LOUDNESS WAR
A duel between the noise of the airplane transformed in real time in a techno
music track and the natural noise of the same engine create a situation in which they try to exceede each other.
The sampling of the noise slowly becomes an aggressive tecno sountrack that overcomes the airplane, which defends itself by means of an increase in power.
The performance focuses on the famous "loudness war" fought by the record companies that compete with each other by compressing sound while neglecting
its dynamic range.
