    paper Fungal Networks: An Immersive Electronic Score

    Composed for selected extracts of Fantastic Fungi (2019), this electronic piece explores the growth and communication of mycorrhizal networks. Using surround-sound spatialisation, live and electronic sounds, and inspirations from Varese, Stockhausen, and experimental techniques, the score creates an immersive auditory experience that mirrors the multiplicity and connectivity of fungal ecosystems. The music translates ecological processes into an artistic sonic representation, enhancing audience engagement with the documentary’s visual narrative. #video #videoeditor #electoronic composition
