DDPPA is a 16 minute long composition created by _pron0ia_ in 2023. The composition consists of five heavily contrasting pieces, which come together to create a fully immersive audiovisual experience. The individual pieces (Distortion, Disruption, Passion, Paranoia, Apathy) each pull from a diverse range of visual and musical aesthetics which are artfully combined to make a maximalist, yet intuitive Gesamtkunstwerk.
In this work, _pron0ia_ uses time-stretching software, AI speech-enhancement, extended electric guitar and field recordings to create harsh, yet detailed musical pieces inspired by noise and ambient music, as well as contemporary experimental club music. To create the visual components, _pron0ia_ used the node based programming language TouchDesigner to manipulate previously recorded video materials, and computer generated fractals. The interplay between the visual and the auditory components is complex, often contrasting and sometimes contradicting.
DDPPA is the most recent work by _pron0ia_ dealing with technology, digital capitalism and the subversion thereof. In creating the composition, _pron0ia_ walks a fine line between subverting the omnipresent digital technology through exposing their imperfections through glitch and artistically researching human-machine interaction in creative processes.
