Balance

(This is not just about still images, it's about sound and processes)

Balance was born from the Genuary 2023 event and the FxHash proposal to mint one "prompt" of your choice.
The chosen one was the "Generative music" prompt as an excuse to be able to explore a little the sound world that I have abandoned many years ago.

Balance is an experimental generative and interactive work that has a process of almost 3 minutes that is repeated indefinitely. The work explores the sound as matter in relation to the visual, in search of a balance in terms of sensations. As we already know, the visual has an immediate impact, while the sound, we need to dedicate more time to it. At an interactive level, you can control some actions that can enrich or ruin :) the process.

The sound is strongly influenced by composers who use granular synthesis, such as Curtis Roads. The visual parallel is represented by movement and the use of glitch aesthetics.

Balance nace a partir del evento Genuary 2023 y la propuesta de FxHash de mintear un "prompt" a elección.
El elegido fue el prompt "Generative music" como excusa poder explorar un poco el mundo sonoro que tengo abandonado hace muchos años.

Balance es un trabajo experimental generativo e interactivo que tiene un proceso de casi 3 minutos que se vuelve a repetir indefinidamente. El trabajo explora el sonido como materia en relación a lo visual, en busca de un balance en terminos de sensaciones. Como ya sabemos, lo visual tiene un impacto inmedito, en cambio lo sonoro, necesitamos dedicarle más tiempo. A nivel interactivo, se pueden controlar algunas acciones que pueden enriquezer o arruinar :) el proceso.

Lo sonoro está fuertemente influnciado por los compositores que utilizan la sintesis granular como Curtis Roads. El paralelo visual está representado por el movimiento y luego la utilización de la estética glitch.
