[1h20’00”] Created at ‘mobile messor’ (worldwide), 2014-2015.
• A composition between sound piece and sonic environment.
• Generated by means of the ‘Low-resolution High Definition Lopezsonics’®system (LHDL) [at 16kbps / 16-bit].
• This 80-minute piece comes in an audio file of 9.6 MB (yes, Megabytes). This is a size rate nearly 100 times smaller than a prototypical CD-standard or .wav file audio “quality” (44 kHz / 16-bit).
• Crucially, however, this is not a compressed version of any original file but rather the actual file-piece as it has been conceived and created. All sonic artifacts have been deliberately generated, selected and maintained for aesthetic reasons.
• Play at maximum volume. Unlike the tedious customary traditional recommendation, this is not a loud piece but rather a very subtle one, where the essential sonic details will only be audible –and audible in the right way- at maximum volume (no loud surprises or irresponsible tricks). [This apparent paradox is explained by intentional subsonics, which actually produce a file-piece with strong amplitude levels (easily seen in the waveform or volume indicators, for those interested) that make impossible an undistorted increase in perceptible volume in the file itself.]
• Please use decent headphones or speakers. Typical laptop or handheld- device speakers will render completely inaudible sound (thus generating even more tedious reactions of the head-scratching kind, like “there’s no sound”, “it’s a conceptual silent work”, and crap like that).
• This piece comes with no artwork.
• Conceived to be easily distributed, in a direct personal way, as a simple email attachment (below the current size standard of 10 MB maximum), without even the need of a classic website-based download. Feel free to re-distribute and disseminate.
