Warscape Sonata is a sound installation that streams sonic information related to the current drug war in Mexico. RSS news channels, microblogging hashtags, and viral videos are used as sources for an electronic registry of the historic moment of militarized Mexico. The information obtained from these sources is manipulated by software to extract sound archives which are then used to create a noise musical structure that places aesthetic emphasis on the media aspect of the war. Warscape Sonata also highlights the way in which Mexico's civilian population experiments with information technologies to confront propaganda, social control and fear. This is an on-site project for the CCRMA's Listening Room: it will stream randomly 3 different playlist from around, above and below to create a 22 channel sonic experience.
The schedule is a major guideline. There is no guarantee events will take place at the announced timeslot.
