We will need more water tanks - Aleatoric Composition
The piece called “We will need more water tanks” is related to the climate change phenomena.
I decided to work with the water level of Lake Garda, which in 2023 due to a severe drought, reached historical minimum levels.
In my research, I wanted to relate the samples (which I classified as “wey” and “dry”) I took from the areas of the lake with the graphical data of the water level of Lake Garda for the year 2023 (which you can see below)
The composition is divided into sections of approximately 30 seconds each, where each section corresponds to a month of the year 2023. For each section/month I chose to have 8 samples, but they change from month to month depending on the water level.
I corresponded the use of 8 wet samples with a maximum value of 128 cm.
Then I corresponded 8 dry samples to a minimum value of 42 cm.
For the values in the middle, I used a direct proportionality between the values of the lake and the combinations of dry and wet samples that I could obtain, while always maintaining 8 samples, so that for each step of 9.5 cm of the lake corresponds to the addition of a wet sample and the removal of a dry sample (see Table below).
The result is a composition lasting about 6 minutes which alternates dry and wet treated samples , and which aims to be representative of the changes that this water surface is suffering due to man's action
