Entrophony

"Entrophony — fusing 'entropy' with '-phony' (sound) — transforms a hydropower plant's acoustic signature into a meditation on energy dissipation. The project captures the plant as an entropy generator, extracting rhythm and noise from a single field recording through granular synthesis and sampling techniques. "Hovering at the threshold between music and industrial noise, the composition positions both the power plant and the river it harnesses as technologies within an inexorable entropic system—each converting organized energy into increasingly dispersed forms."Section of the river Lech reimagined by Louis Möckel. -------Flow is a creative exploration telling the story of a river through the power of sound. The project is a collaboration between the University of Padova and the University of Würzburg, with support from Cities and Memory. Explore the full project at https://citiesandmemory.com/flow.
