Cascadas

Cascadas is an audiovisual piece created by Berenice Llorens (music) and Jimena Aldana (visuals). Nature and improvisation are the root of the work. Floating melodies immersed in a free pulse that are supported by sound cushions generated by the different sounds and noises that imitate the auditory pollution generated by the current context. The music emerges from a sound research process where some tools from Pauline Oliveros’ Deep Listening practice are used, and is composed with processed electric guitar and an analogue synthesizer. Jimena Aldana’s visual work is composed of manual and digital collages that capture from the sound search, the natural landscapes in balance and/or imbalance of the different more robotic climates. In this way she finds a non-human protagonist that in its different scenarios and contexts transforms and reconstructs itself.
