'City of the Future'



hello,
we just upped logoplasm track to the server ... an untagged anonymous mp3
that goes by the " interiors " title, in the logoplasm dropbox ...
accompanying notes reads :

i grew up in the seventies, perennially fascinated with the concept of
future city, actually holding in my heart visions of shiny silver
skyscrapers and flying cars. since reaching adulthood never delighted me
with the fulfilling of such naive expectations, i felt a bit doubtful about
the way we could approach this project : first things that came up, while we
discussed this, had little to do with our current expectations of a future
city, but surely brought to mind something interesting about our perception
of current ones. we thought that, say, one hundred years ago, nobody in
their right mind would have considered as normal and household the, say,
peculiar noise coming from an inkjet printing, yet today most of the time
this goes by unnoticed.
departing from that, the following step came simple - and we decided to go,
and do something as conceptually straight and direct as an imaginary field
recordings collage of future cities interior architecture. so we sliced and
isolated and proverbially hunted, in the source soundfile that kim posted ,
an array of unthinkable machinery hummings and cycles, perhaps too thin to
catch the listener's ear in the original, or more probably dreamed there
into existence by our deluded perceptions :-)
sliced, isolated, magnified, as if close-miking them, as we always do with
our surroundings in the present, overdubbed and collaged together in a
crackle : the environmental background noise of tomorrow.

thanks for the opportuniy of participation,
and have a nice day,

paolo & laura
