eerie_ear/Sebastian Pappalardo is a sound designer and digital artist. His multimedia project eerie_ear explores audio visual generative art, using live coded interactivity to create sound and pixel synthesis, audio signal and sample processing through a prism of multiplicity, feedback, geometry, glitch-art and noise manipulation. Motivated to contribute to the creation of a more holistic approach in the arts and technology landscape, he focuses his music and video production process on the concept of “systems of growth”. In a passionate and mindful conversation with generative algorithms, his art evolves in haphazard rhythms and intervals, inspired by timbres and tensions present in abstract art, contemporary composition and cinematic sound design. He produces challenging and intricate acousmatic sonorities, some such experiments combine granular synthesis tidalcycles functions with dreamy midi devices, to create complex multiinstrument sound textures and patterns. Sebastian is also an AV professional, specialized in film sound post-production, and an educator, focusing on media in the context of socio-cultural environments and the relation between the audiovisual and educational processes.
