“Spherical sounds” is a performative installation that is based on the use of speakers in order to reproduce at 360 degrees.
In this specific case, lower from the ceiling are the “Grunding Audiorama”, and in the performance phase, the speakers are turned and rotated in the field, forming ellipses and in this way, creating sound interference pattern (in italian battimenti) and particular resonances.
Here you can also use a loudspeaker with a rotating motor, such as Leslie.
This convulsive response of mass sound in the sorrounding environment creates a convulsive effect. Everywhereis possible to move in the space to listen and assorb details of sound different. I want to understand that music is space.

Performance of the song “Chapter 10” from the album Eterna ³ ³ ⁸ ⁸, re-adaptation for choir, percussion and magnetic tape.
The song originally composed in the studio, was born by processing choirs recorded in multitrack managing intonation and length, and enriched by pointillism of samples from symphonic percussion, all arranged through the use of tape recorders and analog instrumentation. The piece is fundamentally focused on electronic music that on this occasion is reworked in an acoustic key with a sort of primitive fascination towards sacred music, integrating the voices and percussions sampled by a small ensemble formed by ten voices and two percussionists.

“Fluxus Naif” is an action performance held by Luce Celestiale, an Italian-Spanish duo formed by Lorena Serrano Rodriguez and Devid Ciampalini, where acoustic sounds and tape recordings intertwine reality and fiction. The result that arises from these interactions becomes matter, which is imprinted on the canvas, drawing the sound flow as if on a pentagram. Inspired by happenings, it repeats itself in a situationist manner bringing an improvisational approach. The sounds can also be reproduced by the audience themselves through microphones, then processed in real time or used the microphones themselves as brushes. This swirl of noise is reflected on the canvas, where the moment is imprinted.

It is a hybrid live performance, it can be an installation or make use of the acoustic implementation of the venue. The conception is a wet electronic sound, full of reverb. After being recorded, the sample passes through reel to reel, spring reverb and tape echo to be played in caves or on different speakers facing wet metal surfaces, simulating the famous plate reverb effect. Over the years this project has been brought to various situations, from which the homonymous album “Sorgente” was released.

Installations of amplification to object and guttural sounds, they use contact and panoramic microphones to capture noises of a complete meal, including drinks. The disarming simplicity of this message leads us to investigate what the boundary is between the conceptual and the performative, just as any primitive action brings with it a harmonious structure.
Galleria Lato – Prato
“To various speakers” is a multi-channel installation, on directional supports and vibrating surfaces. Dialogue with sound sources, physically interacting with the sound. By investigating the physics of sound, therefore simply by blocking or otherwise soliciting the speakers, we can observe how to move through these behaviors and use them to our personal taste for compositions or improvisations.

Site Specific sound system, this fascination for uncontaminated places feeds from environmental has been repeated in various places since 2013. Inspired by nature, this is a immersive process of sounds emulation and meditation.

XWA, is the title of an active audio-visual project.
An aesthetic transfiguration of the moment, like teleporting into an introspective dimension free from formal concept of an exhibition.
The installation is divided into three Part. The first is the visual one, in which space is transformed into something unique and unique. The return to a primordial past, raw materials shaped by nature simply exposed as work of art of the material of which we ourselves are part. Arranged in an aesthetically pleasing way, it will be possible to smell, touch and move between granite stones, ferns, dry shrubs and more. The dim light will give the sensation of a visual hallucination; shadows behind white sheets, as per frame a this “new world” in which hypnotic projections of lands are contrasted with aseptic spaces.
The second is the auditory one, sound has fundamental importance in this installation and is the medium that we have to reach our SELF, like the sound of the universe, before creation.
Frequencies from 20 to 20000Hz will begin as a thematic journey, going beyond audible frequencies by man, bordering on a true experimental psychoacoustic treatment.
The sequel is the third part, the performative one which is based on the creation of the universe the formation of rock, with magnetic tapes and contact microphones I will try to reproduce the chipping of the stone, concrete and almost visible to the eye, the result is so effective. An infinite circulatory movement, like a concentration of forces that are lost, conquered, in hyperspace.
It will be like having participated in the beginning of everything in 120 minutes of awesomeness.

** This is a summary data sheet because clearly assembling the installation requires sophistication on site, first of the setup it is not possible to know how much material we will use (5/6 hours of work).
I think it’s all easy to find material, if you too can help us in the research, or that perhaps you already have warehouses, of something specified above would be excellent. Everything could be useful.
