About

“Only a long and careful series of experiments, and a continued training of the ear, can render this unfamiliar material approachable and plastic for the coming generation, and for Art”.

In Sketch of a New Esthetic of Music, 1970, the Italian Ferruccio Busoni proposes the use of electricity and other new sound forms as a source of inspiration for a so called “music of the future”. Therefore, electronic music has always been associated with the production of sounds generated by electronic components and instruments since 1960. Today it includes many forms and varieties, ranging from experimental music to dance music.

The popularization of the instruments and computers, allied to the broad and easy reachable information through the internet, enabled the appearance of countless rhythmic structures, giving rise to new styles and sub styles within contemporary electronic music.

SyncLost is a multi-user installation for immersion in the history of electronic music. From a complex timeline, rhythms and sub-rhythms merge to create new sounds.

The project's objective is to create an interface where users can view all the connections between the main styles of electronic music through visual and audible feedback. The choice is individual and leads to a collective consequence in the spatial visualization of information.
