Description

Recording of Alessandro Cipriani's Al Nur (La Luce). All the sound material in the piece comes from recording and processing sounds from an Islamic chant titled 'Al Nur', played with Persian percussion and Nej flute. Therefore, all basic material comes from oral tradition and electroacoustic means. The idea is that of creating a new electroacoustic, virtual, ritual space for religious chant. This space is created by processing the same sounds and reintegrating them into the new sound-space.
