“The Inner of Matter“ is the first electroacoustic composition of a series of timbrescapes that respond to the hybrid possibilities between the creation of a timbral experience and the interaction with a particular soundscape; in this case, the Künstlerdorf. Here, the soundscape was recorded and electronically processed. Objects of diverse materials were collected to create a set for some improvisation sessions, which were recorded and processed as well, thus the compositional process focused on the timbral creation of an hybrid experience between the acoustic and the electronic entities. The inner in this work is approached as a scrutiny of the inside of each source. The search for the internal content and structure of matter in each object. Scraping, cutting, digging or extracting, I attempted to capture their uniqueness, expanding or even disrupting their nature.
