On monday I’ll start working on Marcel.lí Antunez Roca‘s new work Pseudo, a re-work/reprise of Cotrone, but with a lot of new impressive stuff. And so, back to Barna!
Working on Marcel.lí ‘s Pseudo
Author: andrea valle
Quadratonomade a Latina
The Quadratonomade project is host in the Conservatory of Latina from 22/05/12 to 1/6/12. The selected works include my Libro delle cento generazione. Thank you sirs.
Objects (in the name of love)
In the same occasion, Susanna Legrenzi asked me to join the “Objects (in the name of love)” event chez Walter Voulaz boutique located in via Manzoni, an exhibition of affective objects. In the occasion, I will lend the exposition my fetish object, the Japanese tumbler toy that so well represents the music: “The composer makes plans, music laughs” (M. Feldman).
Making together
I’ve been asked by Stefano Maffei and Susanna Legrenzi to participate to the Making Together event, powered by Logotel for the Milano Design Week on April 17-22.
I will present the new “Machina logotelica”, an installation resulting from an assemblage of scavenged stuff (rumentarium style, ça va sans dire…), motors, hair driers, radioclocks. Custom hardware based on audio control will be used (thanks Guru Francesco Richiardi!)
Hommage to Enore Zaffiri
On March 27/28, together with Stefano Bassanese, we organized a two-day seminar dedicated to Italian pioneer of electronic music Enore Zaffiri. In the occasion, we discussed his opus and dedicated him a concert with electronic and instrumental music. I played my reconstructed version of Zaffiri’ 1968 masterpiece “Musica per un anno” on four channels. Some shots here.
IVVN + Thomas Lehn in Palermo
We played with the Institute for the Very, Very Nervous (Gandolfo Pagano, prepared guitar, Nino Secchia, percussion, Dario Sanfilippo, laptop) at Goethe Institut in Palermo for the Curva Minore festival. Our special guest was Thomas Lehn. We started with Cage’s Sculptures Musicales and ended with a great impro gig.
Some shots here.
NA-TO vs NATO Gig in Turin
I had the pleasure to be invited to participate to the NA-TO vs NATO project, aimed at crossbreeding the impro scenes from Turin and Naples. So here a track from the gig with the DISPNEA duo from Naples composed by Pako-P and Fabrizio Elvetico.
I was playing bass and samples. Totally free, of course.
Quadratonomade at Palazzo delle Esposizioni, Rome
The amazing Quadratonomade project, nomadic artworks in paperboxes, will be shown at Palazzo delle Esposizioni, Rome, on Febrary 29th 2012.
My Libro delle cento generazioni is included.
Rumentario autoedule
I’ve added on Vimeo a short video of the “Rumentario autoedule” installed in Como for Elettrosensi 2012.
In the “Rumentario autoedule” installation the Rumentarium electro-mechanical ensemble, made up of 24 acoustic generators, is coupled with audio analysis capabilities. Two mics capture the surrounding soundscape.
Retrieved pitch and loudness profiles are used to drive the orchestra. As the soundscape around is mostly (even if not only) made up of the same rumentarium, the latter reacts to itself.
Elettrosensi in Como
I’m very happy to be invited to hold on Jan 18/19 2012 a couple of seminars at the Conservatory of Como, for the Elettrosensi cycle of this year. I will speak about audio physical computing, mainly showing a bunch of computationally animated rubbish. The “Rumentario autoedule” installation is included.
