metamórfica by Alfredo Costa Monteiro

Alfredo Costa Monteiro amplified objects, springs, feedback

metamórfica is a studio composition from 2019 using leftover material from another piece, Invisible Light, which was released on the Sublime Retreat label:

Like rocks submitted to the process of lamination in sequences of layers, the piece has been built with a limited number of sounds overlapping in an emptying process:
Some of the sounds were generated by playing and recording; the sounds used as they were recorded (sometimes with slight editing). Other sound materials in the piece were recycled from very old recordings which I reused; reworking and transforming with minimal effects (distortion, pitch, reverb, equalisation). I like to modify old material, which gives a conceptual continuity to my work, allowing infinite possible combinations.
All these sounds were indexed in different groups, according to their density and grain, later using their inherent textural relationships to create a particular sonic narrative.
