I'm working on a sound installation, maybe a live performance, which is called Warp: escatological cage.  This project is for my visual art university class at IUAV in Venice. The main theme of the class is time, in detail: uncommon and non-linear experience of time.

My work is a kind of research on a new way to represent time's flow, alternative to the usual linear-spatial timeline and to give the viewer a new experience of time.  So I worked with a friend from hacienda sonora to produce some sounds that could be played togheter to express that concept. Slowing down and accelerating a clock-like sound, and mixing it with other, is the way i choose to work on this theme.

The sound installation will have a kind of spiral shape with a clock-like loop that will make a cicle added to other sounds. Every cicle has different sound mixes, that makes the spiral concept. At around 75% of cicle length, all the sound will be covered by a big bass sound (around 63 Hz) that will be perceived more by vibration than by sound. That will create a sort of suspension of the time (that can be related with variuos concept: end of sound-->end of time-->end of everything. escatology!).
