Dear LAU,
I'm happy to share this acousmatic piece I have made available online.
On soundcloud:
https://soundcloud.com/lorenzosu/machine-landscape
Direct download of the FLAC file is also available from that soundcloud page

Machine Landscape presents a sonic experience inspired by 'the machine',
predominant and unavoidable element of our contemporary life.
The piece was entirely composed with Linux.
and was performed at EmuFest 2013 electronic music festival in Rome in
October. For the festival the piece was performed on a 24-speaker 'dome'
system and spatialised live.
For what concerns software Ardour3 and Pure Data had a predominant role.
Lorenzo.

Hello Lorenzo!
Don't I discover one sound, that I've heard before? The vocodic breathing
near the beginning? I've heard that before, but I'm not sure, if that wasone
of your pieces as well or not.
This is more atmosphere and cinema in my ears than music. But for all that,
I like it. There is the disturbing note, that machines usually inspire. In a
matter of images it reaches from old steam to the most modern inexplicable in
my mind. A few effects remind me of 70s robots, I'm thinking of Marvin the
paranoid android, both in the 70s English original and the 80s-90s German
translation.
Definitely not something I would listen to, while doing anything else or
just for a fun five minutes. But I think, it is something, to which I will
return. Explore your landscape further, penetrate into the hidden cravesses
and electronic sadows.
Thanks for sharing this piece. It has been an experience.
Warm regards
Julien

Dear Julien,
Thanks for your kind words.
Well spotted on the 'breathing' at around 0:56 and on is _very_ similar
to the one used in The world will note (it's the same Pd path),
undoubtedly the two have quite a bit to share I guess in terms of
atmosphere and imaginary.
The fact you say it was an experience for me is very flattering :) - in
fact regarding the definition of 'music' or not, I have decided to
address my acousmatic works as sonic experiences and - hopefully - craft
them accordingly. Essentially I am interested in developing the
intention/idea of 'music' to widen its breadth to a 'sonic experience'
which tries to be at the same time 'entertaining' (although the term is
somewhat misleading towards something light) and at the same time
thought-provoking. As a consequence, yes, you wouldn't probably listen
to this as background music (noise? auditory filler?).
Lorenzo.

Very visually inspiring. Conjures up images of robots and space travel.
Maybe a mining colony on the moon or mars.
Would make a good soundtrack for a short animation.

Wow thanks! Knowing it conjures images is very flattering (see also
email to Julien)

I guess so, would be interesting to see what a visual artist would
create starting from this, essentially doing the opposite of what I've
done: starting from the sound and creating the visuals (hint: it _is_
cppyleft... :-)
Ideally I like it when a piece like this manages to be self-sufficient
without _needing_ images but inspiring them.
Ciao,
Lorenzo.

Lovely spacy feel to this. However, I didn't know they allowed recording kit
where I work :)

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

This one sounds like the title, Machine Landscape, and it feels like its
description, a sonic experience. Would be the perfect companion to any
travelling or landscape sequence in a science fiction movie, but a
little less, um, accessible, as standalone music. I like!

Thanks for comments. Indeed others have suggested some visuals to
accompany it.. It is creative commons (hint hint)
Sure it's not your average tonal chill-out 'music' :-) - I guess it's
part of the idea.
Happy to know you enjoyed.
Lorenzo.
