As a continuation of previous work based on the discovery of hidden sounds through luminoacoustic works and works on unconventional recording within the acoustic and electromagnetic field, this work arises from the exploration of unintentional acoustic traces of sound material created by chance or error within an intentional working process. Initially perceived as a mistake or something peripheral, these accidental sounds reveal a hidden complexity and a different character that ultimately fundamentally changes the original idea of the composition. Their unexpected presence becomes a conceptual focal point that takes on a formative influence, encouraging reorientation and the creation of new methods, priorities and strategies of listening.
The composition acts as a dialogue between intention and chance. Accidental sounds, often fragile, transient or masked, introduce alternative paths for structuring time and space, changing temporal reference, articulating space mostly according to the principle of macro and micro perspective in the temporal and spatial domain.
The resulting work foregrounds this dynamic encounter with hidden material. It invites listeners to engage with subtle acoustic layers that usually escape attention, placing them at the center of the auditory field. In doing so, the work reflects on how the discovery of unintentional sound can destabilize conventional modes and open new areas for reflection and listening.
This work is also a personal farewell and the end of a chapter unofficially called "Rozalia - studio for noise and silence". My studio where I have been working for the last 12 years. Lots of beautiful memories and collaborations with many dear friends and artists.
This work has been commissioned and produced by Sonic Acts as part of New Perspectives for Action, a project by Re-Imagine Europe, co-funded by the European Union.
