Multi-channel audio work encoded for 47 channel The Morning Line Sound System


Entrapment starts with the wind. With an imitation of natural ventilation passing through the TML, the composition focuses on the physical aspects of the sculpture, letting the ornaments fissures breaking the wind. The six rooms of the sculpture are acoustically held together, becoming the resonance chambers of a coherent, open sound architecture.
The ventilation is slowly intensifying, turning into drone sequences, high-tone structures, and modulating tone sequences. The quiet part of Entrapment explores an ambivalent sound territory, where the composition and the noise pollution of the nearby street come together. Entrapment ends with double base, commented by external voices in a transition from analog modular synthesizers to natural double base tones.
