Music for Control Panels – Mexico
Music for Control Panels is an audiovisual exploration inspired by the aesthetics of machines and control rooms. In the tradition of electronic ambient music, sporadic acoustic events and drones guide the viewer through a contemplative journey. The visual component features a generative graphic score echoing projections of computer terminals, printers, and fax machines. The overall composition pays homage to the early computer systems using contemporary techniques.
