This title is a composition of electronic-concrete music, realized in
1976. Many sounds are recorded outside with a portable tape deck and a
Sennheiser stereo microphone MKE 2002 and then the sounds are elaborated
with the concrete music traditional techniques.
Scorrevole 3 e Fluttuazioni
The artist mingles electronics with percussive and environmental sounds to
create Zen-like moods.
Usually there are only one or two things going on at a time, generating a
pastoral, relaxed state, but the electronics and/or percussion may briefly
surprise or raise a clamor. Imagine sitting by a lake in the Rockies in
spring while watching the movie Tron on your portable TV, with your
Tibetan monk who likes the sound of reverberant bass drums, bells, and
thumb pianos.
Luckily, Sinigaglia organizes the sounds in way not too disjointed to form
a mildly dramatic trance experience. The experiences are intensified by
the superb recording so that the storm, ducks, water, etc. are very vivid.
