Hugo Paquete's "Rhythms of the Subatomic Landscapes" Selected for Prestigious Irradia Festival 2025
Hugo Paquete's acousmatic work, "Rhythms of the Subatomic Landscapes," has been selected for the international Irradia Festival 2025. This esteemed festival is dedicated to the cutting edge of contemporary sound and radio art, showcasing pioneering artists from around the globe.
Scheduled for October 16-19, 2025, the festival will broadcast this immersive piece over the airwaves on Universitária FM 107.9 (Fortaleza) and Universitária FM 104.7 (Vitória), as well as via online streaming, bringing its intricate sound world to a wide audience.
"Rhythms of the Subatomic Landscapes" invites listeners on an auditory journey into a realm where rhythm transforms from a regular pulse into a dynamic and unpredictable force of nature. Developed through advanced algorithmic processes and granular synthesis at Absonus Lab, the piece constructs vast, immersive environments where percussive elements flicker, swarm, and decay like sonic weather.
Drawing from a post-techno aesthetic, Paquete engages in a co-composition with these volatile systems. The result is a profoundly visceral and intellectual listening experience that challenges conventional perceptions of time and interrogates the very politics of how sound is organized.
This selection places Hugo Paquete among an inspiring cohort of international sound artists and reaffirms his commitment to research-creation that pushes the boundaries of sonic materiality and critical listening.
