Informed by reflections about consumption of technology: built-in obsolescence of the technological goods, the saturation of the market of apps and their specificity; This piece brings musical reflection on those subjects through analogies with sound objects, conceived as minute sound structures with particular spectral qualities and gestural features that interact in the local level. The principle of accumulation rules the assembly logic of these objects. The sounds become links of different chains that overlap, generating accumulations of variable densities. The sound information given by each sound objects to the audience loses its individual meaning and it will become part of a mass, competing with with other objects for the attention of the spectator.

It is a look stripped of nostalgia that exposes the cult to the ephemeral, the codes of entertainment and the fragmented and synthetic interpretation of the history of music. Through different simplistic labels, the “eighties” sound of a drum is linked to a synthesiser chord, followed by a distorted guitar troggering reminiscences of different sub-genres. Sequences of references forming a dense and colourful texture. Through a dysfunctional mechanism, the piece underlines the characteristics of accumulation and the delightful vertigo proposed by the entertainment industry.
