Seascape (Fausto Romitelli)
Flux, reflux; inspiration, expiration: the regular articulation of the tide, or of the breath, defines a distant, timeless sonoric landscape which is progressively subjected to a process of distortion, contraction, asymmetrisation and fragmentation up to the point that it explodes into different registers, from the extremely low to the extremely high. Exploiting the different extinction times of the sound in the extreme registers of the instrument I have sought to produce the illusion of superimposition and simultaneity. Seascape involves the use of amplification and reverberation but not of any electronic treatment of the sound.
