Oscar Carmona - MECHANICAL OBSESSIONS (Score video)

"In a world that substitutes virtuality for reality, our experience is being reduced to a set of iterations, resembling a programing loop that it's repeated mechanically, obsessively, mechanically, obsessively..."

Mechanical Obsessions is, literally, a mechanistic and obsessive work, built upon little iterative loops and algorithms. Concerned about how technology impacts our daily life, this piece deals with the problematic of repetitive actions, framing and acquiring its meaning outside of human expression. This composition sustains an immutable tempo of 120 bpm from beginning to end and its excessive mechanization brings it to a state akin to "rave" in the middle section, drawing from the techno genre, A possible paradox occurs , where the mechanical and artificial may trigger a physical trance state, a human expression.
