INFRAMUNDO. The composition takes the audience on a journey through sub-bass drones and tactile rhythms, using sequencers, samples, pedals, and electromagnetic sensors. Accompanied by deep bass chords, it moves through various sensory experiences, inviting the public into an aesthetic of vibration.

sub_caption#1 Subtitles and captions are lines of dialogue or other text displayed at the bottom of the screen in films, television programs, video games or other visual media. Captions are text in the language of the audio and are designed for anyone unable to hear the audio, they often also contain important sounds that would be unavailable for anyone unable to hear the audio.
Using small blocks where I explore the sense of space, I summon memory to listen to a soundtrack still encrypted. In the intense images of the present we still remember the color of old hollywood movies and we’ll never forget the happy endings.
