Un-ornamented and brutalist computer-generated sonic entities which try to replace the loudspeaker in listener’s perception makin them emerge from the virtuality onwards. The lack of ornamentation is sometimes altered in the macrostructural level of the form, consequently, allowing to observe both levels of these immateial presences, each single element, and the whole object through perspective variations.
They are slightly familiar but at the same time they remain uncanny: uncanniness makes it difficult for the listener to fully access an object's origin, and this helps the object to acquire some kind of state of ‘hyper realness’ challenging their causality for the perception. Due to these uncanniness, the listener is not able to exhaust their sonic characteristics as they appear ‘post-digitally physical’, allowing it in the end to remain ‘other’ or ‘xeno’.
