''A Future That Never Been''

Mixed, edited and manipulated by Roberto Vilela 
Musica Dispersa for BUG Radio [002]


In A Future That Never Been, contemporary experimental compositions interweave with historical recordings and iconic sci-fi elements, forming a multi-layered sonic environment. 
Electronic textures, subtle noise, and abstract soundscapes coalesce into shifting auditory strata. Within these layers, voices and echoes from distant temporal corners emerge, allowing past and future to converge and intertwine in unexpected ways.
The inclusion of Adolphe Giacomelli’s earliest known recording from 1853 introduces a distant, almost archaeological echo, sharply contrasting with more immediate, technology-driven samples drawn from films and literary sources. In placing these cultural artifacts side by side, the piece cultivates a liminal atmosphere—one suspended between longing for unrealized futures and a sense of nostalgia for what never truly was.
This arrangement acts like a sonic palimpsest: layers of experimental sound, archival voices, cinematic dialogue, ritual chants, and fragments of distant eras overlap to evoke a hybrid mental landscape. Together, they guide the listener through human history, speculative imagination, and the latent potential of alternative civilizations. Each whispered phrase, each flicker of static, hints at worlds imagined but never born, inviting us to wander within the shifting contours of what might have been.

Musica Dispersa [BUG Radio 002] A Future That Never Been

Sourced sounds from videos I captured in Paris '24, Constructing Modernity is a response to Fernand Leger's Composition with Fruit (1938). It is an Alt-Cubist work critiquing the difficult standards of life and threat to organicity during extensive industrialisation of Paris. I implement themes of development, decay and regrowth and sociality, drawing parallels to the community that continues to grow.

Atmospheric Sounds - Experimental Sound Journey
Terra synthesizer meets resonant trombone and extraordinary oriental vocals - an artistic project by Boris RA (Terra) and Hüsseyin Aslan (voice, trombone).
This boundary-crossing sonic exploration invites listeners into a meditative soundscape where electronic and acoustic elements intertwine. Boris RA's Terra synthesizer creates sweeping electronic textures that serve as the foundation for Hüsseyin Aslan's hauntingly beautiful vocal performances and rich, resonant trombone passages.
The composition moves between moments of ethereal ambience and powerful crescendos, drawing inspiration from both contemporary electronic music and ancient musical traditions of the East. This cultural and instrumental fusion creates a truly unique auditory experience that transcends conventional music genres.
Perfect for listeners seeking innovative sound art that challenges perceptions while creating an immersive, meditative atmosphere.

Synthetic Spirit

Part of Art Licks weekender 2018, residents of a modernist housing estate in South East London were invited to contribute to a publication and exhibition within the building. My contribution consisted of manipulated recordings made within the surroundings of the block; contact mic recordings of heavy winds on the netting and local wildlife, such as foxes. The piece was then played back within the escape balcony and communal areas for the duration of the weekend. 

Mixed Media Installation. 2x speakers, amplifier, media player, recycled plastic sheet, fixtures.

LOW RISE (2018)

Stereo excerpt from quadraphonic installation at The London Canal Museum x Emerge Festival 2019. 

4 channel sound, duration: 1 hour 5 minutes

Speaker encased in ice, amplifier, white noise

Slow Time was a three part sound installation presented within the London Canal Museum’s public exhibition spaces and the unique former ice well in the basement. With reference to the building’s former uses, the installation features multi-channel sound compositions consisting of close-up recordings of ice melting and forming; field recordings from an ice manufacturers and an ice skating rink, along with recordings made on the Regent’s Canal. Recordings were also made site-specifically within the extraordinary architecture of the Victorian ice well. A loudspeaker encased within ice plays white noise, gradually melting and becoming louder throughout the duration of the exhibition.

Slow Time (Installation Excerpt 2019)

Tämä on matka. Tämä on kokemus, jonka suosittelen kuuntelemaan silmät kiinni ja mieluiten pimeässä huoneessa,  kuulokkeiden kanssa. Kiitos kuuntelemisesta.

This is a trip. This is an experience, and i recommend you listen to it in a dark room, eyes closed, preferably with headphones. Thank you for listening.

...Jos kaipaat irtiottoa tulevaisuudesta

Veden äärellä kirjoitin äänet muistiin

This is music that makes you feel uneasy, uncertain, uncomfortable and unhappy.

I made it because I constantly try to pull myself away from those feelings despite their usefulness in finding what makes you feel real and whole.

Klangwerk von HÜAS und Boris RA
Zwei Multiinstrumentalisten und experimentelle Künstler aus Hessen/Darmstadt präsentieren ihr gemeinsames Werk.
Dieses experimentelle Klangwerk erschafft meditative Klanglandschaften, die den Zuhörer aus dem starren Rhythmus der modernen Welt entführen. Durch die Verbindung des Terra-Synthesizers mit traditionellen Instrumenten wie Duduk, Mundharmonika, Flügelhorn u.a. entstehen faszinierende Klangwelten zwischen Struktur und Auflösung. Die ausdrucksstarke Stimme von HÜAS verwebt die analoge und digitale Welt zu einem einzigartigen Hörerlebnis.

Die Musik zeichnet sich durch mikrotonale Schwebungen (binaurale Sounds) aus, die positive emotionale Resonanzen erwecken, während verfremdete Perkussionselemente die lineare Zeitwahrnehmung kunstvoll dekonstruieren. Tempostabile Passagen bieten kurze Orientierungspunkte, bevor sie in unvorhersehbare, jedoch harmonisch ausbalancierte Klanglandschaften zerfließen. 
Die Texte entstammen teils kulturellen Überlieferungen aus dem Orient, teils deutschsprachig, teils türkische moderne literarische Abhandlungen eigener Schöpfung.
Als One-Take-Performance bewahrt das Projekt seine natürliche Authentizität. Die Musik schärft das Gehör, entlastet den rationalen Geist und öffnet Räume für tiefere emotionale Erfahrungen – eine klangliche Meditation jenseits konventioneller musikalischer Strukturen, die kulturelle Grenzen überwindet und eine einzigartige Balance zwischen harmonischer Ordnung und schöpferischem Chaos herstellt.

Sound Work by HÜAS and Boris RA
This experimental sound work creates meditative sonic landscapes that transport the listener away from the rigid rhythm of the modern world. Through the combination of the Terra synthesizer with traditional instruments such as duduk, jaw harp, harmonica, darbuka, and flugelhorn, fascinating sound worlds emerge between structure and dissolution. The expressive voice of HÜAS interweaves the analog and digital worlds into a unique listening experience.
The music is characterized by microtonal beating frequencies (binaural sounds) that evoke positive emotional resonances, while transformed percussion elements artfully deconstruct linear time perception. Tempo-stable passages offer brief points of orientation before they dissolve into unpredictable, yet harmonically balanced sonic landscapes. The texts draw partly from cultural traditions of the Orient, partly from German-language sources, and partly from modern Turkish literary treatises of their own creation.
As a one-take performance, the project preserves its natural authenticity. The music sharpens hearing, unburdening the rational mind and opening spaces for deeper emotional experiences – a sonic meditation beyond conventional musical structures that transcends cultural boundaries and establishes a unique balance between harmonic order and creative chaos.

HÜAS ve Boris RA'nın Deneysel Ses Eseri
Bu deneysel ses eseri, dinleyiciyi modern dünyanın katı ritminden uzaklaştıran meditatif ses manzaraları yaratır. Terra sentezleyicisinin duduk, ağız kopuzu, mızıka, darbuka ve flugelhorn gibi geleneksel enstrümanlarla birleşimi sayesinde, yapı ve çözülme arasında büyüleyici ses dünyaları ortaya çıkar. HÜAS'ın ifade dolu sesi, analog ve dijital dünyaları benzersiz bir dinleme deneyiminde bir araya getirir.
Müzik, olumlu duygusal rezonanslar uyandıran mikrotonsal titreşimlerle (binaural sesler) karakterize edilirken, dönüştürülmüş perküsyon öğeleri doğrusal zaman algısını ustaca yapısöküme uğratır. Tempolu sabit pasajlar, öngörülemeyen ancak armonik olarak dengelenmiş ses manzaralarına dönüşmeden önce kısa yönelim noktaları sunar. Metinler kısmen Doğu'nun kültürel geleneklerinden, kısmen Almanca kaynaklardan, kısmen de kendi yaratımları olan modern Türk edebi eserlerinden gelmektedir.
Tek çekimlik bir performans olarak proje, doğal özgünlüğünü korur. Müzik, işitmeyi keskinleştirir, rasyonel zihni rahatlatır ve daha derin duygusal deneyimler için alanlar açar – kültürel sınırları aşan ve armonik düzen ile yaratıcı kaos arasında benzersiz bir denge kuran, geleneksel müzikal yapıların ötesinde sonik bir meditasyon.

Plant more basil! My songs are best when watching the videos for them on YouTube :)

Säveltäjä, joka ei katsele reunoja, ei suostu huomioimaan rajoja. Kokeellisten äänien, sekä Sielun keiton kolmas Velho, havaitsee taajuuksien energiat, ja käyttää niitä armottomasti hyväkseen. Hän on multi-instrumentalisti-nisti, joka käy aamuisin lenkillä, mutta vieläkään, mikään soitin ei riitä. Onneksi, hänen sielu kuitenkin saa itsensä ilmaisemisen tarpeen lähes tyydytettyä, tällä sekoilulla.

All here, in reality, are works in progress and are therefore apt to change at any time. All those except XIII Sisters and RAW which, as many of you may have done, I literally gave away in return for their placement in a library. Something I won't be doing again any time soon. If you have a use for something you hear here please just ask.

ChatGTP said of AI Music...
'Creative AI tools can be seen as sophisticated plagiarism software, as they do not produce genuinely original content but rather emulate and modify existing works by artists subtly enough to circumvent copyright laws'

Sometimes it takes a dispassionate, independent view to actually see the truth of it ...

 .ooO -------------------------------------- Ooo.

There are links to XiiixxiQ below. Your mileage may vary as to whether it decides to work on your system or not. It only runs on a Mac because I really don't have time to do all the necessary work to make it compatible with anything other than my 2015 MacBook Pro :-(. It is still being developed (for my own use) and improved, and I may yet get round to doing another release if I can find the time to tidy it all up.
