Sharpened gloss is the third act of the project XOVER.
The performance encompasses monolithic and generative rythm, glitches, drones, noises and field recordings. Xover is a research path between digital and analogue sounds, between programming and circuit bending, concrete and abstract sound objects. Structures are deconstructed to disrupt time perception and audio spaces, everything overlapped by generative visual textures.
