El primer Espacio was produced by Sol Rezza in 2017. This work is part of the album entitled El augujero Negro (the black hole).
Sol says:
I like to tell the stories indirectly through sound, and create environments that produce sensations in the listeners.
This work reflects how human beings perceive the maternal uterus at the same time as our bodies and senses are developing. Our sense of hearing is not only related to the development of audition, but also to our understanding of all tactile sensations.
The uterus is a spatial experience that all human beings share but do not remember. Within it, we experience the rhythm of our mother’s heart and that of her breathing alongside the rhythm of our own heart. This first rhythm, so close in those 9 months of gestation, will shape how we will perceive the outside world and how our own sense of rhythm in life will develop.
My way of working is chaotic. I usually work with layers of sound, in this case transforming soundscape recordings I’d previously recorded.I like to discover rhythms in sounds that seem to have no rhythm, like the sound of traffic. I transform the sounds through oscillators and reverb effects. In this piece, the sound reverberations are designed to create the sensation of spatiality.
Inspiring Sol in the worlds of audio and beyond
Three books were fundamental, Michael Chion's book Sound, various texts by Marcel Ponty and the book The Eyes of the Skin.
My inspiration almost always comes from outside the radio. I look for inspiration in other arts including painting, books, movies, photography.
