mdi ensemble wonderfully played the whole Systema naturae cycle that I co-composed with Mauro Lanza at Fabbrica del vapore, Milano, 11/10/18, a production by RepertorioZero. Incredible sold out! We also had the chance to discuss with Marco Ferraguti (Italian translator of my cult author S.J. Gould). Pics here. A very interesting review by Renato Rivolta is here.
I’ve been invited to participate in Theatrum Botanicum by Almare at PAV, Parco Arte Vivente, Torino. In the occasion, Almare presented a booklet dedicate to Systema naturae and, in the occasion, I rebuild my good ole Rumetarium setup. Pics here.
We performed Systema Naturae (the whole cycle of 4 pieces I co-wrote with Mauro Lanza) at Schaumbad, Graz, with wonderful Schallfeld Ensemble. In the occasion, we gave a couple of lecture at Uni and at IEM.
After some years, I’m back at the Sound and Music Computing Conference, 14th ed, 2017, in Espoo. Presenting two papers, both available on line in the proceedings: Systema Naturae: shared practices between physical computing and algorithmic composition, with Mauro Lanza, and Electric Grammars. Algorithmic Design and Construction of Experimental Music Circuits, with Simone Pappalardo
My new album Ultraxy, including works written for Marcel.li Antunez Roca’s Ultraorbism and Alsaxy is out for Solitunes. Every cover album of the CDs is different and generated algorithmic by a modified toy caterpillar. Check it here.
As the final event of my DAAD guest professorship, we will present with the students an exhibition of multimedia installations at the Passagen Köln, between 17 and 22 jan 17. On Sat 21 I will play at St Michael church live impro with Simone Pappalardo. I’ll bring 12 hacked radios.
Wonderful rendition of Regnum vegetabile by the specialist, ensemble mosaik, that invited me at Klangspuren Schwaz Festival on 10/09/2016 for the Diskrete Machinen concert. Here some pics.
With Mauro Lanza we have played Regnum animale with Ensemble 2e2m, as a part of the residency project of this year, at the CRR in Paris.
I’ll be in Rome for the Maker Faire. The workshop -“Residual orchestras”- is organised by RepertorioZero and will terminate with a short performance.
We’ve been invited to play Regnum vegetabile with the Ensemble PlusMinus at Cafe Oto, London, for the Cut & Splice festival, directed by Joanna Bailie. Wonderful performance and alive situation, and cool place.
