A piece by Durán Vázquez for the RadiaLX radio festival in 2008.
With this piece, conceived for radio, I wanted to work on three of my main influences: cinema, electroacoustic music and politics.
Playing with the several meanings of terror I set up a sound travel that imitates the movie pictures montage with one aim in mind: to introduce the audience into a shocking experience that puts together all those possible meanings of terror. Indeed it seems the times of changes we live in are like a terror movie… well, these are my feelings.
I took original sounds from movies and also from original music by me, including my previous piece “Asturias, patria querida†in which I worked on March 11th 2004 sounds taken from different Spanish radio stations, the day of the trains megablast in Madrid.
I selected the movies Zeitgeist by Peter Joseph (2007), Imprint by Takashi Miike (2006), Le Monde Selon Bush by William Karel (2004), Hellraiser by Clive Barker (1987) and Rosemary’s Baby by Roman Polanski (1968). With these sources and my own stuff I set up a montage full of stereotyped but disturbing sounds, all organized into the sequencer software. The cut & paste process is the main tool in this work.
