A sound work for exhibition along side an ongoing series of photographs by Silvi Glattauer.

"Silvi Glattauer’s Images meet Jaime Sacchero’s soundscapes in the immersive online exhibition, La Puna de Atacama.

Sound acts here to expand on the physical spaces within the photographs whilst tracing emotional narratives of split cultural identity which exist within Silvi’s work, and through her life.
The sound is experiential, conceived to aid in your own viewing of the images.

In the act of capturing the photograph, the photographer captures a series of moments with the lens and then prints these “passings of time” into the non-temporal printed form.
In much the same way short phrases of sound within the score are digitally time stretched; augmented to infinitum.
These techniques are utilised to push moments of audio into the never-ending, the frozen.

These stretched smears of audio lay underscore to a series of field recordings and foley sound. Recordings where captured from places significant to the work such as, Silvi’s home, the site of photographs and the buried freight-train line which runs through it. Foley sounds are layered in with the sound-world to hint at filmic scenes within the work. The foley and field recordings however, only fill in a small amount of the blank narrative space; inviting the viewer into the work, allowing them to draw thematic links as they see fit.

Finally in realising emotional narratives of diaspora, the violin weaves colour through layers of landscape both whistling like the wind and oscillating like human emotions.

Let the sonic landscapes wash over you. let yourself be consumed by the images, trancing their contours as you discover them through the exhibition."
