Fábrica is a composition based on machine noises and sound atmospheres from factories, which I found on recordings in the archive of a studio for radio dramas. My primary goal was to make a compositional connection between the original sound atmospheres and the new virtual sounds and atmospheres I derived from them. During the realisation I used only cutting and collage techniques. This resulted in changing the original material so that the new compositionally useful structures I developed would have the original sound atmosphere but completely different characters and courses of development.
