`POSSIBLE FORMS is not a double-CD album, but it´s an audio-set composed by two CDs planned to be played simultaneously. It includes sixteen electronic compositions of identical length [5´20"] for a total time of 42´42" for each CD. This work is conceived in order that every track of each record could play as second layer on every track of the other one. For this reason, the tracks hasn’t neither title nor a pre-arranged sequential order.
Macrostructure: the Black CD includes eight tracks with metrical-tonal elements, while the White CD contains eight tracks of only noise drones. Both CDs have the same peak level [0dB], so the listener can choose the respective volume of each of the two CDs. These recordings contain ultra and sub sonic frequencies; for this reason the author advices the listener not to play the CDs at high volume.
Microstructure: all the tracks are obtained from a special combination of forty different audio fragments, previously selected and extracted from various digital sources. The minimal form of the entire work was specifically created to facilitate the listening in combined modality, establishing this way a precise relationship between sign and function.
Vertical audio system: using two CD players [or CD-ROM/DVD players] in Random / Shuffle and Repeat modes, both players have to be started simultaneously. So, the two records can be played together ad libitum, generating sounds and sequences in continuous movement.
POSSIBLE FORMS uses sound strategies based on the calculation of auditive times and spaces in order to create a different kind of audio-logic design. In this sense this work can be intended as a device able of expanding the ordinary possibilities of domestic listening and it can be presented in the form of audio installation.´
Composed 2001-2002. Originally released in 2002 on CDrs, limited to 100 copies. Re-worked 2004-2005.
