Soft Saturation is an interpretation of Estonian composer Arvo Pärt's 1977 piece Fratres, using only a large audio console as a sound source. While deliberately generating feedback, the artist develops a way to affect the volume, tone and spatiality of the sound. This allows him to express musical phrasing using the console's faders and a system of pedals. Soft Saturation seeks to link the ancient with the modern, expressing the acoustic openness of early sacred music with contemporary sound design techniques.
