Tumulto III by River of Electrons

A soundtrack to accompany the installation Jonas / Tumulto III by the Brazilian artist Wagner Barja in 2015.

The installation consisted of 20 artificial, life-size whale vertebra. Each with an embedded screen showing a computer animation of the surface of the deep ocean.

The soundtrack consisted of recordings of whale and dolphin song and breaking waves, mixed with my "MansionHouse" synthesizers (that were made in Pure Data) and fragments of a previous soundtrack for a ballet based on Debussy's La Mer, which in turn used fragments of recordings of La Mer. The recording were treated with various effects in FL Studio.

River of Electrons is an identity of artist / musician Phil Jones (AKA Mentufacturer https://mentufacturer.bandcamp.com/ ), focused on explorations of specific textures and techniques : from raw electronics to beeps of vintage computers to assemblages of small synths & home-made devices.
