Warscape Sonata is a sound art production that remixes information related to the current drug war in Mexico.

RSS news channels, microblogging hashtags, and viral videos are used as sources for an electronic registry of the historic moment of militarized Mexico.

This use of the internet within a wartime context is generating interesting forms of digital culture which are the basis of this project.

The information obtained from these sources is manipulated by GNU/Linux software to extract sound archives which are then used to create a noise musical structure that places aesthetic emphasis on the media aspect of the war.

Warscape Sonata also highlights the way in which Mexico's civilian population experiments with information technologies to confront propaganda, social control and fear.

This social experiment with mass media is generating new forms of pop culture charaterized by intense human drama.

The Mexican civilian population lives trapped in the crossfire amid war propaganda.

More than 50 thousand people have died as a result, including dozens of journalists. This has caused a crisis in information on the violent events which occur daily in Mexico.

Warscape Sonata is a tribute to all these innocent people that are triying to survive to the war using social media and common sense.
