POMELO work with the relationship between visual art, visual anthropology and sound landscapes, experimenting with sound and electronic formats. By not reproducing prewritten compositions, Pomelo is especially interested in the creation process of sound and music as a space enabling to reflect upon questions of human and technical agency as well as the connection of each member and their role in the creative process. Pomelo connects electronic devices, acoustic instruments (guitar, double bass, accordion), (urban) field recordings, nature tone-material, mingled with processed samples of different musical genres. With each of these elements the compositions reflect the group's interest in experimentation, trial and error and the constant movement and flow of sounds. Each composition created, reflects the aesthetic and sensory perspective of urbanism in the city and the current problematics between human relationships and nature, the impossibility of communication and digital technology.
