Aurality -20°10’45.3176” -044°04’01.4329” is the ambient counterpart to Aurality: Earth Loop, still at the crossroad between harmonic space, experimental electronics and field recordings. It elaborates on The Eternal Music Machine compositions through the lens of a variety of audio processing techniques, in particular Time Lag Accumulation, a tape looping technique developed by Terry Riley and Pauline Oliveros in their late 1960s performances. Like an array of sonic encounters, it floats and wavers above the pliable junction of experimental electronics and field recording research.

For the visuals, distortion and lo fi retro quality play a key part in the compositing performance. The images are processed with analogue video synthesizers from unedited images from Nature recorded in Croatia by Monaí de Paula Antunes and Silvia Noronha. Oceans, Forests and the Sunlight are the main source of our inspiration.

Niko de Paula Lefort works as a musical instrument developer, field recordist, radio transmission and installation artist. Also known as NikoLFO, he is a resident host on Archipel Stations Community Radio and a co-founder of the record label Portals Editions.

Laura Fong Prosper is a video artist, VJ and filmmaker. She explores the boundaries between analogue and digital audiovisual material. Using different process-oriented techniques, she moderates a dialogue with media, time and stories. While working with archival material, old photographs and analogue video synthesizers she conducts her own research as " found footage recycler".

Aurality -20°10'45.3176" -044°04'01.4329" is their second collaboration together.
