We need your dreams

Immagine
  Abbiamo bisogno dei vostri sogni   We need your dreams (scroll down/click)   Nel mese luglio 2021, nell’ambito del convegno  L’Enchantement qui réviént  svoltosi negli spazi magici del Castello di Cerisy ho proposto e realizzato  Entre son et songe: Dream’s Cloud ,  installazione visiva e sonora, poi utilizzata per la copertina del volume degli atti. Nella proposta scrivevo: "Nello spirito delle Parole Gelate di Rabelais (1) , appesi a palloncini colorati e luminosi, una dozzina di altoparlanti portatili diffonderanno di giorno e di notte, voci che raccontano i loro sogni; voci anonime raccolte prima e durante la residenza che saranno diffuse solo nei modi e in occasione dell’installazione." Ho raccolto al momento 120 sogni raccontati in francese, italiano, inglese, cinese, coreano, tunisino, marocchino, spagnolo, portoghese. Sogni, parte di un archivio intimo e privato, diffusi discretamente solo in occasione dell'installazione.  In collab...

Dreams Cloud A bit in the spirit of Rabelais' Paroles gelées,

Giuseppe Gavazza Dreams Cloud A bit in the spirit of Rabelais' Paroles gelées ,  but without the fighting (make dreams, not war!).  Attached to luminous balloons, I install a dozen pocket loudspeakers scattered around the garden, which will broadcast voices narrating their dreams.  During the first installations, at the Château de Cerisy-la Salle in July and August 2021, I collected more than eighty dreams told by voices speaking in French, Italian, English, Chinese, Korean, Tunisian, Spanish.   The collection of dreams continues with new calls for new opportunities. The dreams, part of this intimate and private archive of mine, will only be unveiled on the occasions of the installation but not shared in any other ways.  CALL FOR DREAMS Send me a recording in which you narrate your dreams: any language is good for dreaming it's not necessary that the recording is of high quality: it's ok an MP3 recording or other compressed format made with a portable phone....

Reloading Black Mountain College: META Museum experience

Immagine
META  at Black Mountain College, Spring 2008 English version: scroll down META Museum non ha una sede, non ha spazi propri, non ha un capitale (se non umano), non ha uno statuto, non ha regolamenti, non è legalmente costituito, non ha un sito web: è un insieme di persone che dal 1990 si incontrano a cadenza bi/tri-ennale al Black Mountain College, North Carolina, USA; è un insieme di esperienze che si generano e si dissolvono nello spazio di 5 giorni, all’interno di una cornice d’eccezione, in virtù del potenziale creativo delle persone che vi partecipano. Grazie all’impegno dei suoi fondatori, META Museum ha avuto il merito di coinvolgere persone interessanti, provenienti da percorsi eterogenei, e di averle fatte incontrare in un modo unico. Quest’incontro tra persone legate da un filo comune, ma che non avrebbero avuto l’opportunità di conoscersi altrimenti, è un’occasione per sperimentare una reciproca ed intensa contaminazione, da cu...

Le voci del mondo, Projection sonore spatiale par le Dôme Sonore,  création française, Auditorium Grenoble INP, #AST 2015  mercredi 18 novembre, 20 et 22h Le voci del mondo (The voices of the world) for orchestra of loudspeakers, everyone with its Genesis player inside  is a composition conceived for a 24 loudspeakers orchestra: in this concert the 24 speakers ACROE's  Projection sonore spatiale Dôme Sonore. Working for my PhD on the subject of GENESIS (software of musical synthesis for physical modelling) as a tool for musical formalisation (mainly for composition) I have realized many thousands of models capable to generate sounds. Every model, that can be very simple or very complex, has its own "voice" that - in coherence with a use focalised on the generation of musical articulated objects rather then on synthesis of single sounds – can be a complex and richly articulated sound. Some of these sounds often appear to me like voices of strange ...

Something new, Tuesday June 10th 2014: about a first performance of a new composition at Torino, Festival Antidogma

For Festival of Contemporary Music Antidogma , next Tuesday June 10th, at h. 9 p.m., Teatro Vittoria, Turin, first performance of Dodici corde e mezzo , a new composition for guitar and synthesized sounds. The soloist will be Davide Ficco. The piece propose a personal approach to electroacoustic music. Normally compositions mixing electronic and acoustic instruments find a balance by amplifying the acoustic instruments: acoustic instruments grow up to electroacoustic dimension. Personally, in my mix pieces (Experimental Studio SWF Freiburg 1994, Ircam 1996, Gazi Athene 1998, Museo Castello di Rivoli L'Impronta Digitale 1999, Rica-ACROE Grenoble 2001, Cuneo Stagione MNT 2002, Venezia i Virtuosi virtuali 2003, Trio Bio Savigliano 2011 Strange Trio MPG Festival Antidogma Torino 2012, Strange Trio VMG Ecomuseo Salbertrand 2012, Strange Duo MG, Monte Chabriere 2012 and 2013) I often tried to find a balance at the acoustical level, setting down electronic sounds to the instrument i...
