WITH TWO NAKED EYES WATCHING SLIME ON THE OCEAN FLOOR is a video work of Valentina Pini for which I created the soundtrack.
Scored Synthesizer
With two naked eyes watching slime on the ocean floor (2019) as well as the soundtracks for Snake Oil (2019) Water into Wine (2020) and Bosque Marino (2021) are resorting to a self-built computer program written in Max/MSP, the Bach Library and its text-code based scripting language called Bell. It is a complex instrument bringing together algorithmic procedures with a notation and representation space. Each note has its individual dataset, but each dataset can be either a specific definition of the individual sound parameters or serve as a set for a following algorithm that will produce the final parameters. I wrote the first version of the program during my residency in Berlin (January-June 2019). It has since then continuously evolved on other projects. For a more detailed explanation of the instrument have a look at the dedicated webpage.
