Post-Digital Sonic Media Art: Composing Systems of Resistance through Sound
Post-Digital Sonic Media Art: Composing Systems of Resistance through Sound
Hugo Paquete's "Rhythms of the Subatomic Landscapes" Selected for Irradia Festival 2025
The acousmatic composition Rhythms of the Subatomic Landscapes has been selected for presentation at the Irradia Festival 2025, an international event dedicated to contemporary sound and radio art. The festival will take place from October 16 to 19, 2025, with broadcasts on Universitária FM 107.9 (Fortaleza) and Universitária FM 104.7 (Vitória), alongside online streaming.
The work plunges the listener into a sonic world where rhythm behaves not as a regular pulse, but as a dynamic, unpredictable weather system. Developed through algorithmic processes and granular synthesis at Absonus Lab, the piece constructs immersive environments where percussive elements flicker, swarm, and decay. Drawing from a post-techno sensibility, it explores the co-composition with unstable systems, offering a listening experience that interrogates time, perception, and the inherent politics of how we organize sound.
This selection places the piece among a inspiring gathering of international artists, reaffirming a commitment to research-creation that explores the frontiers of sonic materiality and critical listening.
