Important Note
Aether is a piece based on sounds made by electromagnetic waves radiating all around us, all the time. Waves, the source of which is radio radiation, cell phones, wifi network, computers, transformers, electronic devices or even microwave. It surrounds us constantly, there is no escape. We don't perceive this radiation, but imagine what would happen if we could hear it. However, it can be recorded and turned into sound. I used Soma Ether device to do this, walking through the streets of Warsaw, shopping malls, office, subway etc, and listening to the electromagnetic landscape of my living area. Theses recording are then used in electronics, together with live transformations of instrumental sounds. The piece is written for Hashtag Ensemble.
