Title: ASYNCH

ASYNCH

Compositions

ASYNCH is a live performance that combines foley and sampling, field recording and audio morphing. Based on the ideas of sonic fiction, it is an acousmatic experience of a film that has not been done – and if it were, it would be asynchronous. It’s a confusion where one sound might sound like another, a sound as-if, a magnified detail and everything that shakes (crumbles into dust).

ASYNCH is also the return of a promise, a function that retrieves a value and resolves it. It’s a hold back.

The performance is a release of Pinheiro’s first attempt to make an EP. It consists of 6 individual pieces organised (and failing) as the format of a (foley) song. It invites critical listening and ear cleaning.

Coming soon at PAF 2024.

Sound Design

2023 – 20′ – CZ

a film by Tomáš Rampula.

The experimental film Time Metallurgist works with found footage materials (photographs, excerpts from newspapers, letters) from the life of Eadweard Muybridge, attempting to reconstruct what happened in the second half of the 19th century in California. It describes the influence of these events on our present. It uses artificial intelligence to process all this material.
