  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...

  Ears Wide Shut: nuova cartografia dell’invisibile COLLOQUE INTERNATIONAL   EXPÉRIENCES SENSIBLES FABRIQUE ET CRITIQUE DES TERRITOIRES EN MUTATION 6-7-8 novembre 2023, INALCO, Paris   Ears Wide Shut: nuova cartografia dell’invisibile Music & video performance Giuseppe GAVAZZA & Simone SIMS LONGO  Auditorium Inalco, Tuesday November 7, 5:30 p.m.   Tout comme la carte n’est pas le territoire (Bateson, 1989), la partition n’est pas la réalité de l’écoute musicale : mais où est l’écriture musicale dans la musique numérique, où le compositeur - qui est presque toujours aussi interprète de sa propre musique - utilise souvent le même « outil » pour composer et interpréter ? L’outil qui répond au nom de « ordinateur » peut-il être considéré, en fait, comme un instrument de musique ? Si une partition pour instruments acoustiques peut être conçue (en renversant les termes) comme une cartogr...

  Goccia a goccia: rituali di ascolto e pratiche di ri-composizione Born from the paper Ascolto il tuo cuore, città: audio testimonianze al tempo del COVID-19 , presented at Sounds of the Pandemic International online conference, December 16-17 2020,  Goccia a goccia: rituali di ascolto e pratiche di ri-composizione  (Drop by drop: listening rituals and re-composition  practices) is an article written for the volume :  Suono bene comune: Riflessioni, esperienze e progetti dalla pandemia , Squilibri Edizioni, 2023. https://soundsofthepandemic.wordpress.com   https://soundsofthepandemic.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/sotp_programme-book-of-abstracts_8.3.pdf https://www.squilibri.it/catalogo/come-suona-la-toscana/antonella-dicuonzo-francesco-giomi-ludovico-peroni-suono-bene-comune-511   https://hal.science/hal-04786132   go to my website: https://giuseppegavazza.it/  

  Medley Title:  Medley   Instrument: GENESIS sounds, field recordings and old radio broadcasts, dispersed around 44 loudspeakers Duration: 12'02" Year of composition: 2022  Property, publisher: Author  First performance: Nysal Sound-Dome,  Danish Royal Academy of Music in Copenhagen, October 26, 2022   I don't like medleys very much and, perhaps for this very reason, I threw myself the challenge of proposing one on the occasion of a new composition to be broadcast on the large 3D klangdom at the Danish Royal Academy of Music in Copenhagen. The hemispherical space with its six vertical levels becomes a clock that screws from bottom to top in a chronological sense. I decomposed and recomposed 12 minutes of music using models of my main GENESIS compositions from 1996 to the present, together with field-recorded sounds and fragments of radio broadcasts from 1901 to 2020, which I co...

  Numeri Title: Numeri. For one speaking voice in numerous loudspeakers Instrument: loudspeakers choir of variable number of channels Duration: depending from numer of loudspeakers Year of composition: 2015 Property, publisher: Author  First performance: Version for 24 loudspeakers, duration 10'00". O'culto da Ajuda 24 channels acousmonium, Miso Pusic Festival, Lisbon, November 12, 2021 Loudspeaker is one of the few words that retain same etymological structure in several European languages: altoparlante altifalante loudspeaker haut-parleur lautsprecher luidspreker høyttaler μεγάφωνο hoparlör altavoz If the origin of the world has been the word (In principio erat verbum) it is easy to imagine a loudspeaker as a thing that speaks and to consider an orchestra of loudspeakers as a choir or a crowd of speaking voices, each from his/her own place. The possibilities are multiple combining physical reality (the speakers and their fixed position in space) with sonorous reality con...

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....

Siri “Lo shock con cui percepiamo certi momenti come già vissuti ci colpisce solitamente come un suono. È una parola, un battito, un fruscio a cui è stato conferito il potere magico di portarci d’un tratto nel passato”. W. Benjamin, Scritti autobiografici. (The shock with which we perceive certain moments as already experienced usually strikes us like a sound. It's a word, a beat, a rustle that has been given the magical power to take us suddenly into the past.)  “Questo stato di coscienza, suddivisa dalla veglia e dal sonno [...], va ora solo trasposta dall'individuo alla collettività. Va da sé che gran parte di ciò che per l'individuo è esterno appartiene per la collettività alla propria interiorità”. W. Benjamin, I “passages” di Parigi.

The 9 th   winter school organized by CRESSON is welcoming this year the   « B-AIR Art Infinity Radio »  project supported  by  the Creative Europe Culture Program (EACEA) . Since 2013, the CRESSON winter school takes the form of a week of research and practices in order to discuss and explore the laboratory’s methods and concepts in their capacities to give some answers to a specific topic in link with the sound environment, its study, and its transformations.  This year the theme is “ vulnerabilities and sounds, the experience of listening ”. In a world where the immediacy of information, as well as the quickness of actions, has become the rule, it seems more and more challenging to take the time. The acceleration of lifestyles and ways of thinking has become a prerequisite for success. Nevertheless, in parallel with this fast-moving world, long-term issues are being increasingly neglected, creating  social ,  environmental,  and...

Ascolto il tuo cuore, città *1 Listening to my city at the time of COVID19 In these difficult days of COVID19 pandemic emergency disposition, living in a big Italian city my immediate reaction has been to go outside regularly to record the sounds of my district, a neighborhood in the center of Turin, until a few days ago very lively: shops, the outdoor market, bars and restaurants during the day; cinemas, theaters, public places at night; the Valentino park, the largest green area in the centre of Turin. The sound walks and soundscapes made so far are a work in progress already available on the net to sites that allow a geotag connection with Google Maps as aporee(.)org and cartophonies(.)fr. I added to the audio recording the files, made with a geo-tracker GPS app, which provides details of the movements that can be synchronized with the audio recordings. This allows an acoustic exploration in space and time of this environment in this period and in this context. It i...
