432hz Synth (follow the drones)

MP3 changed the aural world as the first digital technology to compress audio, interpreting it through perceptual coding that models the standard human, hearing standard sounds, in order to sell and share them. Today, in the era of streaming and virtual meetings, bandwidth has become an even scarcer commodity: Artificial Intelligence comes to help, but the current codecs, such as Lyra by Google, or Opus, used by Whatsapp and Discord, present a sound reconstructed on the basis of their reference corpuses, and fine-tuned for speech – »good enough«, as defined by Sterne. A model is trained to efficiently distinguish noise from voiced information, and to rebuild a synthetic simulacrum of them, neutering context. When this happens, whose voice is your voice? Whose ears are your ears? And if, following Marius Schneider, sounds create the world, what is the world those models remember?

The research stems from a technical analysis of these codecs, their bias and their proven limits and virtues, to focus on the consequences of this widespread acceptance of apparently transparent audio transmission: a social, efficiency-driven homogenization of the soundscape; the elimination of more-than-human sounds. leading to a deeper dissonance in authenticity of the acoustic ecology; and creative possibilities hidden in abusing the emergence of meta-human debris.

Alright, let me tell you about my musical journey, which has taken me through quite a few different styles and instruments.

I started with a formal music education, where I studied French horn and church organ. I really immersed myself in the world of classical music, playing in concert bands and orchestras. Later on, I joined a military band, which gave me the chance to explore a wider range of instruments. I played clarinet, trumpet, trombone, and of course, horn. It was a great experience to be part of such a disciplined and professional musical organization.

Beyond performing, I also developed a keen interest in the mechanics of musical instruments. I became a church organ builder and a restorer of mechanical instruments. This allowed me to combine my love of music with my fascination for how instruments work. I found it incredibly rewarding to bring these complex and beautiful machines back to life.

In more recent years, I've found myself drawn to the raw emotion and soulful expression of the blues. I've taken up the blues harmonica, and I'm really enjoying the journey of learning this instrument and exploring this genre. The blues feels like a natural fit for me, a way to connect with music on a deeper, more personal level.

So, that's a little bit about my musical background. It's been a diverse and winding path, but I'm grateful for all the experiences and opportunities I've had along the way.
