Mount Fog - Utvalda dagar
"Utvalda dagar" (en. "selected / specimen days") is a sustained ambient / abstract soundscape conjured up via meditative synthesisers and prepared tapes. It is an evolution of a composition originally made for an early morning / late late night set at the Hangar stage of the Saturnalia festival at Macao (Milan) last June. It takes as its starting point the following two observations. No sound has one source. And no composer is one composer.
MiniM Ensemble - Brush
Brush is an electro-acoustic composition for a solo instrumentalist and a computer, which creates a sonic bends texture, different in every performance. You can choose between 4 different versions (alfa, beta, gamma and delta), the musical range to play, the total duration of the piece and the amount of dissonance between the notes. These parameters influence the way in which the score will be generated in terms of macro and micro structure.
Mount Fog (est. 2011) is an Italo-Swedish project committed to photography and sound art. The 8" lathe cut "We Know Nothing" was released last winter on Hustle Productions. The documentary photography project "Flood, Medication Blues", a chronicle of people living near the Po river, was recently shortlisted for an Urbanautica Institute Award. http://www.mountfog.com/
