It also contains sounds from Grand Central Station in New York City. "The individual, when isolated, is not self-sufficing, and therefore he is like a part in relation to the whole. But whoever is unable to live in society, or who has no need of it because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god." - Aristotle "Where is the defined boundary between sound and noise? Generally, music does not seem to be related to noise. Due to the fragility of its aesthetic dimension, urban noise, in its context common things, seems to be inexpressive. In the production of this work I try to merge elements from a punctual approach, discrete in elements and discourses... We all know that the music itself does not bear any content; it only resounds through the subjective associations of the psyche, in any case, mobilizing the feeling of the listener." - Bruno Sanfilippo, 2011 Packaging: 4-panel digipak.
