Fourth call for composers and multimedia artists. Musinfo: Festival Francia Art & Science Days

Our collective interests rely mainly in creating experiences through sound, we like to assimilate this project as an open source of sound for everyone to explore, to imagine new atmospheres, create connections through sound imaginari. In this work the piece was created by Pablo Rubio Vargas, Hector Pérez Villanueva and Alberto Navarro Garza. Working at a distance from Monterrey, Aguascalientes and Queretaro in Mexico, and California, U.S., their activities range from: composition, architecture, multimedia and sound art.

Sierra Norte

Sound composition regarding natural and anthropogenic soundscapes located in continental orographic formations in northern Mexico. The sonic materials displayed are different field recordings, as well as a recording from traditional Mexican music from Oaxaca state. Field recordings were primarily focused in Bird migration. Title “Sierra Norte” (North Mountain), regarding the Sierra Madre Oriental that serve as step and shelter to around 1060 species of migratory birds, a unique phenomenon located between neartic and neotropical biogeographical zones. The artistic intention is to mutate the soundscape and traditional music. The sonic transformations are developed by performing different timbral and granular modifications along with spatial shifts. The transformation will encode the space reflection of each field recording. 4 sections for the soundscape: antropogenia, urban natural reserve, ejidal community, natura. We use bio-acoustic material transformed through digital media process.
