Live mixing and spatialization by U.S.O. Project

U.S.O. Project, thanks to the collaboration of Electronic Music Foundation, accompanies the listener through a journey among different sound environments, characterized by an objective presence in the form of 'found sounds' and by a subjective element known as electroacoustic composition. The performance takes advantage of acousmatic performance practice called 'spatial diffusion', creating a seamless sound flow between different works from the following internationally renowned artists:

1) ‘End of shift’
Walter Murch
(THX 1138)

2) ‘Adagio 1’
Christian Zanesi
(Le paradoxe de la femme poisson)

3) ‘Beneath the Forest Floor’
Hildegard Westerkamp
(Transformations)

4) ‘Vox 5’
Trevor Wishart
(The Vox Cycle)

5) ‘Vatnajokull’
Chris Watson
(Weather Report)

6) ‘Presque Rien N°2, Ainsi Continue La Nuit Dans Ma Tête Multiple’
Luc Ferrari
(Presque Rien)

7) ‘XEH10013350’

8) ‘Bewegungen nach entfernten Orten’
