Once one forgets to think of music as a hierarchy of melodic intervals, the dramatic
impact of the sounds reveal itself. And because of the simple fact that I can read
nor write notes, or even play a 'real' instrument, this is the way I perceive sound and music.
AeroSon deals with our ever-changing audio environment. Once the sounds of water and
simple customs of our fellow tribe members were comforting and well known to us.
Nowadays modern telecommunications and industrial noise guide us through a hectic urban
environment. Sounds of generators, elevators, computer disk drives and engines provide
a constant hum, or on second view: an aerial symphony. One could toy with the question
if and how the sounds of cellular phones and TV-commercials replace crickets and forest noise.
In AeroSon I tried to combine natural elements with their artificial counterparts.
I also experimented with recreating atmospheres that have long been gone or have never
even existed by combining acoustic realities with electronic lookalikes.
AeroSon is a piece about the relationship between man and the technology he surrounds himself with.
