Note di sala

totaleee — Non è un atlante di traiettorie algo-siderali

This is the second multichannel acousmatic music composed by the trio totaleee. Following the trio’s typical approach, this piece is the result of a collective creative act in which sonic materials are actively manipulated through ongoing exchange and unpredictable outcomes. The collaboration’s alchemy allows their work to develop in directions unfamiliar to their individual practices and to express itself through structures born from shared, horizontal processes.

Antonio Forastiero — Layer

This audiovisual work explores the concept of space. Different spatial dimensions alternate and overlap in an orderly and sometimes chaotic dialogue, giving rise to particularly complex spatial dimensions. Dynamic and articulate spatial dimensions are hidden within apparently static surfaces, which, underlined by particular multidimensional sound interweavings, emerge on the surface sometimes in an isolated manner, in other cases recreating elaborate visual interweavings.

Rosario Grieco — DATA SHAPES

Performance audiovisiva dal vivo che utilizza elementi generativi in tempo reale per rendere ogni esibizione unica. Immagina uno spazio virtuale popolato da dati, dove puoi vederli e ascoltarli, osservarne i movimenti: gruppi di informazioni che si aggregano e si disperdono, spingendosi nella massa fino a quando non puoi concentrarti su elementi specifici. Un’esperienza sensoriale: una finestra aperta su un ipotetico punto di scambio, o l’osservazione di un oggetto attraverso una lente d’ingrandimento, riuscendo a definirli nella loro concretezza per renderli più vicini e meno estranei. Una rappresentazione in cui suoni e immagini si susseguono rapidamente, le forme e i dati sembrano fluttuare in uno spazio vuoto e infinito, in un sistema in continua evoluzione dove si mescolano e cambiano costantemente forma, interagiscono tra loro e, lungo il percorso, si evolvono come per creare un tutto che li rende sempre più complessi.

orqan — Digital Dust

Improvisational live performance for one or more laptops by the duo orqan.

Through data bending techniques, the project explores the transformation of digital files into audible and visual material: temporary files and forgotten data are recontextualized as sound and image, generating immersive audiovisual environments in real time.

The performance investigates the post-digital condition of technology: audio generated from repurposed data drives reactive visual elements, creating a connection between abstract code and audience perception.

At the same time, Digital Dust reflects on the environmental and cultural implications of digital accumulation. Every day vast quantities of data are produced, stored and forgotten across clouds, hard drives and networks. By upcycling these residual files through custom Pure Data patches, orqan highlights the hidden materiality of digital waste, transforming technological residue into a live performative experience.

Ali Hosseini — Delirium

This work is dedicated to all souls, with a special reverence for women — to those whose voices were once silenced, whose brilliance was often veiled in shadows, or whose lives were erased by the tides of history.

To Alice Guy-Blaché

Enrico Francioni — Simple_test

Designed to recall the figure of the great electronic musician and pianist Eugenio Giordani, this work can be divided into “rooms” that host materials and gestures of various categories that return by typology in a cyclical way, but each time varied in content. The types range from synthetic sounds, to concrete material, to totally artificial elements. The gestures that we can identify are of the “continuum” type, but also of the “impulsive” category, or highly fragmented at other times. The materials include quotes from at least six electroacoustic works by Giordani, as well as other material, such as C-Pong.csd audio, musical performances, or human passages taken from a hypothetical, but real and unpublished library, put together by Giordani himself. Simple_test in the original 49-channel version has already been performed in the Sonosphere of the city of Pesaro (Italy).

Sebastiano Naturali — flusso_sonoro_1

It explores sound as a fluid and continuously transforming presence. The composition develops through evolving textures, rhythmic transformations, drones, and fragmented sonic gestures that alternate between moments of density and suspension. Recorded and synthetic materials are progressively reshaped through filtering, distortion, granular processing, and spatialization techniques, generating unstable sonic environments that oscillate between clarity and abstraction.

Conceived in both stereo and quadraphonic formats, the work emphasizes movement and spatial perception as fundamental compositional elements.

LasheK — Labirinto/Panopticon_PressioneRicorsiva

Acousmatic work by the LasheK collective, born from a larger project exploring creative agency in electroacoustic music. Human presence is partially withdrawn: the composition unfolds autonomously, as the system analyses pathways from previous performances through Markov-chain matrices, selecting and recombining materials from studio sessions, live recordings, and accumulated reprocessings. Archive, algorithm, and infrastructure act as compositional agents — shaping form, temporality, and sonic dramaturgy in a recursive environment where composition emerges from the interaction between human performers, computational systems, and autonomous processes of sonic transformation.

Biografie

totaleee

Trio of acousmatic music composers and laptop performers including Giuseppe Pisano-Riise, Andrea Laudante, and Paolo Montella. In their composition work, they use immersive audio technologies to create fictional environments of plausible and impossible nature. Their piece Non è un compendio di Etologia numerico-digitale (2023) was awarded the first prize at ISAC 2024, the Teresa Rampazzi Award at CIM XXIV (Turin 2024) and a CIME 2023 distinction.
