Conceived and Composed by G.Mangione
Mirio Cosottini: trumpet and piano

This entire work was realized in my studio utilizing midi files of traditional rhythms from various world regions to create an audio database that would allow me to easily resample. I later used Pro Tools software to process and edit to obtain the results you will hear in these tracks.

In this project, cyclicity and rhythm are particularly revealing as formal elements of tribal music. Inspired by its many forms, I have linked its inherent rituality to the modern world in which the “the new tribal individual” lives and creates within an entirely virtual environment. Each rhythmic pattern constitutes a single composite element, sliced and then immersed within the environment to later intersect with others. Extreme exploitation of technology is the means used by “the new tribal individual” to create excessive environments that lash out, upset, excite and inebriate.
