SUMMARY:MA/IN24 - KORA①
DESCRIPTION:© Simone Sims Longo (Paesaggi Integrati)\n \n🎟biglietti disponibili solo in loco\n▷ apertura mostra / installazioni\nh 20.30\n⦿ Daphne Ting-Yu Chu [TW] + Teng Xue [CN] /// Parallel\ninteractive installation\n⦿ CREA K//LAB [IT] /// Chamber of Visions\nVR installation\n \n▷ concerto\nh 21.00\n⦿ Diego Ratto [IT] /// Memoria [honorable mention]\nacousmatic\n⦿ Fernando Hester [IT] /// Zooming [honorable mention]\nacousmatic\n⦿ Bowen Wu [UK] /// Mixobloodify [honorable mention]\naudiovisual\n \nh 21.30\n⦿ Simone Sims Longo [IT] /// Paesaggi Integrati\nlive performance \n  \n\n/// CHAMBER OF VISIONS [installazione VR] Anima et Corpo: Oratorio Espanso\nLa Testa Anatomica impressiona per il suo potere metaforico la cui visione straordinaria ci conduce oltre l’apparenza fisica\, aprendo le porte a una comprensione più profonda dell’essere umano e delle sue relazioni. Abbiamo esplorato concetti come simultaneità\, pluralità\, armonia\, diversità\, unicità e coesione. Balbi scarnifica i corpi per tracciare una figura che sfugge alla riconoscibilità\, riunendo singolarità in un unicum che celebra la coesistenza delle diversità. Attraverso la tecnologia\, abbiamo tessuto un mondo complesso che abbraccia la “visione molteplice”\, mostrando il linguaggio della connessione e della compassione. L’installazione rivela un intreccio di comprensione reciproca\, dove l’arte ci spinge a essere agenti di cambiamento e le difformità si fondono. La parola diventa corporea\, il suono fluido movimento\, e l’immagine un richiamo profondo. Frammenti dell’opera esplodono in un nuovo spazio luminoso popolato di stimoli intermittenti che rivelano intricate relazioni. Invitiamo alla contemplazione\, espandendo l’orizzonte delle possibilità\, dissolvendo le barriere tra forme artistiche e promuovendo una connessione profonda con l’opera e con noi stessi.\nCREA K//LAB è il laboratorio dei processi intermediali del Conservatorio Licinio Refice di Frosinone\, coordinato da Valerio Murat\, docente di Multimedialità presso la medesima istituzione. La lettera K è abbreviazione di Keiron\, figlio di Kronos\, un centauro\, creatura ibrida dall’intelligenza aumentata\, simbolo della molteplicità nelle arti e nelle scienze. Il CREAK//LAB funziona come spazio di sperimentazione e collaborazione tra artisti e ricercatori\, promuovendo progetti innovativi che collegano diverse discipline artistiche. Esplorando le intersezioni tra musica\, tecnologia e arti visive\, il CREA K//LAB svolge un ruolo fondamentale nell’ampliare i confini delle pratiche artistiche tradizionali. A tale scopo utilizza dispositivi audiovisivi immersivi della realtà virtuale e dell’audio 3D. Si esaltano le forme della composizione audiovisiva in una ricerca artistica che appare oggi ancora tutta da percorrere. Il laboratorio indaga nuove tecniche\, linguaggi e forme di espressione\, sottolineando il potere dell’arte di mettere in discussione il mondo e favorire nuove prospettive di convivenza civile. [Valerio Murat: Direzione artistica / Federico Acosta Rios\, Eugenio Cecchini\, Elia Dell’Orco\, Fabio Fornaro\, Gabriele Teti: Progettazione e realizzazione / Giovanni Fontana: Testi poetici e voce / Axel Ferrari: Modellazione 3D della Testa Anatomica / Stefano Germani: Technical Manager]\n* supported by: Labora Studio\, Associazione Gottifredo\n \n\n/// MEMORIA [acusmatica] Un viaggio tempestoso attraverso il tempo\, nelle profondità della memoria. Reami nascosti e lontani di momenti e ricordi frammentari\, un’odissea personale guidata dagli echi dei suoni dell’infanzia.\nDiego Ratto\, compositore e artista del suono italiano con sede a Los Angeles\, CA\, ha un portfolio diversificato che include musica per film\, composizioni acusmatiche\, musica per videogiochi\, installazioni video-artistiche e musica da concerto. Ha conseguito un dottorato in Composizione Musicale presso l’Università della California\, Santa Barbara (UCSB). La sua formazione include una specializzazione in composizione per film alla UCLA\, un Master in Musica in Composizione Elettroacustica presso il Royal College of Music di Stoccolma (KMH) e due lauree in Musica in chitarra jazz e musica elettronica presso il Conservatorio “A. Vivaldi” di Alessandria\, Italia. Le sue opere sono state riconosciute in numerosi concorsi internazionali\, vincendo premi come il Prix Russolo 2022\, Sound of Silences – Romaeuropa Festival 2020\, Prix CIME 2017 e il WOCMAT International Phil Winsor Computer Music Competition 2018\, tra gli altri. Nel 2021\, ha ricevuto una borsa di studio Fulbright per studiare Composizione Musicale negli Stati Uniti d’America. \n/// ZOOMING [acusmatica] Il brano offre all’ascoltatore un’esperienza percettiva dinamica\, caratterizzata da transizioni fluide o improvvise che distinguono le varie sezioni\, ognuna definita dal suo unico paesaggio sonoro. Le scelte stilistiche nella composizione mirano a guidare l’ascoltatore in un viaggio che alterna sensazioni di alienazione e familiarità\, utilizzando sia suoni sintetici che reali. Ispirandosi a tecniche sviluppate e sperimentate da compositori come Iannis Xenakis\, Curtis Roads e Horacio Vaggione\, il brano impiega varie metodologie sonore e compositive\, tra cui approccio multiscala\, granulazione\, vocoding e sintesi concatenativa. La genesi della composizione risiede nell’idea di creare complessi aggregati sonori attivati da impulsi casuali.\nFernando Hester è un compositore e sound designer con sede a Bologna\, Italia. Nato nel 1990 e cresciuto ad Arezzo\, ha frequentato il liceo artistico. Si è avvicinato per la prima volta alla musica attraverso lo studio del sassofono per poi passare al DJing\, che ha praticato per quasi un decennio. Dopo anni di sperimentazione con la musica elettronica al di fuori del mondo accademico\, si è iscritto al corso di Musica Elettronica del Conservatorio di Bologna\, dove attualmente studia Sound Design. La sua ricerca si concentra sulla musica computerizzata e sulla composizione audio-visiva. \n/// MIXOBLOODIFY [audiovisivo] L’idea originale di questa opera nasce dall’estensione della mia ricerca su come la pipa e la musica elettronica possano essere ibridate in un nuovo linguaggio digitale. Grazie alla mia ricerca\, sono stato esposto a molti concetti riguardanti l’ibridità. Come artista che desidera integrare diversi contesti culturali nelle sue creazioni\, e che affronta sfide legate all’esplorazione dell’identità\, ai conflitti culturali\, all’autoaccettazione\, al riconoscimento sociale\, ecc.\, l’intenzione di Mixobloodify è amplificare questo processo di creazione di opere ibride e utilizzare un linguaggio digitale astratto per esprimere le emozioni generate da questioni sociali reali. In questa creazione audiovisiva\, ho registrato la mia esibizione alla pipa come materiale sonoro di base\, l’ho elaborata utilizzando la piattaforma Max/MSP e ho interagito con le immagini che ho creato in TouchDesigner.\nBowen Wu è un compositore e artista audiovisivo con sede a Glasgow\, in Scozia. Con un background in composizione di musica per film\, si è appassionato alla performance di musica elettronica dal vivo\, alla composizione di paesaggi sonori\, alla musica sperimentale e alla composizione audiovisiva. Le sue opere soliste sono state esposte in Cina\, Regno Unito\, Italia\, Spagna\, Grecia\, Corea del Sud e in altri luoghi. In passato\, ha lavorato come tastierista\, produttore musicale e direttore musicale per band\, esibendosi in vari festival musicali e tournée in Cina e a livello internazionale. Ha conseguito un Master in Composizione per lo schermo presso l’Università di Edimburgo e attualmente sta perseguendo un dottorato di ricerca all’Università di Glasgow sotto la supervisione del Prof. Nick Fells e della Prof.ssa Louise Harris. \n\n/// PAESAGGI INTEGRATI [live performance] si colloca a metà strada tra musica computerizzata\, elettroacustica e techno. È un progetto che intreccia relazioni tra diversi piani e materiali sonori: strumenti acustici\, suono processato\, sintesi digitale e paesaggi sonori atmosferici. Operando ai margini delle classificazioni di genere\, “Paesaggi Integrati” integra registrazioni sul campo come strumento per costruire scenari sonori organici\, che si contrappongono al ritmo e alla sintesi. Nella performance dal vivo\, il suono si intreccia con fonti di luce\, creando un ambiente visivo che interagisce con l’audio\, formando geometrie luminose nello spazio.\nSimone Sims Longo è un artista sonoro e di nuovi media il cui lavoro spazia dalla composizione per musica elettronica fissa\, al sound design\, fino alle installazioni sonore. Come compositore\, è profondamente interessato alla creazione e alla manipolazione del suono nel dominio digitale\, con un focus particolare sulla manipolazione del timbro. Cerca costantemente un equilibrio tra sintesi sonora e suoni campionati. Le sue composizioni spesso coinvolgono la multi-iterazione di campioni\, esplorando gli spostamenti di fase e le complessità delle variazioni poliritmiche all’interno delle texture sonore. Attraverso la diffusione multi-canale del suono\, Longo esplora la spazialità e sfrutta l’interazione del suono con gli elementi architettonici. È particolarmente affascinato dalla riverberazione naturale e dalle qualità di diffusione sonora di diversi materiali. Le sue esibizioni dal vivo enfatizzano la relazione tra suono ed elementi visivi o tra suono e luce\, offrendo esplorazioni immersive della percezione audio-visiva.

SUMMARY:MA/IN24 - KORA②
DESCRIPTION:©Moritz Schmid (Monocolor – Refractive Index)\n \n🎟 biglietti disponibili solo in loco\n▷ apertura mostra / installazioni\nh 20.30\n⦿ Daphne Ting-Yu Chu [TW] + Teng Xue [CN] /// Parallel\ninteractive installation\n⦿ CREA K//LAB [IT] /// Chamber of Visions\nVR installation\n \n▷ concerto\nh 21.00\n⦿ Alexis Blais [CA] /// animal_farm [award of distinction]\nacousmatic \nh 21.15\n⦿ Dotzerosix [EC] /// Boatnoa\nlive A/V performance \nh 22.00\n⦿ Monocolor [AT] /// Refractive Index\nlive A/V performance\n \n\n/// PARALLEL [installazione interattiva A/V]  è un’installazione audiovisiva interattiva che si colloca a metà strada tra performance ed esperienza\, esplorando il delicato equilibrio tra solitudine e connessione. Attraverso strati di luce e suono\, questa installazione rivela la delicata coesistenza tra l’esistenza individuale e quella collettiva.”Parallel” invita i partecipanti a interagire attraverso i loro movimenti\, trasformando componenti discrete in un’entità vivente che risuona e risponde all’interazione umana. Abbiamo raccolto suoni da momenti di solitudine\, li abbiamo modulati digitalmente in tempo reale in base ai movimenti dei partecipanti e li abbiamo visualizzati con proiezioni e luci. Ispirata dalle esperienze di migrazione degli artisti\, l’opera riflette temi di integrazione culturale ed empatia\, promuovendo la coesione sociale e la comprensione reciproca. Mentre esploriamo l’interazione tra luce e suono\, ridefiniamo i confini della percezione\, gettando luce sulla profondità delle nostre esperienze condivise e sottolineando la bellezza paradossale dell’interconnessione.\nDaphne Chu  è un’artista new media e lighting designer con sede a Londra\, specializzata in installazioni interattive\, esperienze spaziali\, arti audiovisive e performance dal vivo. Ha esposto le sue opere personali e ha partecipato a oltre 200 produzioni di illuminazione in più di 50 città in tutto il mondo\, tra cui MGM Grand Garden Arena (Las Vegas)\, The O2 Arena (Londra)\, AccorHotels Arena (Parigi)\, Ars Electronica Festival (Linz)\, il London Festival of Architecture\, Artsect Gallery (Londra)\, Ugly Duck Gallery (Londra) e altri. Teng Xue è un artista multidisciplinare che esplora architettura\, realtà virtuale\, arte installativa\, film e design esperienziale. Come ex ricercatore presso l’Interactive Architecture Lab e co-fondatore di Elixirt Studio\, il lavoro di Teng è influenzato dal suo background in architettura\, sociologia e design dell’interazione. La sua prospettiva unica sulla cultura queer e il movimento corporeo conferisce profondità alla sua arte\, esposta in festival internazionali come la Beijing Design Week e Ars Electronica. \n\n/// ANIMAL_FARM [acusmatica] Nella composizione di animal_farm\, si nasconde il desiderio di esplorare scale temporali ancora toccate nella musica del compositore\, tramite manipolazioni e montaggi preparatori si arriva a derivazioni di densità crescente\, così da poter trasformare e sviluppare i materiali del brano. Quest’ultimo rivela anche l’imperfezione dei gesti umani attraverso l’incorporazione di performance MIDI durante la fase di editing. L’esoterismo dell’approccio nel brano semina rotture e sorprese\, come tante false piste nel suo labirintismo. Composto in un contesto teso e ansioso\, animal_farm sembra voler porre le domande più semplici possibili\, senza tuttavia riuscire a rispondere completamente a esse.\nAlexis Blais è un compositore di musica elettroacustica con sede a Montreal. Diplomato al Conservatorio di musica di Montreal nella classe di Louis Dufort\, sta attualmente conseguendo un master in composizione e creazione sonora presso l’Università di Montreal con Ana Dall’Ara-Majek. La sua ricerca si concentra sul continuum che unisce il linguaggio della musica strumentale con quello elettroacustico. Pianista classico di formazione\, i suoi lavori acusmatici fanno parte di una ricerca plastica e testuale di materiali concreti su uno sfondo di armonie modali. Alexis Blais lavora anche nel teatro e nella danza\, oltre a insegnare sound design alla Scuola Nazionale di Circo di Montreal e al Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf. Il suo pezzo SKAND è finalista del premio Luigi Russolo 2023. I suoi lavori sono stati eseguiti in Inghilterra\, Europa\, Brasile\, Giappone e Canada. \n\n/// BOATNOA [live A/V performance] è un’opera audiovisiva dal vivo con visualizzazioni audio-reattive in tempo reale. Come composizione\, mantiene una struttura generale\, ma lascia spazio anche a sezioni improvvisate. Le immagini reagiscono al suono\, creando uno spazio che invita il pubblico a riflettere sul concetto di “città moderna” e sul significato di abitarla. Audio e immagini vengono utilizzati per ripensare la città (facendo riferimento alla sua fisicità e alla sua popolazione) e alla digitalità inevitabilmente presente in essa. Da un lato\, i riferimenti evidenti alla città sono creati da materiali presi direttamente dalla città stessa: immagini\, video\, soundmarks e paesaggi sonori sono componenti che ne descrivono le caratteristiche sensoriali. Dall’altro lato\, i metodi utilizzati per raccogliere questo materiale parlano delle attività digitali onnipresenti: fotogrammetria\, registrazioni\, fotografia digitale e manipolazione di suoni e immagini. L’obiettivo di questo lavoro è offrire al pubblico un luogo e un momento di riflessione\, mettendolo di fronte a una versione condensata della loro vita urbana e alle sue diverse sfaccettature.\nDotzerosix (.06) è un duo creativo formato da Tania Cortés Becerra e Oscar Bahamonde\, artisti ecuadoriani formati in musica\, suono\, produzione musicale e multimedia. Questo duo genera esperienze audiovisive basate sull’esplorazione di strumenti e prospettive diverse. Costruiscono anche parte delle loro attrezzature e programmano il loro lavoro per scolpire un’estetica minimalista e glitch. I loro linguaggi principali sono il suono\, l’arte visiva e la musica. DZ6 ha creato installazioni audiovisive e performance multimediali per festival come Hausmann 9.0 (2019\, Ecuador)\, Never Knows Better Exhibition (2020\, USA)\, Festival Expresiones Contemporáneas (2021\, Messico)\, LaTam Festival (2021\, Francia)\, Créartup Festival (2021\, Francia)\, Traces of The Future – International Exhibition (2021\, Polonia)\, Ciudad Glitch (2023\, Spagna)\, Sound No Sound (2023\, Spagna)\, JIM (2023\, Francia)\, VOLUMENS (2023\, Spagna)\, ZIMMT (2023\, Germania). \n\n/// REFRACTIVE INDEX [live A/V performance] è una performance audiovisiva dal vivo di MONOCOLOR. Le immagini e i suoni\, interamente generati in modo autonomo\, creano un’esperienza audiovisiva in costante mutamento. Sciami di punti formano forme instabili che oscillano tra strutture complesse e architettoniche e pattern naturali e organici. Situato al confine tra il naturale e il sintetico\, sia nel suono che nell’immagine\, il lavoro mira a trasmettere un senso di transitorietà e fragilità.\nMONOCOLOR\, alias Marian Essl\, è un artista audiovisivo con sede a Vienna. Esplora le interrelazioni tra suono e immagine sia in opere basate su performance che in installazioni. Le sue immagini\, interamente generative e create algoritmicamente\, oscillano tra texture fluide e organiche e strutture rigide. Marian si concentra sulla relazione tra suono\, immagine\, luce e spazio\, con l’obiettivo di creare universi audiovisivi altamente immersivi. Le sue opere sono state esposte in vari contesti in tutto il mondo. Nel 2020\, ha ricevuto il New Face Award del Japan Media Arts Festival per la sua performance audiovisiva fulldome Latent Space\, creata durante una residenza presso la Société des arts technologiques (SAT) a Montréal. Nella primavera del 2024\, ha inaugurato una grande mostra personale intitolata SCREEN—SPACE a Krems\, Austria.

SUMMARY:MA/IN24 - Piano Hero / PHANTOMS OF EXISTENCE
DESCRIPTION:© NODE festival – Modena 2023 (Phantom of Existence – Alex Guevara)\n \n🎟ticket in vendita su CINETEATRODONBOSCO e disponibili in loco fino esaurimento posti\n▷ apertura porte h 20.45\n \n▷ concerto\nh 21.00\n⦿ AGON [IT] /// PIANO HERO\npianoforte e elettronica\nopera di Stefan Prins\nDiego Petrella: piano\nMassimo Marchi: elettronica e regia del suono\n*produzione AGON  \nh 21.45\n⦿ Alex Guevara [PE] /// PHANTOMS OF EXISTENCE [►VIDEO]\nlive A/V performance \n\n/// PIANO HERO [mixed media]\nMassimo Marchi (regia del suono\, elettronica)\nDiego Petrella (pianoforte)\n \n/// PHANTOMS OF EXISTENCE [audiovisual performance] esplora l’essenza mutevole della memoria\, dove la presenza del passato è un’eco silenziosa nelle nostre vite attuali. Attraverso una sequenza di elementi luminosi e sonori\, il progetto traccia un percorso da inizi lucidi e nitidi alle sfumature sussurrate della fine della memoria. È un’impresa introspettiva che esamina i contrasti nelle nostre reminiscenze e i fili intangibili che tessono il nostro senso di sé. L’opera rappresenta la sua astrazione come un viaggio personale sullo sfondo universale del passaggio del tempo\, offrendo allo spettatore una tela su cui proiettare interpretazioni personali ed esplorare l’esperienza soggettiva del tempo e del sé.\nAlex Guevara è un digital artist nato a Lima\, Perù\, nel 1986\, e attualmente residente a Berlino. Il suo linguaggio artistico ha solide radici nell’ambito dell’audiovisivo e nella ricerca sull’interazione fra suono\, luci ed elementi video. Con un ampio range di competenze che spaziano nei territori dell’interaction design\, installazioni interattive\, design generativo ed elaborazioni audio-video in real time\, Guevara combina arte\, scienza e tecnologia per creare esperienze immersive e strabilianti landscape in cui si fondono digitale ed organico. Nelle sue opere più recenti\, la dinamicità ed il carattere fluido dei visual\, intrecciati con soundscapes in continua evoluzione\, puntano a restituire un senso di perenne movimento ed impermanenza\, invitando il pubblico a riflettere sulla natura transitoria dell’esperienza e\, più in generale\, sulla sfuggevole ed effimera natura dell’esistenza stessa\, qui spogliata di qualsiasi elemento accessorio e presentata nella sua essenza di cambiamento e trasformazione. I suoi lavori sono stati presentati nei più importanti festival e centri di ricerca artistica internazionali come: Berlin Art Week\, Mutek in Montreal\, CCCB Barcellona\, Asia Digital Art Exhibition in Beijing e molti altri ancora.

SUMMARY:MA/IN24 - Aeterna / SYNSPECIES
DESCRIPTION:© Quentin Chevrier (Droljc+Merino – Synspecies)\n \n🎟ticket in vendita su CINETEATRODONBOSCO e disponibili in loco fino esaurimento posti\n▷ apertura porte h 20.45\n \n▷ concerto\nh 21.00\n⦿ Lorenzo Ballerini + Massimo D’Amato [IT] /// Aeterna \nh 21.45\n⦿ Tadej Droljc [SI] + Elias Merino [ES] /// SYNSPECIES [►VIDEO]\nlive A/V performance\n* Supported: ASBU is coproduced by \, LEV Festival \, INDEX Biennale\, WeSa Festival\, SnaporazVerein and NODE Festival in collaboration with Basemental.\nThe project is supported by the European Festivals Fund for Emerging Artists – EFFEA\, an initiative of the European Festivals Association (EFA)\, co-funded by the European Union \n\n/// AETERNA [live performance] La performance orchestra luce e suono\, creando un arazzo di interconnessioni multimediali. Mentre la luce illumina il nostro rapporto viscerale e biologico con l’elettricità\, il suono effimero diventa una rappresentazione della metamorfosi\, una manifestazione che svanisce nel presente\, per tornare sotto forma di memoria ed emozione\, formando nuove connessioni bioelettriche. In questo viaggio ipnotico\, l’effimero non viene consegnato all’oblio\, ma si perpetua nella rappresentazione dell’eterno cambiamento.\nLorenzo Ballerini e Massimo D’Amato formano un duo artistico che esplora il suono contemporaneo attraverso installazioni e performance multimediali. Il loro lavoro invita il pubblico a immergersi in nuove dimensioni sensoriali\, fondendo elementi fisici e digitali in paesaggi sonori coinvolgenti. Spinti da una passione condivisa per l’espressione innovativa\, sfocano i confini tra musica\, arte e tecnologia. Come duo\, hanno presentato le loro creazioni in festival internazionali come ADE\, Bright\, Diffrazioni e Gaida Festival. \n\n/// SYNSPECIES [audiovisual performance] La performance audiovisiva Synspecies esplora campi onirici innaturali abitati da oggetti audiovisivi in scala multipla che si mescolano\, mutano e lottano per il loro spazio e la loro esistenza. Essi co-creano un mondo di fisicità irreale\, costantemente impastato da forze violente. Queste ci appaiono come narrazioni fratturate a livello percettivo\, prendendo le sembianze di una catena di caos sincronizzato. Le SYNSPECIES si nutrono di grovigli formati da codici informatici e segnali analogici. Hanno origine dal suono algoritmico generato al computer\, dai sistemi modulari EMS Buchla e Serge di Stoccolma e dalla sintesi geometrica 3D. Le vivaci architetture astratte di SYNSPECIES fluttuano in un ambiguo tempo pulsante\, ibridando e plasmando nuovi spazi confinati in un perpetuo processo di disintegrazione. Questo progetto esplora gli stati di smarrimento e di visceralità\, incorniciati in una vastità sacra.\nTadej Droljc di origini slovene ma formatosi artisticamente in Inghilterra\, Tadej Droljc è un artista audiovisivo che lavora nell’ambito delle installazioni multimediali interattive\, utilizzando come cifra distintiva del suo percorso artistico un approccio non gerarchico alle composizioni audiovisive in tempo reale.\nI suoi lavori sono stati presentati ad Ars Electronica\, L.E.V. festival\, Brighton Digital Festival\, Semibreve\, Galerija Kapelica\, Madatac ed Athens Digital Arts Festival tra gli altri. Recentemente Tadej ha vinto il premio Lumen Prize\, la borsa di studio Dennis Smalley ed è ricercatore in composizione audiovisiva al Center for Research in New Music dell’Università di Huddersfield\, Inghilterra.\nElias Merino è un compositore e sound artist di origine spagnola\, con base a Madrid. Nella sua pratica artistica si incontrano elementi installativi\, live performance ed un approccio compositivo che agisce da collante fra computer music\, algoritmi generativi e musica elettronica contemporanea. Nelle sue produzioni si agitano narrazioni frammentarie\, alterazioni percettive spazio-temporali\, stati di trance e di contemplazione immersiva. Parallelamente alla sua produzione in solo\, che lo ha portato ad esibirsi in festival come Sonar\, MUTEK\, L.E.V.\, Semibreve\, fra gli altri\, Elias Merino è impegnato in progetti collaborativi\, come quello con Rian Treanor (Grievous Bodily Harmonics)\, e soprattutto con Tadej Droljc\, insieme al quale compone il duo av SYNSPECIES.

SUMMARY:MA/IN24 - LUNARIO
DESCRIPTION:©LOXOS (Lunaire)\n \n🎟 biglietti disponibili solo in loco \n▷ concerto  in collaborazione con Federico Nitti e Daniele Antezza\nh 21.00\n⦿ Pietro De Ruggieri  [IT] /// MARS.IYE\nlive performance \n⦿ Andrea Taeggi [IT] /// Chaoticism you can do at home \nlive performance \n⦿ Rabih Beaini [LB]\nlive performance \n\nPietro De Ruggieri È un produttore e ricercatore con base a Matera. Negli anni\, il suo interesse si è concentrato sull’approccio sperimentale alla musica bass\, spaziando dalla drone/ambient alla musica concreta. Ha condotto ricerche sul territorio iraniano riguardanti la poesia e le performance di lamentazione collettiva\, nonché il loro ruolo nella costruzione dell’ideologia rivoluzionaria. Ha pubblicato sotto diversi alias (Rodja\, Bliss Detention Center\, ‘omq) ed ha eseguito performance tra Italia e Iran. \nAndrea Taeggi è un compositore\, performer e produttore con sede a Berlino\, attivo con il suo nome o con gli alias 5HT2 e Gondwana. È anche noto per i suoi lavori con Lumisokea. Ha collaborato alla scrittura di 22 album pubblicati su vari formati da etichette come Mille Plateaux (DE)\, OOH-Sounds (IT)\, Präsens-Editionen (CH)\, Hands in The Dark (FR) e Opal Tapes (UK)\, ottenendo riscontri positivi a livello internazionale. Il suo lavoro esplora la fisicità e la dimensionalità del suono\, il potere ipnotico della ripetizione\, spaziando da esplorazioni minimaliste interamente elettroniche a territori elettro-acustici e di musique concrète. Diplomato in pianoforte al Conservatorio di Amsterdam\, Andrea ha un background come musicista free-jazz e improvvisatore. Conosciuto per le sue performance dinamiche e per l’abilità nel rielaborare il suo materiale di studio\, è stato invitato a importanti festival e venues in diversi angoli del mondo\, tra cui Cafe OTO\, CTM\, Mutek\, Moers\, ZKM e Rewire. \nMorphosis\, alias Ra.H alias Rabih Beaini\, è attivo nelle profondità del mondo sotterraneo della techno sin dagli anni ’90. Inizialmente come DJ\, è stato il trasferimento in Italia nel 1996 a fungere da catalizzatore per iniziare a sperimentare in studio. Le sue produzioni collegano i punti tra l’elettronica grezza e elementare e il jazz\, e negli ultimi sette anni la sua etichetta ha pubblicato una selezione altrettanto d’avanguardia di musica elettronica da artisti come Hieroglyphic Being\, Senyawa\, Pauline Oliveros e Anthony “Shake” Shakir. Recentemente ha avviato Morphine Raum\, uno studio di registrazione e un locale per spettacoli dal vivo che è rapidamente diventato un punto focale per la musica improvvisata ed esperimentale a Berlino.

SUMMARY:MA/IN25 - KORA①
DESCRIPTION:© Circa Tono [The Entropic Arias]\n \n🎟 biglietti disponibili solo in loco\n▷ opening / installazione\nh 20.30\n⦿ Francesco Enea Gueli [IT] /// Rimuginio\nsound installation \n▷ concerto\nh 21.00\n⦿ Amma Ateria [HK/US] /// The Entropic Arias  \nlive A/V performance \n⦿ Simone Faraci [IT] /// Xiamma\nlive performance \n\n/// Rimuginio [sound art]  (Rumination) is a sound installation that stages obsessive and circular thought through a simple\, mechanical\, and relentless gesture: a marker drawing circles on a sheet of paper. Driven by a hidden motor\, the vibrations generated are amplified through a resonant surface\, creating a raw yet vibrant sonic landscape. The work is inspired by the psychological concept of rumination: the continuous recurrence of a thought that fails to reach resolution. In this drawing machine\, imprecise yet persistent\, one can see a reflection of the human mind\, trapped within its own internal circuits. The audience is invited to participate actively: the installation detects the distance of spectators\, altering the speed of the drawing and transforming the sonic environment. Human interaction\, interpreted as a potential helping hand\, provokes deviations in the marker’s behavior. On the contrary\, a distant observer allows the device to continue its obsessive and imprecise motion undisturbed.\nFrancesco Enea Gueli /// Born in Florence in 2003\, his musical journey began at the age of five when he started studying the violin\, obtaining his Suzuki diploma and then completing his pre-academic conservatory studies. He attended the degree course in “Applied Music” at the Fiesole School of Music where he studied with Alberto Gatti and Girolamo Deraco\, and collaborated with prof. Damiano Meacci. He has attended the final year of the course as an Erasmus student at the Royal Conservatory of Madrid\, where he studied with Julián Ávila Sausor and Alberto Bernal Corral. He has taken part in masterclasses with professors Cesare Saldicco (Milan) and Hara Alonso (Stockholm). He continues his violin career\, having recently played with the Italian Youth Orchestra and the European Youth Orchestra in Madrid. He has collaborated with the Gynaikos Quartet\, which played one of his pieces in the ChorAsis exhibition space (Prato)\, and was recently selected to participate in the biennial electronic music festival In-Sonora\, which takes place in Madrid.\n \n\n/// The Entropic Arias  [A/V performance]  With ‘The Entropic Arias’\, Amma Ateria sonically encapsulates her post-concussion neurogenesis as it enters stages of maximal entropy. Out of 270 sonic fragments\, series of movements emerges —each an abstraction navigating the acceleration of entropy toward a state of equilibrium. This work unfolds as an immersive audiovisual memento and documentation\, blurring the line between collapse and emergence\, mirroring dissonance : harmony\, limerence : surrender. It invites audiences into a space where breakdowns—sonic or cognitive—become thresholds for clarity and balance for meditation. \nAmma Ateria /// is an electroacoustic composer working in psychoacoustics\, binaural beats and equal-loudness contour. Her focus remains faithful to both extremes of polarity in systemic spectrums — soft : severe\, entropy : equilibrium\, utilizing brainwave entrainment\, time shifts\, and neurological responses to DELTA\, THETA\, ALPHA\, BETA\, and GAMMA waves as material. Born in Hong Kong\, working in San Francisco and New York City —with memories of condensed cities\, she gravitates to frequencies of close-ranged airplanes\, polyrhythmic occurrences\, out-of-body experiences\, and sustained harmonics intersected with musique concrète. Ateria studied at Mills College in music composition\, specialization in electronic music\, audio engineering\, and media technology; presented works at Pioneer Works\, Titanik Gallery\, BAMPFA\, Exploratorium\, Marfa Sounding\, CCRMA Stanford University\, Cinematheque\, YBCA\, Minnesota Street Project\, Other Minds\, Recombinant Lab’\, Cone Shape Top\, Fort Mason Arts & Culture\, Gray Area\, The Lab\, SFEMF\, GAIDA Festival\, Elektronmusikstudion\, Blaues Rauschen\, The Music Gallery\, FIMAV\, Digital in Berlin\, Meakusma\, TwentyAlpha\, Silence Touch\, 2220 Arts + Archives\, Public Records. \n\n/// Xiamma [performance] is a solo electroacoustic performance emerging from research on musical form\, memory\, and the perception of time. The work deconstructs and reassembles diverse musical languages – including jazz\, hip-hop\, ambient\, rock\, and electroacoustic music – to create a continuously evolving soundscape. At its core\, Xiamma investigates the composition\, decomposition\, and recomposition of musical form\, exploring sound as a tactile material and the relationship between listening and touch. The structure is open\, with a variable duration between 15 and 50 minutes\, and is built from a sequence of independent sections – self-contained sonic ecosystems – that can be recombined in different ways for each presentation. This modular approach adapts the performance to the specific context and ensures that no two presentations are ever the same. Improvisation and live processing of sonic materials play a central role in shaping the work in real time.\nSimone Faraci /// is a composer and improviser based in Bologna\, whose artistic research focuses on improvisation and experimental electronic music. He mainly composes music for sound installations\, dance and theater\, and his live activity spans both underground and institutional contexts\, with works presented in Italy and abroad. As an improviser\, he has performed with Francesco Giomi\, Alvin Curran\, and Giancarlo Schiaffini. In 2017 he founded Minus Collettivo\, a group dedicated to electroacoustic improvisation\, with which he has performed at several internationally renowned festivals. Since 2019 he has collaborated with TREE (Tempo Reale Electroacoustic Ensemble)\, with which he has performed numerous concerts and released albums with the French label Elli Records. His discography includes solo releases (Echo ex Machina\, 2021; Mføku\, 2023) as well as several albums with Minus Collettivo and TREE. He teaches Electroacoustic Music Composition at the Bologna Conservatory and is coordinator of educational activities at Tempo Reale.

How truthful and courageous can you truly be? – L’amour pur is a collaboration with composer and sound designer Victor Zheng for engineering and live electronics for the live performance.\nLiann J. Kang /// Born in Seoul\, South Korea\, Liann J. Kang is a composer residing in the US. In her work\, she seeks to direct the audience’s perception of sound and space altered by crafted sonic illusions. Inspired by her own synesthesia\, her compositions stimulate not only hearing\, but all the senses collectively to each awaken uniquely in response to the temporal art of music. Kang is a 2025 Tanglewood Music Center Composition Fellow and has received 2025 ICMC Best Student Music Award\, First Prize of the 2024 Sweetwater/SEAMUS Commission Award\, and 2024 Kate Neal Kinley Memorial Fellowship. Her works have featured internationally at events and conferences including SEAMUS\, EMM\, NYCEMF\, ICMC\, Napoleon Electronic Media Festival\, CHIMEFest at University of Chicago\, Sound Spaces in Malmö\, Sweden. Her primary teachers have included Philippe Hurel\, Yan Maresz\, João Pedro Oliveira\, Eli Fieldsteel\, and has previously had masterclasses led by Kaija Saariaho and John Harbison. Currently\, Kang is a doctoral candidate in composition-theory at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, where she also earned her Master of Music.\nElonora Claps [soprano] /// Born in Lucania\, she studied at the “G. Martucci” Conservatory of Salerno under E. Scatarzi and specialized with A. Caiello\, J. Fraser\, Sarah Maria Sun\, and D. M.-Dansac\, attending institutions such as the Royaumont Foundation\, John-Cage-Orgel Foundation\, Darmstädter Ferienkurse\, and Verona Opera Academy. Her repertoire embraces a wide range of vocal styles with a strong focus on 20th-century and contemporary music\, both acoustic and electroacoustic. She collaborates with composers\, ensembles\, and research centers such as the CRM in Rome and the Conservatory of Salerno\, and she performs regularly in international festivals and venues\, including the Venice Biennale\, Auditorium Parco della Musica (Rome)\, San Fedele (Milan)\, and the Abrons Art Center (New York). A finalist of the “Premio Bucchi Interpretazione 2015\,” she has premiered numerous works\, with commissions dedicated to her at SpazioMusica and the MA/IN Festival. Her repertoire includes works by Berio\, Cage\, Ligeti\, and Kurtág\, and she has recorded for Stradivarius\, Edizioni Scientifiche\, and Cesmel. \n\n/// Laminar Flow [performance] In fluid dynamics\, laminar flow describes the motion of infinitesimal layers sliding in parallel\, without turbulence or mixing\, each preserving its own molecular composition. Even at a microscopic level\, every section remains distinct\, yet the overall result is a single coherent flow\, shaped by the sum of its trajectories. This principle inspires Laminar Flow\, an electroacoustic improvisation in which three sound currents — Andrea Fabris’ drums and live electronics\, Riccardo Tesorini’s modular synthesizers\, and Biagio Cavallo’s digital processing — evolve as independent yet complementary layers\, intertwining into a shared continuum. Subtle timbral and dynamic variations shape a landscape in constant expansion and contraction\, evoking the tension and cohesion of a collective ritual. In this way\, the trio Haou Nebout envisions a sonic world where distinct musical currents intertwine\, echoing the measured flow of individual elements — a living space where sound is inhabited\, constructed\, and transformed\, and where performers and listeners become part of the same\, ever-evolving ritual.\nHaou Nebout /// is an electroacoustic trio based in Bologna (IT)\, featuring Biagio Cavallo (laptop)\, Andrea Fabris (drums\, live electronics)\, and Riccardo Tesorini (synthesizers\, samplers). The group explores the intersections of non-idiomatic improvisation and new territories of sound research\, developing a sonic landscape where the archaic meets the post-human\, and apocalyptic imagery evokes a return to the origins. Recently\, they have collaborated with the label Small Forms (Wien) on their first album\, released in December 2024. Since 2023\, they have been touring Europe presenting frontal electroacoustic improvisation\, multi- channel performances\, and sound installation\n \n\n/// Concrete Casings [A/V performance] The outskirts of Rome are dotted with intentions and ideas that were never brought to fruition. Illegal construction\, rigged contracts\, and neglect have resulted in the proliferation of abandoned construction sites\, destined to remain an indelible testimony to such errors. These dilapidated exoskeletons are memories like fossils from past epochs. The unfinished structures\, left incomplete\, tell stories of unfulfilled promises and shattered dreams. Instead of being vibrant and prosperous\, the peripheral neighborhoods host these carcasses of concrete and steel that degrade the urban environment and scar the landscape. Each abandoned building carries with it a narrative of corruption and inefficiency\, a story of betrayed hopes and wasted resources. The rusted scaffolding and incomplete walls are silent monuments to mismanagement\, a perpetual warning of the consequences of greed and negligence. These urban skeletons\, though immobile and silent\, scream a reality too often ignored. They are the tangible proof of a system in dire need of profound reforms and a new vision\, one that can transform intentions into accomplished actions and restore dignity and beauty to Rome’s outskirts.\nTouchy Toy ///  was founded in 2021 by Gabriele Petrillo\, Andrea Lupo\, and Matteo Camerini\, classmates in Electronic Music Composition at Saint Louis College of Music in Rome. In 2023\, Christian D’Amico and David Quintarelli joined the collective. Their work explores the interplay between technology and aesthetics through sound installations\, audiovisual performances\, and musical compositions. Inspired by a utopian vision of the digital age\, their style blends pop culture references with semantic short-circuits. Touchy Toy has presented works at festivals and venues such as Ladispolaneamente\, CIM (Colloquio di Informatica Musicale)\, Palazzo Brancaccio (LCF)\, Nuovo Cinema Aquila (LPM)\, and Brancaleone\, often experimenting with live coding. Their A/V performance Concrete Casings premiered at the Visual Sound Festival (Nuovo Cinema Aquila) and was later showcased at PatchLab Festival (Kraków)\, D-CAF (Cairo)\, Chromosphere at Fotonica 2024 (dome version) and Videocittà 2025.

Monoscreen. 2018 Visuals : Noemi Schipfer / Music : Takami Nakamoto\nNONOTAK ///  was born from the collaboration between architect musican Takami Nakamoto and visual artist Noemi Schipfer back in late 2011. The duo embodies that merge of architecture\, spatial design\, music and sound. From creating dreamlike environments to performances using light and sound installations\, NONOTAK present their own format of art to the world. Combining Noemi Schipfer’s experience in kinetic visual and Takami Nakamato’s approach of space and sound\, the studio creates ethereal environments immersing the viewer. \n\nPercées de lumière [mixed media] /// is an audiovisual performance by composer Tomislav Oliver (music) and video artist Goran Nježić\, that explores new sonic potentials of acoustic instruments within electronic music\, composition\, and improvisation. Inspired by the “no-input mixer” practices of Toshimaru Nakamura and Marko Ciciliani\, the piece investigates feedback as it interacts with the material “architectures” of wind instruments. Treating the saxophone’s resonating chamber as a feedback generator\, the instrument is reimagined as a modular system that transcends its traditional idiom. The visual concept draws on the Espace de projection hall where the work was performed\, its modular underground design virtually deconstructed and rearranged. A 3D reconstruction of one wall was manipulated—perforated\, rotated\, relit\, and reframed—to create shifting perspectives. Echoing the sonic process\, the video recontextualizes performance space through layered experiments with light\, shadow\, and architectural fragmentation. As an homage to Gordon Matta-Clark\, the piece explores the imperceptible and the interplay of visual and auditory spaces through the poetics of feedback and the stillness of noise.\nTomislav Oliver ///  is a composer and musicologist blending electronic\, noise\, and contemporary composition. Trained at Zagreb\, Salzburg\, Barcelona\, Graz and IRCAM’s Cursus (2023)\, his works span solo\, chamber\, orchestral\, audiovisual\, and dance contexts. Founder of the NAE collective of musicians and visual artists\, he teaches at the Zagreb Music Academy and is active as a director of Music Biennale Zagreb.\nGoran Nježić ///  is active as a filmmaker\, artist\, producer\, and musician\, with numerous well-received exhibitions\, short films\, video projects and music albums. He is the co-founder of the B.A.K.A. platform\, an association focused on the production of audiovisual works and cultural projects within the regional independent art scene. He is the author of several short films\, including the award-winning When I Wake Up (2020) and The Clouds Are Far Away (2021). As a member of the bands ### and Punčke\, he has released several albums for LAA and PDV Records and has performed across Europe and Asia.\nAndrea Carrozzo [saxophone] is graduated with honors at Conservatory of Monopoli and at CRR de Lyon under the guidance of Vittorio Cerasa and Jean-Denis Michat. He is winner of several national and international competitions. He was a finalist at “ProMusica” International Saxophone Competition in Iasi (Romania). He was 1st prize at the “Adolphe Sax” International Saxophone Competition in Castelbuono (Italy) and he was seleted to participate at the 7th Concours International “Adolphe Sax” in Dinant (Belgium). He has taken part – performing in Italy and abroad (Belgium\, Croatia\, France\, Indonesia\, Romania and Spain) both as a soloist and in chamber ensembles – in many musical festivals including: “Festivalul international de Clarinet si Saxofon” in Iasi\, “Festival Silence”\, “XVIII World Saxophone Congress” in Zagreb\, “Assoli VI” organized by Accademia Filarmonica Romana\, “EiSaxional Week” (Canary Islands\, Spain)\, “Festival 5 Giornate”\, “Jeans Music Festival”\, “XIX World Saxophone Congress” in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria\, “Festival di Bellagio e del Lago di Como”\, “MaGO Sax 25”.

He works closely with prominent composers and has significantly expanded the cello repertoire\, ranging from instrumental music to avant-garde theater\, electronic music\, and video installations. He has premiered works by Georges Aperghis\, Ivan Fedele\, Bernhard Gander\, Fabio Vacchi\, Alessandro Solbiati\, Lucia Ronchetti\, Noriko Baba\, Filippo Perocco\, Matteo Franceschini\, Vittorio Montalti\, Federico Gardella\, Zeno Baldi\, and Pasquale Corrado\, among many others. He performed the world premiere of Salvatore Sciarrino’s Linee d’aria for cello and orchestra\, composed for him\, and Ivan Fedele dedicated his 3rd Cello Concerto to Rossi. He has also collaborated with Enno Poppe\, Helmut Lachenmann\, Unsuk Chin\, Klaus Huber\, and Ennio Morricone. Rossi brings his solo recitals to all major concert seasons in Italy and premiered Luis de Pablo’s 2nd Cello Concerto with the Orchestra del Comunale di Bologna conducted by Oksana Lyniv\, Goffredo Petrassi’s Adagio e Minuetto variato with the Orchestra di Padova e del Veneto conducted by Marco Angius\, and Sofia Gubaidulina’s Seven Words conducted by Kent Nagano with the Haydn Orchestra of Bolzano and Trento. He also develops cross-disciplinary projects\, collaborating with Andrea Camilleri\, Valerio Magrelli\, Nicola Piovani\, and leading Italian and international ensembles. He regularly participates in musical and educational programs on Rai Radio3\, and in 2022 he received the Abbiati Award for Recording from the Italian National Association of Music Critics for his complete recording of Ivan Fedele’s cello music (Kairos). Since 2023\, he has collaborated with Archi Magazine\, curating a series of conversations with leading contemporary composers and pursuing a cross-disciplinary project to promote contemporary music to diverse audiences\, from traditional concert seasons and experimental festivals to young listeners in schools and radio audiences. \n\n/// FIELD is based on the idea that sounds can emerge from the electromagnetic fields that are omnipresent in our environment. This performance reveals these invisible forces\, essential and imperceptible to the eye and ear\, which orchestrate our gestures and movements. Residual electrical signals are picked up by electromagnetic transducer microphones. Recorded beforehand\, they then become Martin Messier’s raw materials. On stage\, the artist interacts with two aluminum panels\, linked by a network of cables that he continually connects and disconnects\, generating a choreography of sound and light. From these repeated gestures\, a hypnotic composition emerges. Evolving in an infinite loop\, each iteration\, though familiar\, is different. The visual power of the work\, evoked by electrical conduction and lightning-like flashes of light\, plunges viewers into a state of fascination. This revelation of electromagnetic forces brings us closer to their mystery\, making the inaccessible tangible. With surgical synchronization of light and sound\, and shadow effects that animate a constantly changing landscape\, Field is a landmark project in Martin Messier’s artistic research.\nMartin Messier ///  orchestrates a dialogue between sound\, light and movement. His award-winning performances and installations (Prix Ars Electronica\, Japan Media Arts Awards…) combine technologies with natural elements – water\, smoke\, waves\, electricity – and explore the manifestation of physical phenomena. His works take the form of astonishing machines\, structures that appear minimalist or immaterial. These devices are presented at major international institutions such as Festival TransAmériques\, Trafó Budapest\, Mutek\, Transmediale\, Sonar and Nemo.\n \n\n

It will be presented as an audio-video live show characterized by a powerful visual and acoustic impact: the themes\, represented with raw sincerity\, are related to current events\, climate change\, and humankind’s effect on the earth. GREY LINE leads the audience inside a thoughtful analysis of the world’s current situation. Programming has a central role in the work of the artistic collective; “crafting” audio and video instruments allows complete and unique control over the production and manipulation of sounds and images in real-time and over their interaction. SPIME.IM exploits a wide variety of audio/video digital processing techniques\, including databending and datamoshing\, AI-assisted video synthesis\, computer vision analysis and tracking\, spectral processing\, 3D graphics\, and automated audio-video montage—The programming languages the collective uses the most are GLSL\, C\, Javascript\, Csound\, Reaktor\, and Max/MSP. Of the latter\, a SPIME.IM member\, Matteo Marson\, is a developer at Cycling ’74\, alongside his role as a University lecturer of “multimedia programming for the arts. The complexity of the modern world is reflected in the shades of gray\, emphasizing the nuances of human experience and the multifaceted decisions we must make to survive and thrive in an interconnected\, globalized society. The interplay between light and dark\, good and bad\, highlights that the modern world is not composed of absolutes but instead of an intricate mosaic of shades of gray that requires careful consideration and thoughtful action. Starting from the exposure\, the assimilation\, and the analysis of the continuous media bombing\, in an attempt to define this “era of the absurd” we are living in\, also named “the wrong timeline\,” SPIME.IM tries to describe the emotional place in which we are trapped.\nSPIME.IM /// is an artistic collective that creates transmedia projects investigating the aesthetics and languages derived from the affirmation of digital reality. The themes they explore mainly revolve around the boundaries of identity\, corporeality\, and the perception of the human being in the absurd times mankind is facing. Using various types of aesthetics such as news footage\, memes\, and computer-generated images\, they aim to draw connections between contemporary events and abstract insights\, with the intention of making sense of it all or perhaps simply romanticizing the chaos. They have presented their work at international digital art festivals such as Mutek (Canada\, Japan\, and Spain)\, Ars Electronica\, Club to Club\, Lunchmeat\, Stereolux\, and L.E.V. Additionally\, they presented their latest multimedia production\, “The End Of The World\,” at the Barbican Centre in London with internationally renowned pianist and composer Lubomyr Melnyk\, cellist Julia Kent\, the vocal group Shards\, and soprano Elina Netšajeva.

Rather than presenting a fixed composition\, Hoshiko Yamane and Makoto Sakamoto develop musical form through continuous listening\, interaction\, and response. The electric violin functions as part of a live electronic system in which signal processing\, feedback\, resonance\, and spatial projection continuously influence one another. Layers of sound gradually reveal shifting harmonic relationships while moments of density and silence reshape the perception of time and space. Rather than telling a complete narrative\, the performance offers fragments from which listeners may discover their own journeys. Memories\, personal associations\, and imagined stories emerge differently for each individual\, making every experience unique. Each realization responds to the acoustic characteristics of the venue and the conditions of the moment\, creating a sonic architecture that exists only through the interaction between performers\, space\, and audience.\nYamane + Sakamoto/// A duo featuring Hoshiko Yamane\, violinist of Tangerine Dream and classically trained composer\, and Makoto Sakamoto\, who shapes live electronic spaces through sound construction and real-time processing. Within Sakamoto’s layered waves of abstract\, quasi-mechanical tones and dense noise textures\, harmonic structures begin to emerge. Yamane’s razor-sharp precision and distinctly classical expressiveness move through this shifting field—at times merging with it\, at times cutting through it with striking clarity. Their performances are marked by intensity\, control\, and a strong sense of structure.\n \n\n/// Tactile  [A/V performance] cineconcerto by Leonardo Carrano Through a stereoscopic vision\, the film investigates the evolutions of the matter that organically inhabits the 35mm film\, staging a tactile and sensitive perception that\, abandoning the ocular scopic regime\, plunges into an incorporeal experience where unconscious humanity and interstellar universes seem to touch. The music\, composed and performed live by Francesco Massaro\, seeks a non-literal relationship with the image\, while remaining faithful to the director’s creative processes; thus creating a double within a double\, in which the sound also follows the subversion of the natural order of the senses\, seeking itself to be touched.\nFrancesco Massaro/// Sax player\, composer and sound artist whose practice unfolds at the intersection of improvisation\, composition\, and sonic research. Working with saxophones\, clarinets and live electronics\, he investigates sound as a material\, embodied\, and perceptual phenomenon\, developing performance environments in which acoustic and electronic processes continuously reshape one another. His work treats the instrument as an unstable and evolving system\, where feedback\, resonance\, friction\, and micro-variation become compositional forces. Situated within a fluid territory spanning experimental music\, avant-jazz\, contemporary composition\, electronic practices\, and ethnic traditions\, his artistic research explores emergent forms\, relational listening\, and the poetics of transformation. His projects frequently extend beyond music\, engaging dialogue with space\, image\, language\, and the body. A student of Gianni Lenoci\, Massaro has received recognition from institutions and critics. He has presented his work throughout Italy and Europe at festivals and venues dedicated to contemporary sound practices\, including AngelicA\, Tempo Reale and Area Sismica.\n \n\n/// Somatic Resonance [multimedia installation] Somatic Resonance investigates the transmutation of biological data into mechanical energy\, exploring the threshold where the organic body merges with digital and sonic infrastructure. Visitors’ heartbeats\, detected by biometric sensors\, are extracted and re-injected into a synthetic structure. Membranes are set into vibration by electroacoustic transducers\, manifesting digital flesh through sub-low frequencies that act directly on matter. A system of translucent communicating vessels acts as an informational circulatory apparatus\, connecting the human body to the machine in a visceral flow of data. The work shifts the focus from the visual representation of flesh to its vibratory persistence\, transforming the exhibition space into a sensitive organism. When multiple users interact simultaneously\, the installation evolves into a collective ecosystem generating interference. In this tension between synchrony and chaos\, Somatic Resonance seeks to redefine sound and technology as a disturbing extension of the human nervous system.\nre_derma /// is a multimedia artistic duo born as a collective in 2024\, active in installation\, performative digital practices\, and audiovisual live-sets. Their research investigates the body in its most intimate and carnal relationship with technology and structures of power\, focusing on the contemporary digital ecosystem: Artificial Intelligence\, biohacking\, and the digitalization of desire and the body. The project takes shape in interactive installations\, experiential spaces\, A/V performances\, and multi-screen scenographies. Within these environments\, technology becomes an extension of the body\, and the subjectivities that move through the works are invited into an active engagement that destructures the logics of control and questions the boundaries between real and virtual\, turning the body into a transducer of impulses. The collective has presented its work in contexts such as LIMINAL SPACE\, Studio Tiepolo 38\, the Academy of Fine Arts of Rome\, Manifatture Knos (Lecce)\, and Parsec (Bologna)\, as well as in Roman venues such as Esc Atelier\, Casa delle Donne di Roma\, Trenta Formiche\, La Redazione di Scomodo\, Forte Prenestino\, Alibi Club\, and Angelo Mai. \n\n\n     \n\n         \n\n© Yamane + Sakamoto\n     \n\n         \n\n© Francesco Massaro

Over more than three decades\, Fennesz has redefined the possibilities of the electric guitar\, transforming it through digital processing into vast\, immersive soundscapes where melody\, noise\, and texture merge seamlessly. Mosaic unfolds as a series of interconnected sonic fragments—shimmering harmonies\, fractured rhythms\, and luminous distortions that constantly shift between abstraction and emotional immediacy. Rather than reproducing the album on stage\, Fennesz’s live performances evolve in the moment\, balancing meticulous sound design with improvisation and spontaneity. The result is a deeply atmospheric experience that invites listeners into a world where fragile beauty emerges from digital complexity\, confirming Fennesz as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary electronic music.\nFENNESZ ///  is the solo project of Austrian musician\, composer\, and sound artist Christian Fennesz (b. 1962\, Vienna). Since the early 1990s\, he has been one of the most influential figures in electronic and experimental music\, renowned for his distinctive fusion of guitar\, digital processing\, noise\, and ambient textures. International recognition came with Endless Summer (2001)\, now regarded as a landmark of electronic music. Acclaimed albums including Venice (2004)\, Black Sea (2008)\, Bécs (2014)\, Agora (2019)\, and Mosaic (2024) further developed his singular sonic language. Alongside his solo work\, Fennesz has collaborated with artists such as Ryuichi Sakamoto\, Alva Noto\, David Sylvian\, Jim O’Rourke\, Keith Rowe\, King Midas Sound\, and Lillevan. Performing worldwide for over three decades\, his live shows combine improvisation\, intricate sound design\, and emotional depth\, establishing him as one of the defining voices in contemporary electronic music. \n\nBreath VI [mixed media] /// Since 2020\, I have been developing a composition series titled Breath. This series explores the delicate interplay between noise and pitch\, aiming to articulate the subtle nuances and gentle gestures of sound. My goal is to weave together diverse sonic materials\, creating a rich mosaic where each sound resonates with purpose. By 2024\, I had composed six pieces in the Breath series\, each employing distinct instrumentation for varied sonic purposes\, providing multiple musical and conceptual perspectives on the theme of “breath.” Breath VI\, composed for accordion virtuoso Anthony Millet\, premiered at the ManiFeste Academy Festival\, IRCAM in June 2024. In this piece\, I employ electronics as an inner voice within the sound envelope\, enhancing the acoustic instrument with vivid and nuanced movements of inner voices. The fixed media and live electronics animate the accordion’s sound\, transforming the soundscape into a variety of sonic shapes\, gestures\, and expressions\, thereby adding depth to the sound.\nGeli Li /// is a Chinese-American composer whose musical journey spans Asia\, Europe\, and the United States. With over two decades of experience as a contemporary classical composer\, she has cultivated a prolific portfolio spanning both acoustic and electronic media\, advancing Eastern and Western musical traditions through a distinctive contemporary idiom.

It invites a way of looking and listening without thinking or a fixed purpose\, as an exploration of my own aesthetics. The work moves from reaction diffusion textures\, to a familiar unreal sky built from layered noise\, and finally to magnetic fields shaped by the interaction between the magnetosphere and the solar wind. These invisible forces are close to daily life and can be felt as gentle shifts in rhythm and attention. Images follow the field’s direction and intensity\, while sound moves between near silence and noise.\nHuang Wei ///  is an audio-visual artist based in Taipei. His work centers on observations of everyday life\, transforming non-ordinary visual experiences into familiar contexts through intuitive imagination of objects and systems. Explores how image and sound operate together to enhance a sense of reality and immersion\, while incorporating his personal aesthetic sensibility. In recent years\, his practice has focused on algorithm-based image and sound systems\, developing real-time performance formats. His works have been presented at major events including the Lacking Sound Festival. In 2021\, he was selected for the Taiwan Sound Lab (TSL) residency program. He performed at TUNNEL TOKYO in 2023 and WeSA Festival in Seoul in 2024. Between 2021 and 2024\, he presented multiple dome-based immersive works at FUTURE VISION LAB\, and in 2024\, his works were selected for SAT Fest and the Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF) \n\nIcarus vs Muzak /// is the continuation of the successful experience that was Icarus Junior – first youth ensemble founded and overseen by Icarus Ensemble in 2007. Their first production\, under the direction of Francesco Micheli\, was live streamed or RaiRadio3. Later\, Icarus produced “Prove di volo” for amplified instruments\, elecrtonics and video (created by Otolab and MartinenFabrik). “Prove di volo” was performed in San Francisco (Spring Festival of the Bay Area in collaboration with Italian institute of Culture) and in various italian cities. The following program\, “The Dark Side of the Moon-Revisited” with MartinenFabrik’s video art\, was performed in Zagreb Bienniale in 2009. Icarus Junior members took part in projects in Dijon\, Milan\, Cairo and Alexandria. “Soli Deo Gloria” was performed within the homonymous festival in Reggio Emilia in 2010\, with replies in Mantova\, Belfort\, Milan\, Modena. In 2014 “Cervelli in fuga”\, collection of youg italian composers in Paris\, was performed in Madrid\, Avila\, Milan/Brera\, Reggio Emilia. Icarus vs Muzak started his activity with various concerts based on percussions and the new current ensemble. The ensemble produced several programs for Maramotti Art Collection\, ranging from Terry Riley’s “In C” to a mixed Crumb/Guo Wengjing program. In 2017 the ensemble started a residency in Brera Academy (Milan)\, still ongoing\, in collaboration with Amici di Musica/Realtà. The resulting productions\, whether independent or shared with Icarus Ensemble\, are significant. Among those\, “Sinestesie” was created on the occasion of Brera Academy’s Open Day\, in collaboration with Brera Art Gallery: they performed Melchiorre’s “Unreported”\, an opera about Ustica air disaster\, created together with Associazione parenti delle vittime di Ustica\, with replies in Reggio Emilia and Bologna.

SUMMARY:MA/IN[X] - Interférences  | Tanah Tanah
DESCRIPTION:©Mutek Montreal [Interférences] \n🎟 ticket in vendita presso il  Teatro Guerrieri fino esaurimento posti\n▷ apertura porte h 20.00\n \n▷ concerto\nh 20.30\n⦿ Alexis Langevin-Tétrault [CA] /// Interférences\nlive performance \nh 21.00\n⦿ Rami Syahbandi [ID] /// Tanah Tanah\nA/V percussion performance \n\n/// Interférence (String Network) is an audiovisual performance that explores the possibilities of embodiment of an electroacoustic work in real time through gestural interaction with a unique device. On stage\, an audioreactive play of light unfolds gradually: Alexis Langevin-Tétrault builds a network of strings with which he interacts to create a sound universe between the industrial noise\, electronica and acousmatic music. Through the staging of corporality and the dialectical relationship between the human and the machine\, Interférences (String Network) presents an allegory of the globalized and interconnected modern world in which the individual seeks to derive meaning from his experience and attempts to preserve its freedom of action. Alexis Langevin-Tétrault proposes a singular universe and infuses a live dynamic to a musical genre rarely incarnated by performance.\nAlexis Langevin-Tétrault /// is an interdisciplinary artist and composer based in Montreal and born in Baie-Comeau\, Canada. He has contributed to a variety of projects such as the collectives Aubes\, Falaises\, DATANOISE\, QUADr and ILEA\, in addition to solo audiovisual performances such as REPLIKAS\, Hypercube (one) and Interférences (String Network). His work explores the concept of corporality and is characterized by the design of audiovisual devices\, physical performance\, scenographic and dramaturgic work\, exploration of sound synthesis\, and also conceptual and social reflection. His work has been presented in more than 110 international events and 25 countries\, such as Ars Electronica (AT)\, L.E.V. (ESP)\, MUTEK (CA)(ES)(JP)\, Biennale NÉMO (FR)\, Transart (IT)\, ADAF (GR)\, Intonal (SWE)\, NEXT (SVK)\, BIAN-Elektra (CA)\, ISEA (KR)(CA)\, Akousma (CA) and Espace du son (BE). Alexis Langevin-Tétrault also released more than 20 electronic music albums. His audio work was rewarded by Foundation Destellos (AR) in 2014 and 2015\, by SOCAN Foundation (CA) in 2015\, and also by Exhibitronic Festival (FR)\, International Electroacoustic Music Week (FR) and fondation Musiques & Recherches (BE) in 2016. \n\n/// Tanah Tanah is a cross-disciplinary electronic media work that combines audio\, visual\, and performative installation as an experimental medium to examine the ecological\, social\, and economic relationships behind illegal gold mining practices in the interior of West Kalimantan. This work utilizes an ecological soundscape approach and photographic visual architecture to form a sensory narrative that connects data\, landscape\, and experience. Technically\, the installation utilizes two 12-inch subwoofer speaker systems that emit infrasonic signals to trigger rhythmic patterns that function as both musical instruments and sound sources.\nRami Syahbandi /// is a Pontianak-based sound and visual artist whose work explores socio-environmental and cultural convergence through electronic media\, installations\, and visual art. He has been involved in and worked on a variety of projects\, ranging from acoustic compositions to video works\, electronic music production\, engineering\, media installations\, and multi-channel audio.\n \n\n\n     \n\n         \n\n© Alexis Langevin-Tétrault\n     \n\n         \n\n© Rami Syahbandi
