Twenty eight - IFAR Musique Concrète Formes dans l’espace compilation

Twenty eight a 4'33'' piece is part of the IFAR Musique Concrète Formes dans l’espace compilation

This work with a duration of 4`33`` was produced using sounds recorded inside an outside of the number 28 streetcar which circulates in Lisbon Portugal. It is a very old streetcar that crosses most of the city and is a tourist attraction.

The sounds were recorded inside the streetcar to capture the passenger noises with omnidirectional microphones and on the outside to capture the motor, rail and break noises using a short shotgun microphone.

 All sound were recorded in mono and mixed to stereo. I tried to alter as little as possible the sounds,  relying mostly on editing.

 The sounds used in the work suffered the following processes, reversing of sound, sampling of small portions, repetition and panning.

"Fuzz" is part of the Wave Farm Short Waves / Long Distance Repository

"Fuzz" is now part of the Wavefarm Repository which is comprised of a selection of works submitted to "Short Waves / Long Distance," an open call for composition exploring the sonics of the shortwave radio spectrum (2-30 mHz), and the experience of long distance listening.

Organized by Wave Farm and The North American Shortwave Association, the call was announced in conjunction with the 30th Anniversary of the Winter Shortwave Listener’s Fest and Wave Farm’s 20th Anniversary, both of which are celebrated in 2017.
