/// WUNDERKAMMER [mixed media] is a musical project by Azione_Improvvisa Ensemble that places the relationship between listening, space, and wonder at its core. The dimension of the solo and that of the ensemble alternate and intertwine, generating contrasts and continuities that reveal ever-changing perspectives on the sonic material. The program develops around rhythmic and timbral densities, which form its generative nucleus: dense, pulsating textures encounter rarefied and suspended moments, in a play of tension and release where the listening space expands, amplifies, or contracts together with the sound. Through works by Mauro Lanza, Anna Sowa, Roberto Vetrano, and Maurizio Azzan, Wunderkammer creates an environment in which heterogeneous fragments come together like in a cabinet of wonders: each piece is a unique sonic object, whose strength emerges in its relation to the others and to the space that embraces it.
Azione_Improvvisa ///  founded in 2017, is one of Italy’s emerging contemporary music ensembles, with a unique lineup featuring accordion, electric guitar, theorbo, and electronics. The ensemble’s highly unusual formation focuses on exploring new sound identities within the context of contemporary music, bringing together diverse musical approaches and experiences in a synergistic dialogue between instruments from different eras. Azione_Improvvisa is committed to placing diverse voices and perspectives at the center of its musical projects. Due to its distinctive instrumentation, the group’s repertoire is entirely based on works written specifically for the quartet by both established and emerging composers, including Farzia Fallah, Lula Romero, Marco Momi, Zeno Baldi, Mauro Lanza, Einike Leppik, Silvia Borzelli. The ensemble has performed at several renowned festivals in Italy and abroad, such as Transart (Bolzano), Commute Festival (Tallinn), Kortrijk Festival (Kortrijk), Musica Insieme Festival (Panicale), and OpenDays (Aalborg). Their discography includes Parade (Guitart Label, 2019), First Glimpse (Ars Spoletium, 2020), and their latest album SEEDs (EMA Vinci, 2023). Margherita Berlanda [accordion],
Pierpaolo Dinapoli [guitars], Andrea Antonel [theorbo], Davide Bardi [electronics].

/// GREY LINE [A/V performance] is an A/V show by the media art collective SPIME.IM. 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.
SPIME.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.
