Atlas of Uncertainty e' un video sperimentale di musica elettronica (Acusmatica) che combina immagini e suoni generati dal computer in termpo differito (Csound+Max MSP). L'universo illetico del brano è rappresentato da suoni molto distanti tra loro: suoni creati all'interno di una cucina, percussioni di vario genere; suoni generati elettronicamente; accumulazioni granulari. Il video che accompagna la musica è anch'esso generato da un computer e si basa sulla rappresentazione dei 4 elementi classici della terra, fuoco, aria, acqua, considerati nell'Antica Grecia come gli elementi in grado di spiegare la natura e la complessità della materia come combinazione di questi elementi più semplici. Il video e la musica sono articolati in gesti variamente elaborati, trasformati e riproposti e tuttavia facilmente riconoscibili.

Heterogenous sound materials are used: kitchen noises, treated bell textures; electronic whips sounds, chimes, tibetan bowls; noisy whooshes; gnaular accumulations, just to name a few. The video of the piece is also computer generated (MAX MSP);. The video is based on the representation of 4 classical elements of earth, fire, aether, water, that tipically refers to the concept of ancient greece which were proposed to expain the nature and complexity of all matter in terms of simple substances.
