I will be at ICMC12 in Ljubljana on 11-12 sept 12. I will present with Dario Sanfilippo the paper “Towards a typology of feedback systems”. The paper has received the Best Paper Award. Yai! Honored and proud. We will also present a paper + performance “Heterogenously-coupled feedback systems”, of course concerning the Bar Dot Project. We will present the Dark Store setting.
I will in Bassano from 30/08/12 to 01/09/12 with Organo Fonatorio, a sort of interactive loudspeaker driven organ for the Passengers exhibit, curated by Francesco Liggieri of No title Gallery, in the occasion of Infart Festival 6. Let’s see what happens!
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.
I’m very happy to announce that my new (old) album Acta GeoGraphica is out for Ripples, that collects my electronic works based on the GeoGraphy algorithmic environment from 2001 to 2007. A special thanks to Ennio Mazzon is due.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
