The unique soundscape of “L’Oscuro Oceano dello Spazio Infinito” has been composed considering the sound generated by the movement, the rhythm, the sound, and the play of light on the water of the Marischal College’s fountain. Using delayed and reverberated tinkling glass sounds, random electronic sound patterns, deep and dark slowly evolving atmospheres, and enigmatic choir drones, we imagined how the deep space would sound like, and, by the alchemic motto “as above so below”, we explored how the sound of the “above” would merge and play with the sound of the “below”, here symbolised by the water games of the fountain.

This concept was generated from our reasoning around the originating substances of matter. Having a Mediterranean and classical culture, our mind went immediately to Greek mythology in which Oceanus and Tethys were the primaeval parents of the gods, and so the origins of all things, and the upper and lower waters which were then separated to create the heaven and the earth, also paralleling the story of Apsu and Tiamat in the Babylonian cosmogony. Also, Thales, the ancient Greek philosopher, arrived at the same conclusion by the use of reasoning, observing how ‘that the nurture of all creatures is moist, and that warmth itself is generated from moisture and lives by it; and that from which all things come to be is their first principle’.
