On May 7, I debuted with the ensemble Arto Fantasma at RKH Studio in Turin with “Bilderatlas Spring Break”, an audiovisual composition within the Nickelodeon digitale project, using the Im-prompt-u methodology.
A kybernete directs the ensemble in real time through plain-text instructions transmitted via Armillaria, a minimal browser-based system for live textual conduction that I developed. A pre-composed visual atlas in three acts (Ieri, Oggi, Domani — Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow), drawn from open-licensed archival sources, is re-sonified live by the ensemble.
With: Carlo Barbagallo (electric guitar), Dario Bruna (drums), Simone Garino (alto sax), Federico Marchesano (double bass), Bruno Surace (composition and conduction), Edmondo Tedesco (clarinets), Andrea Valle (system development and electric bass).
