Domenico De Simone – FOLIAGE
Sunday, 13 September⋅9:00 – 10:00am
This morning at 9am – Domenico De Simone presents ‘FOLIAGE’ – an exploration of the evolving relationship between nature and technology.
Starting from field recordings at a lakeside, familiar sounds of water, wind, and rustling leaves gradually transform, intertwining with subtle digital textures. The composition blurs the line between the organic and artificial, inviting listeners to experience a future acoustic environment where natural and synthetic elements coexist. Layers of sound shift between serenity and disruption, encouraging reflection on the fragility and resilience of ecosystems. By presenting familiar sounds in unexpected forms, FOLIAGE turns listening into an act of awareness, highlighting the delicate balance between preservation and transformation in the auditory world. Designed for radio transmission, the piece emphasizes immersive spatial experience within a stereo field, allowing the listener to perceive the unfolding soundscape as a living, evolving environment.
