Il Proiettore di Suoni (The Sound Projector) – ambient music in high fidelity
THE BODY AND SOUL OF SOUND
The Soul is Music, the Body is the sound that carries it.
A fundamental distinction must be made between musical information and sound.
Take The Sound of Silence as an example, in the acoustic guitar interpretation by Pat Metheny: an extraordinary performance, preserved in a quality recording.
Music is the information, the composition, what the musician created and interpreted. But how we perceive it also depends on the sound that reproduces it.
Listening to this interpretation through the small speaker of a smartphone gives a different experience from listening through a Hi-Fi audio chain, capable of delivering greater extension, dynamics, detail and spatial depth.
It is the audio chain, together with the quality of the recording and of the source, that gives body to music and transforms it into a sound experience.
That is why the Sound Projector uses only FLAC and WAV audio files. FLAC preserves all the recording’s data through lossless compression; WAV can host uncompressed audio. No MP3.
FROM TRACKS TO PROJECTED SOUNDS
The Sound Projector goes beyond the traditional idea of a playlist: no longer a predetermined sequence of musical tracks, but Sounds projected into space.
It is no longer only a matter of listening to music, but of living a sonic atmosphere.
Each composition becomes one element among infinite possible elements. Through their succession, the intervals of silence and the continuous variation of what is heard, Musically Composed Environments take shape: soundscapes inspired by the philosophy of Brian Eno’s Ambient Music and by Murray Schafer’s research on the Soundscape.
Brushstrokes of sonic colour. A garden of sounds that breathes and transforms.
IL PROIETTORE DI SUONI (THE SOUND PROJECTOR)
After years of sound research and several attempts developed over forty years, the project The Sound Garden finds in the Sound Projector the realisation of an instrument dedicated to composing and sounding spaces.
A player designed to sound Art Spaces and domestic environments through ever-evolving musical landscapes.
AUDIO QUALITY
All audio files are hosted in FLAC and WAV format. FLAC guarantees lossless compression, while WAV allows uncompressed recordings to be used.
No compromise in the choice of formats: sound is the body that carries the musical soul.
EVOLVED SHUFFLE
Each sound is played again only after all the other sounds in the environment have been heard.
The system generates ever-different sequences, avoiding the cyclical repetition of traditional playlists. Each listening becomes a sonic journey in constant evolution.
Several musical environments can be combined: the system treats them as a single sound collection, applying the same compositional logic to all.
SILENCE PAUSE
Silence becomes an integral part of the composition.
Intervals of silence can be inserted between one sound and the next, choosing from 4, 8, 16, 32, 60 and 80 seconds. Pauses can also be customised for each individual environment.
Silence stretches time, creates breath and separates the sonic brushstrokes, leaving the space time to welcome each composition.
GRAPHICS AND FUNCTIONALITY
The graphic language recalls an amplifier, reinterpreting its aesthetics in a digital instrument.
Hi-Fi setting controls, three-band equaliser (bass, mid and treble), stereo panorama adjustment and Loudness function.
Functionality and beauty in dialogue.
Every listening is a unique experience: a sonic journey that never repeats itself in the same way.
