Sediment-1: The first iteration of this collaboration between Alfredo Costa Monteiro and Arnau Sala Saez, is a game that starts from the mechanical and acoustic characteristics of the loudspeaker as an instrument, as well as its situation in space. Sediment-1 is an improvisational exercise based on the manipulation of each device, altering live the characteristics of the composition and the original sources, thus affecting its listening situation and perception.
