Nanetora (Per Boysen & Costas Andreou, 2008)

Nanetora is the first fruit of a long distance collaboration between Per Boysen (Sweden) and Costas Andreou (Greece). Defying the physical distance, the duo's music has its space and time delimited by human interaction in a dynamic musical meeting. Filters become notes and notes become filters, as two brushes drip colors over a 3D canvas.

The vibrating strings, the bow atmospherics, the tonal clusters, the sensitive groove, all become ingredients for human-to-digital sound fields. A gentle machine, fed with harmonics, melts down sound loops to space radio emissions.

Nanetora invites you to a compositional work that walks hand in hand with improvisation and performance. Everything is live, from the guitar clouds that gather over the northern sky, to the train that never sleeps - the magnetic tape.

Tones and textures owe their sea-like dynamics to real-time processing. The final output is a direct result of live electronics. The physical control of music technology transforms circuits into instruments - and instruments into mechanical modulators.
