Nach der Stille
It is a piece of electroacoustic music for eight or four loudspeakers or stereo, based on several layers, moving sound objects – which alternate and create a different spatial perception in the audience surrounded by them. The main theme of the piece is the impression that exists in the modern western world about a war, on the bombing of Syria and for this reason it is made from the reflections of a basic sound. A recording was used as source material, as well as a draft (in Audacity) of a shooting simulation. Based on these two, a polyphony was created not only of sounds, images, but also of...

In creating this piece, great emphasis was placed on the source material of the sound, its structure, regeneration, and evolution. The sonic behaviour of a gunshot in different sound environments and the role played by reverberation were investigated. Although there was no recording of a real shot, the different types of rifles were studied to understand that their constructive differences in terms of the parts they are composed of, and the materials produce different sound effects. The recording that took place in the Atelier Neue Music Bremen is a simulated recording (sound production from the mouth), as it was done for experimental purposes, as well as the sound design in the program Audacity were considered satisfactory enough to form the basis for the creation of new sounds that formed the material for the construction of After the Silence and the creation of a new personal sound bank.
