Capturas del Único Camino, Damián Anache's first solo album, reveals a recording of a generative piece performed using an algorithm created by himself. The designed software (developed on Pure Data language) manipulates different kinds on sonic materials consisting of: acoustic instruments (played by the composer); sounds generated by his mouth and vocal tract (also by the same composer); sounds created by synthesis techniques; and other recordings of sounds generated by water. This interpretation algorithm involves a list of directions and actions subjected by random choices according to a model proposed for the piece's first section score (printed score included in physical editions). Furthermore, be noted that although the piece is presented as a CD Audio, the same piece is developed in other formats such as audiovisual installation.[1]
The piece was created using Ambisonics, the surround sound technique. CD version is UHJ encoded for stereo compatibility, as well as the digital release which is also available for download at 48 kHz 24 bit. B-format version was announced to be released "soon" on composer's instagram account.[2]
Composition, image generation and packaging concept by Damian Anache. Realization of packaging and design by Emmanuel Orezzo. Executive Producer: Nicolas Madoery.co-executive-producer: Nicolás Varchausky. This publication was supported by the research project "Spatial sound synthesis in electroacoustic music", directed by Oscar Pablo Di Liscia, National University of Quilmes 2013-2015.[3]
The album has Europe and North American (TBA) reissues. Both offers different generative versions of the piece.
