SETI
was composed by Emanuel Dimas de Melo Pimenta in 2002. All sounds
in SETI are exclusively extraterrestrial, that is, sounds captured
from the sidereal space by astronomical observatories and satellites.
With those sounds a virtual score of music was created. The music
score is made with several layers defining interlaced fields
of sounds. The music is the dynamic path through sound fields
complex. Its logic is no longer predicative. Metamorphosis. It
is a slow deep dive inside a space that is also extraterrestrial
- because it is virtual, out of space. SETI is dedicated to the
Swiss Peruvian artist Francesco Mariotti. To enter inside this
spacetime complex it is necessary to be out from the rules established
by daily life. Out of our world. Free time, free thought.
The
performance in 2008 at Björn Ressle's
Gallery,
in New York City also counts with the creative collaboration
of Mark Wiener and Marcia Grostein. Not only the music, the performance
includes the projection of a film by Emanuel Pimenta, based on
images captured by NASA in the frontiers of the known Universe.
