INFERNAL MOSQUITOES / THAT WONDERFUL NOISE tries to challenge the boundaries between acoustic and digitally generated sounds, looking for that zone where electronic manipulations and acoustic sounds merge seamlessly in the continuum of the sonic gesture. The acoustic instrument is bended, modified, hacked with the aid of contact microphones, actuators, pickups and strings attached to its body, resulting in a sort of hybrid device in between a reed instrument, an electric guitar, a percussion and a controller. The result is a concrete, dense sonic matter, where all the nuances of the human-instrument system (breath, metal, skin, water) are amplified and gain a new kind of presence in a pulsating and ever-changing scenario.
