If you happen to have a set of vinyl records sitting around, take a look at them. Check out all those grooves that ring around and around, jostling the needle that has made all those tunes that have enriched your life. Now imagine you had that record as a CAD file and you extruded the entire surface, completely out of proportion to the record. That is more or less what a Microsonic Landscape is.
Not the Re-Release I’d Want to Hear
Mexico City-based Research and Experimentation Studio Realität takes you on a “new spatial and unique journey” with their Microsonic Landscape.

If you were an ant, Portishead’s “Third” album would resemble some sort of dystopic cityscape – very ant-unfriendly.
Nick Drake’s “Pink Moon” looks cool as his voice and that guitar riff. More jangle-ly than jagged.

“Für Alina” by Arvo Pärt resembles some sort of descent to hell. Actually it’s supposed to be light-hearted song but I prefer to let the waveforms speak for themselves.
“Another World” Anthony & The Johnsons – that voice – so killer.
The album “Jewels” by Einstürzende Neubauten is way, way, WAY cooler to look at than to listen to. Acquiring the taste to listen to Noise and incomprehensible German looks about as difficult as climbing that mountain in the middle of the ‘Microlandscape’.
That being said, Microsonic Landscapes would be cooler if they were of songs a few of us have heard of. But now I know about Anthony & The Johnsons – that’s a bonus.
