Ventotene Sounding
consists of three sound levels:
soundscape recordings.
Recordings on location in Ventotene
Clarinet and double bass. instrumental recordings
electronic (live) manipulation
these sounds.

Between the "close-ups" - of the instruments - single tones to noisy sounds (like. bow noises, scratching, hitting noises of the double bass, air noises of the clarinet) which are partly recorded very close to the instrument and the "totals" of the atmospheric soundscape recordings are slowly blended but also cut hard.
Sound characteristics like the "horizontal" rhythmic structure and the "vertical" overtone structure are analyzed, partially processed and (live) electronically interwoven.
Atmospheric sounds are transformed into music and vice versa.
