In the tradition, surely inaugurated by Alvin Lucier, of making audible with the help of technological processes natural acoustic phenomena usually unnoticed into an ordinary ear is a whole school of electronic music and sound art where nature reveals a new and unknown, so far of the use of technology as an innovation in itself, and where sometimes, as in the work of Fernando Casas, promotes an ethic of observation and not intervention; a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153natural listening,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d either to detect sound through the traces of time and space, or to reveal aspects of reality that otherwise would be inaccessible to us.<\/p>\n
In correspondence to the exhibition of Fernando Casas the now was, the before will be, CGAC own production, thus consist in a selection of works by artists of different generations, in order to illustrate the path of an essential theme \u00e2\u20ac\u201cthe nature\u00e2\u20ac\u201c from disparate approaches as the spatial acoustics, the sound ecology, the phonograph, and a current boom in different scientific fields, such as data sonification.<\/p>\n
