A Century of Sounds

Nell’aria alta

Tracce di Futuri

Very happy to announce that a work by Sergio Marchesini and me with D20ArtLab has been selected for Tracce di Futuri, a selection of contemporary art works on display at Biblioteca Civica Bertoliana, Vicenza. For info check out METAmorfosi

Il respiro di Giotto

This is a dream come true: Il respiro di Giotto is out on digital platforms. It’s just me and Maurizio Camardi, woodwinds and electronics, recorded live at Cappella degli Scrovegni in Padova, the Unesco World Heritage Site frescoed by Giotto. It also features a story by Massimo Carlotto.

Taxi Dreams is a Sound of the Year

Cities and Memory is one of the world’s biggest sound projects, a global, collaborative sound art and field recording programme with the aim of remixing the world, one sound at a time. Taxi Dreams is among the 15 tracks selected for the compilation Sounds of the year! which collects together some of the highlights of the hundreds of compositions submitted to Cities and Memory.

Danzate su di me

Massimo Carlotto is definetely one of my favorite writers and, without any doubt, his novels made me discover noir genre and fall in love with it a couple of decades ago.
I’ll have the pleasure and honour of sharing the stage with Massimo Carlotto and Maurizio Camardi, performing Danzate su di me in a beautiful location, Palazzo Zuckermann, in Padova.

Teatro Verdi!

Presented a new production called Il respiro dell’arte, together with Francesco Lopergolo (visual) and Maurizio Camardi (woodwinds and electronics) at Teatro Verdi, Padova.

Three Cities

I had the chance of playing together with Agnese Amico and Francesco Cigana at Intervalli Festival in Padova. We’ve been on stage playing a live soundtrack to three silent movies. As usual, it has been a very challenging and moving experience, both for the music and the images.

Chiaroscuro

Happy to announce that CHIAROSCURO, the new album by 2 Grains (Attilio Pisarri – acoustic guitar, Francesco Ganassin – clarinet, live electronics) is available on all streaming and download platforms. [Chiaroscuro on Spotify] produced by Ipogeo Records – recorded at DragonFly Studio in Alba (CN – Italy)

Atmospheres of Craft

Sincerely very, very proud of being part of this project. One of the rooms of exhibition, in Palazzo Sturm, Bassano del Grappa, will feature an interactive sound device I conceived for Atmospheres of Craft. The exhibition marks the launch of Hephaestus, a HorizonEU project. Hephaestus recognises that the value of crafts extends beyond the creation of beautiful objects, as it also involves the shaping of the character and identity of a place and culture.

Special thanks to D20 ART LAB, very special thanks to Sergio Marchesini and Raffaella Rivi

DzigaLoop

I have released today on hackster.io the project for DzigaLoop, an invented instrument I have been working on for quite a long time and finally found its shape. You can find many details on my pages on Hackster.io or, if you prefer, on GitHub . Before listening to some sounds, let me say that DzigaLoop is completely based on Bela Platform and runs a PureData code. And now, let me introduce DzigaLoop

Sound-Way

What an incredible news! Sound-Way, my proposal, was selected for the Arduino and K-Way project competition. The call asked to imagine the possibilities generated by integrating advanced AI and sensors into the most iconic jacket of all time. I imagined a sound.

if

I’ve been in a stellar bunch of improvisors for the if Festival (Canada). I’ve presented a long video of my solo Stormire, featuring a tapelooper/synth I coded on PureData and packed in Bela platform, a drone app I coded on faustDSP and packed on my mobile phone, Borderlands_granular synth on ipad, and of course my clarinet and my bass clarinet. International Institute for Critical Studies in Improvisation explores musical improvisation as a crucial model for political, cultural, & ethical dialogue and action.

Ca’ della Vigna

I’ve presented my book Abbecedario Sonoro and exhibited for a couple of weeks a bunch of sonic installations in the beautiful area of Ca’ della Vigna in Selvazzano (PD).

We are on Bela Blog!

It’s great to see our work featured on Bela blog! Many details about Stramare Sound Machines and other projects on Bela [ HERE ]

Tamburo Lunatico

An embryonic new work : Tamburo Lunatico. It’s a Bela Mini [link] powered, Trill Craft [link] equipped and Pure Data [link] coded instrument, born to be played in a theatrical rendition of Il segreto del bosco vecchio by Dino Buzzati, and now becoming a standalone instrument.

Stramare Sound Machines

I am sincerely proud of what we finally presented in Stramare – Segusino (TV) last week end, after a few months of work and research. And when I say “we” I’m talking about Sergio Marchesini, Vilson Luari and me, as part of D20 Art Lab [link], for La Giusta Distanza Festival, directed by Mirko Artuso. https://d20artlab.com/portfolio/stramare-sound-machines/

Zynthian

I finally managed to compile for ZYNTHIAN [link] a synth coded with FAUST [link]. Not to forget how I did it, I thought it could be useful something like a memo. Not exactly a tutorial, since I think these kind of things could be of course done in a more correct way. Just a memo.

Here is the .pdf of ‘The tale of Faust and Zynthian’ [download pdf]

Sound Lines

Factory sonification and video for Electrolux: music for assembly line and bass clarinet. Created with D20 ArtLab. See here for details.
