Incubus Mnemonics is an ambient experiment composed solely from field recordings gathered across the period of a year spent on relation Belgrade (Serbia) - Korčula Island (South Adriatic, Croatia). Sonic contrast of the two 'so close but so far away’ places I considered my domiciles had a concrete impact on the development of my cognitive memory.
The idea of cognitive memory being a catalyst in the individual development of psychological perception of sound brought me to a discourse where listening to environmental sound triggers complex compositional processes, and builds active energy transfers and a sense of connection with the source of sound or sonic ambients.
Compositions are conceptualized through equal frequency manipulation and carefully built with artificial reverberation calculations that represent my psychological frame for this occasion. The tone of dark ambiance refers to subconscious dynamics operating ‘under the surface’ and in their own paste of time. A vast stratum of abstract memory has been approached with sound and in particular recycled environmental sound as a 'sense' of orientation within the experience of collective interrelatedness.
