U235 – The Era of technology

Technology drives the world.

Smartphones, tablets, biotechnology, 2.0 robots, artificial limbs, atomic energy, the digital age, God’s particle, the theory of everything… Recent history has shown that those absolute limits, indicated by the forces of tradition, before which the technology must stop, cannot exist.

The idea of development has taken the place of hope, allowing science to gain supremacy with respect to its historical opponent: religion.

U₂₃₅ investigates one of the main themes of the modern era, scientific fundamentalism, and , inspired by the conflict between theology and science, between the sacred and technology, by means of a musical and visual contemporary language, sets sacred music, icon of every place and every time, against electronic music and digital video art.

U₂₃₅ is an art project that delves its roots in the interaction between different creative art forms and fields of knowledge. Science, music, philosophy, video art, soundscapes, film, performance and sociology.

The use of sound samples stolen from tribal rites of the Indians of America or European sacred music, Enrico Fermi TV interviews announcing the birth of the atomic age, or the voice of Zygmund Baumann, who analyzes modern times, are inserted into a creative flow through a sonically dual point of view, concrete and abstract , made up of voices and glitch, of ancestral and contemporary melodies , tribal and asymmetrical and jagged rhythms, creates paradoxes and innovative sound conflicts.

The musical forms range from pure electronic to improvised music, from contemporary music to the soft and rhythmically enveloping sounds of the Berlin scene .

The instrumental sets are mixed: acoustic instruments utilized through signal processors and electronic effects, and electronic instrumentation.
