to whom this event was dedicated, celebrating her work in electro-acoustic music and her birthday.
