PROPOSTE SONORE

"10 perturbazioni..." is an installation-composition in which a microphone

begins to resume, in continuous recording, the sound external to the

room (place) of listening.

Subsequent treatments of the starting sound material (with subsequent

diffusions of the "treated" sound) go to make up an informational circle:

the sound produces information, information produces other sound that is

in turn analyzed and so on. In the installation the sound is projected

employing some mini-direct induction diffusers, which make the surface

with which they are in contact vibrate. In this way the sound is "colored"

by the specific type of surface (resonant) material. The work is designed

to interact with any sound expression detectable in the environment, thus

including any musicians that establish a sound and behavior related to

the operating system.

It is a site-specific work as it depends in a structural way by the type of

sound that occurs outside-inside of the place of listening; It is also room-

dependent because the result is strongly influenced by the materials and

the acoustic characteristics of the place itself.
