Alongside the presentation of the Metamorfosi dubplate is showcased, in Gisela Capitain's gallery on Albertusstrasse, a soundscape made by Michele Ferrari for Villa Lontana Records composed by using extracts taken from the audio files sent by the artists for the making of the dubplate, alongside field and electromagnetic recordings collected in Gisela Capitain’s gallery spaces in Cologne and Rome.
Electromagnetism is the interaction among all electrically charged objects, objects with magnetic moments, and the electromagnetic field. The field itself does not carry electric charge but it does carry energy and momentum. The electromagnetic interaction is one of the four fundamental interactions of the universe. This interaction encompasses all physical phenomena related to electricity, magnetism, electromagnetic fields, light, and atoms. The two ‘levels’ of sonority present in the Metamorfosi soundscape are symbolically or physically interconnected.
