music/research
Thanks to Marco Masoero, I’ve been invited for the Teknologhia cycle of events, inside Polincontri, Politecnico di Torino. In the occasione Carlo Barbagallo and Elaine Bonsangue have shot and edited a wonderful documentary on some of my works, here on YouTube. We discussed it live on 22/04/2022 at Politecnico di Torino.
On Jan 19th, I’ve been invited by Matteo Bordone and Fabrizia Brunati as a guest at Mu, broadcast by the Italian national radio, Rai Radio 2. We discussed about physical computing and I made a demo with Rumentarium. Big fun!
Here some pics by Fabrizia Brunati. Here the podcast.
The new Organised Sound issue dedicated to “Re-wiring electronic music” contains my article “Making Acoustic Computer Music: The Rumentarium project” that sums up four years of research with the Rumentarium setup. To be precise: Andrea Valle (2013). Making Acoustic Computer Music: The Rumentarium project. Organised Sound, 18, pp 242-254. doi:10.1017/S1355771813000216.
Nathan Thomas from Fluid -Radio kindly cites my work in his “Ten conversations about a thing“, happy and proud to be there.
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.
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.
I’m very happy to be featured in the Computer Music Journal winter issue’s DVD dedicated to Live coding. Well, I’m presenting a video on “live writing” with the rumentarium…
Here the issue, the program notes and, above all, the video is publicly available here.
I’ve been invited by Roberto Dani to participate to the “Tempi moderni” event at Centro Stabile di Cultura. So, some rumentarium noise in Sunday 20 Nov (just two day after Rome!)
I’ll be at Scuderie Aldobrandini ven 18/11/11 for a concert dedicated to the preview of Quadratonomade project by Centopercentoperiferia. The performance (with rumentarium) is organized by Nephogram. I’m included in the exhibit with the Libro delle cento generazioni.
