COMPOST MUSIC #1
Compost Music is a sound recycling project that collects data waste in order to transform it into a new physical and audible experience. It is a cosmic junkyard to store and restore lost sound data that had been swallowed by the deep throat of cloud computing. A soundtrack to a movie that was never finished, old voice messages, anonymous sound samples, a holiday field recording, or a break-up song: Every single piece of data receives care and special attention on the junkyard.
The digital material will be recycled on an analog cassette and collected and curated as a V/A Compilation.
Once a month Compost Music sends out an open call to artists and non-artists to look out for spilled soundwaves inside the endless ocean of data waste. For the first edition of Compost Music, the collaborators of the planet Orsimanirana have taken the time out to dig into the depths of their personal storage media and comoputers to declutter and donate a number of mesmerizing and mad sounds that bring together an extraordinary composition of disarrangements and happy circumstances.
