In a world brimming with a rich tapestry of musical endeavors, each woven with threads of diverse compositional practices, all intricately interwoven with the tapestry of technology, we are thrilled to unveil “Sonic Alchemy”. This album seeks to reflect on the enigmatic question that resonates today: “How has technology reshaped the very language of music in the 21st century?”
“Sonic Alchemy” is a canvas featuring 10 artists – from Austria, Brazil, China, and Italy – upon which we paint a vivid reflection of the symbiotic relationship between artistry and technology. Here, we invite you to delve into the complex tapestry of sound, to engage your senses, provoke your thoughts, and inspire your curiosity, as we dive headfirst into the boundless, ever-shifting universe of sound and technology.
