I’ve finally put on line a video from the Trilobiti installation in Latina, for the festival “Le forme del suono” on may 24th. Shortly, trilobites is a population of radioclocks capable of sensing the acoustic environment and reacting to it. Here it is. Here a video from the amazing live gig with Simone Pappalardo and Franz Rosati at Circolo Hemingway in Latin the same evening. I’m using a live setup with radioclocks.
I’ve been invited to participate to TPA, Torino Performance Art festival. Which is not a music festival, so I was the only musicians: an interesting context. I’ve played live with the Trilobites project (radioclocks), writing.
I’ve been invited by Alessandro Sciaraffa to join other Turin-based artists in a radio project at Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin. I played radioclocks by wrirting poems. The event was related to Alessandro’s exhibit. It has been an impressive event!
I will be at “Le forme del suono” festival in Latina on 23-24 holding a SuperCollider crash course. I will also present the “Trilobiti” installation:
On 24 I’ll be with Simone Pappalardo and Franz Rosati for a gig at Circolo Hemingway, Latina.
On a Cage concert at Conservatorio di Torino (“Changes of Music”) we will premier an automated version of Imaginary Landscape no. 4. Originally scored for 12 radios and 24 performers, as a collaboration between CIRMA and Politecnico di Torino we have implemented a SuperCollider/Arduino version that automatises it. See here for the whole stuff. Proud of the project and of the crew.
Marcel·lì Antúnez Roca has put on line a lot of video materials concerning Pseudo. Be sure to look here and here. Featured music can be heard here.
Dispacci dal fronte interno [Dispatches from the homefront] is a work for feedback system including ad libitum strings, printer and live electronics, that I presented at Sonic Screens, on 01/12/2012.
Audio from strings, printers and environment is not only manipulated live, but some features are extracted and used to control not only the same sound processing but also the real-time generation and print on the fly of musical notation to be performed by the player. In short, the performer receives “dispatches” which content depends on what s/he is playing.
Here a video by Gianmarco Del Re (thanks!), featuring:
Èdua Amarilla Zádory – Violin
Ana Topalovic – Violoncello
I’ll be in Milan on Dec 1/2012 with friend from U.S.O. Project for the 2012 edition of their Sonic Screens. I’ll present Dispacci dal fronte interno, a new piece for violin and cello with printers dispatching notation sheets in real-time in the framework of a feedback system. (who knows what will happen…). The performers will be the Èdua Amarilla Zádory – Violin and Ana Topalovic – Violoncello.
I’m proudly presenting Marcel·lí Antúnez Roca‘s new work Pseudo, to be premiered on Thu 24 July at Mercat de les Flors for the Grec Festival, in Barcelona. An impressive mechatronic peformance featuring a polar bear, a mechanical head, a miniprojector helmet, loudspeaker tits, 3 screens, a guncam, four channel audio, of course interactive and in real time, (not to speak of pressure carpets and the usual exoskeleton). I made some 20 pieces, interactive, working in real time, on four channels, and developed the software structure for interconnecting the music application to the other (many) software components used in the performance. Of course, entirely developed in SuperCollider.
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!
