Even before he started playing his music live, it has been a compositional trademark of EMERGE to base his tracks (or even whole albums) on sounds from one particular source. Over more than a decade of extensive live performances, this approach has evolved - now each of the three samplers EMERGE uses onstage can be a different instrument, depending on the samples it contains, often from wildly different sources and contexts. With the four-part dark ambient suite "observe", he returns to the "one source only" approach, but with a difference.

As the artist name "EMERGE plays Bad Girl" implies, all the source sounds used in the composition were supplied by Florence-based Italian sound artist, electronic musician, and bass player Bad Girl, yet assembled by EMERGE. "Observe" can be considered a co-composition as well as a remix, depending on the perspective one wants to take. As a set of textures crafted by Bad Girl yet stored on EMERGE's samplers for repeated re-workings in live concerts, it is also a toolkit, an instrument, or an 'open artwork' (Umberto Eco). As such, it is a prototype for similar collaborations by EMERGE with other artists supplying sounds to him.
