Solitary is an auditory experience. It is best experienced with headphones or big speakers!

It comprises clusters of sounds and multi-layered soundscapes. Solitary tells us the story of Solitude; how this civilization declined through time and space by using spectral & gradual composition techniques. This piece is exclusively composed as an abstraction of the story of Solitude to accompany you while experiencing the collection.

To create a bid-sounding spectral soundscape timbres, I stretched the intro of my piece; Woodbots(https://open.spotify.com/track/6OxVIa1o0SUz92DohBiJK6?si=29ee0e0574034c29) by using Paul’s Extreme Sound Stretch. Starting with “tonal” sound clusters and gradually adding harsh layers to express how everything decayed so quickly. A short percussive section enters to amplify the feeling of time passing by and then the destruction begins with the basses and harsh timbers. There are lots of hidden details which can be heard in consecutive listening.

Solitary

Solitude is a study of negative space, contrast and void; made with 6 different particle systems. It's about the loneliness, energy dependency of our species and our interest towards monumental constructions.

In 3541, when Solitude was far from its former glory, the high council was assembling; it's now time to find a new way to live. It has been centuries since our people started to harness the power of the stars, but they used every last bit of power to serve as a mass effort to bring people together and strengthen solidarity. But now just a few remain.. With a shortage of manpower and energy, everything decayed so quickly. Now this isolated civilization is built upon the dying stars and waiting for the eternal void.

It's time for the high council to assemble for one last time to decide what to do next…
