Fluid bronze
stereo - 01.00 - 2021
Program notes - eng
“Fluid bronze” is composed exclusively of sounds produced by gongs of different sizes and played in an unconventional way. Starting from the hard material, the intention has been to create a soft, enveloping and floating mass in which to get lost and warm up. The hardness that produces its opposite.

“Fluid bronze” è stata composta esclusivamente da suoni prodotti da gong di diverse dimensioni e suonati in modo non convenzionale. Partendo dal materiale duro, l'intenzione è stata quella di creare una massa morbida, avvolgente e fluttuante in cui perdersi e riscaldarsi. La durezza che produce il suo contrario.

Contracted chest
stereo - 04.33 - 2020
Program notes - eng
The radio was the invention that contracted the chest to the world. Noise is its foundation.
"Contracted chest" is constructed entirely from manipulated noise and concrete sounds. The composition is a short narration of some moments of a day seen by an external observer: the listener, the voyeur who sees everything and hears everything. But vision and listening can never be clear, the veil of noise dominates impassive in its movement and presence.
Program notes - ita
La radio è stata l'invenzione che ha contratto il petto al mondo. Il rumore è il suo fondamento.
"Contracted chest" è costruita interamente da rumore manipolato e suoni concreti. La composizione è un breve racconto di alcuni momenti di una giornata visti da un osservatore esterno: l'ascoltatore, il voyeur che tutto vede e tutto sente. Ma la visione e l'ascolto non possono mai essere nitidi, il velo del rumore domina impassibile nel suo movimento e nella sua presenza.

Eclipse in the Great Mother
stereo - 05.06 - 2019
Program notes - eng
Eclipse in the Great Mother. A slow and soft slip into the universal mother's womb. Heat and mystery. The return to the origin, to the archetypal force of the earth. The fusion of stasis and tension to tend towards life, still shapeless and indefinite. The harmony of ancient femininity that governs time in its inexorable flow.
Program notes - ita
Eclipse in the Great Mother. Un lento e morbido scivolare nel grembo della madre universale. Calore e mistero. Il ritorno all'origine, alla forza archetipica della terra. La fusione di stasi e tensione per tendere alla vita, ancora informe e indefinita. L'armonia di una femminilità antica che governa il tempo nel suo inesorabile scorrere.

Polvere nera
stereo - 5.47 - 2018
Program notes - eng
The totality of the acoustic material.
Excavated, mutilated. Sublimated and deposited. The One that is fragmented and reduced to dust. Chalk blocks engraved and carved through the space and elasticity of time. Polvere nera is divided into four sections, bounded by sudden stops and static poses, in which there is an incessant dialogue between two opposing formal poles: bands and points. In the end the dialogue becomes union through a process of massification of the material that does not however cancel the intrinsic differences of the models employed. Polvere nera was constructed using noise, synthesis sounds and percussive sounds.
Program notes - ita
La totalità della materia acustica.
Scavata, mutilata. Sublimata e deposta. L’Uno che si frammenta e si riduce a polvere.
Blocchi di gesso incisi e scolpiti attraverso lo spazio e l’elasticità del tempo. Polvere nera è divisa in quattro sezioni, delimitate da arresti improvvisi e pose statiche, in cui si svolge un dialogo incessante tra due poli formali opposti: fasce e punti. Nel finale il dialogo diventa unione tramite un processo di massificazione del materiale che non annulla però le differenze intrinseche dei modelli impiegati. Polvere nera è stata costruita utilizzando rumore, suoni di sintesi e suoni percussivi.

Sequenze
stereo - 6.21 - 2018
Program notes - eng
Sequences. A short journey in space. Visions of planets told by concrete sounds of their alleged daily life. Wide rooms and curved horizons. The sidereal emptiness that dominates every place. It is a small psychic and intangible path that turns to the elsewhere of unknown natures. The cold and heat that lead to industrial elements built from gray metals. A tension towards the symbolic abstraction of a possible journey of the human spirit.

Sequenze. Un breve viaggio nello spazio. Visioni di pianeti raccontate da suoni concreti della loro presunta vita quotidiana. Stanze ampie e orizzonti curvi. Il vuoto siderale che domina ogni luogo.

Una tensione verso l'astrazione simbolica di un possibile viaggio dello spirito umano.

Banlieue cuivrée
stereo - 8.03 - 2017
Program notes - eng
BANLIEUE CUIVRÉE. Suburb brass. Crumbled concrete. The matter fragmentation, its chaos and energy, counterpoised to its implacable, pure and monolithic immobility. The cement shifted through the metal and the leather. The expression "banlieue cuivrée" comes from the will to represent the life of a cement magma with its morphed and dynamics fluctuations, its slackening and but also with its static poses sublimated in the urban architectonic context. Hence concrete. A specific matter. A "fact" surrounding our daily space. A rigid corporeality but that comes in liquid form. Concrete. Suburb. Banlieue. The colour grey. The composition has been built using exclusively concrete samples of metallophones and membranophones instruments. Brass is the dominant metal colour in the musical context, hence the second French term cuivrée. To this light a copper mass, alternating its breath in different ontological sound statuses, is the resulting terminological syntaxes.
Program notes - ita
Banlieue cuivrée. Periferia ottone. Cemento sgretolato. Il caos e l’energia della frammentazione della materia contrapposta alla sua staticità implacabile, pura, monolitica. Il cemento traslato attraverso il metallo e la pelle. L’espressione “banlieue cuivrée” deriva dalla volontà di rappresentare la vita di un magma cementizio con le sue fluttuazioni morfiche e dinamiche, le sue distensioni e i suoi rigurgiti ma anche delle sue statiche pose che nel contesto architettonico urbano trovano la loro sublimazione. Cemento dunque. Una materia precisa. Un “fatto” che circonda il nostro spazio quotidiano. Una corporeità rigida ma che nasce allo stato liquido. Cemento. Periferia. Banlieue. Colore grigio. La composizione è stata costruita utilizzando esclusivamente campioni concreti di strumenti metallofoni e membranofoni. Il colore dominante del metallo nel contesto musicale è quello degli ottoni. Da qui il secondo termine francese cuivrée. La sintesi terminologica risultante, quindi, è quella di una massa ramata che alterna il suo respiro in differenti stati ontologici sonori.

Bodega bay
stereo - 11.50 - 2016
Program notes - eng
"Bodega Bay" is inspired by the film of Alfred Hitchcock "Birds" of 1963.
The composition is a sound narration of a journey across the bay where much of the film is set.
This journey is to be understood as a psychic, intangible path, an involuntary path of the mind that can determine a dangerous drift. No mimetic representation then. No material simulation. But a tension towards the symbolic abstraction of a possible journey of the human spirit.
The wayfarer, closed in his subjectivity, runs through this chimerical and magmatic space without any purpose, enveloped in a hostile and unpredictable nature up to the freedom intended both as an end and as overcoming and resolving.
The composition is divided into four parts:
Part 1 [0:00 to 3:52] arrival at bay
Part 2 [3:52 to 6:19] start of the journey
Part 3 [6:19 to 9:56] across the bay
Part 4 [9:56 to 11:50] freedom
Program notes - ita
"Bodega Bay" è ispirata al film di Alfred Hitchcock "Uccelli" del 1963.
La composizione è una narrazione sonora di un viaggio attraverso la baia dove è ambientato gran parte del film.
Tale viaggio è da intendersi come un cammino psichico, intangibile, un percorso involuto della mente che può determinare una pericolosa deriva. Nessuna raffigurazione mimetica quindi. Nessuna simulazione materiale. Ma una tensione verso l'astrazione simbolica di un possibile tragitto dello spirito umano.
Il viandante, chiuso nella sua soggettività, percorre senza scopo questo spazio chimerico e magmatico avvolto da una natura ostile e imprevedibile fino ad arrivare alla libertà intesa sia come fine sia come superamento e risoluzione.
La composizione è costituita da quattro parti:
Parte 1 [0:00 / 3:52] arrivo alla baia
Parte 2 [3:52 / 6:19] inizio del viaggio
Parte 3 [6:19 / 9:56] attraverso la baia
Parte 4 [9:56 / 11:50] libertà

Ropes Water And Blocks
stereo - 3.12 - 2014
Program notes - eng
The slow dripping of water grains.
Pulverised ropes gasping.
The slow dragging of resonances.
One is entering a deformed space oscillating between concrete docks and frothy waters.
A mind port. A transit area. The dimension where opposite meet.
The farewell and forsake. The docking and the discovery.
A short trip beyond the point of no return.
Program notes - ita
Il lento gocciolare di chicchi d’acqua.
L’ansimo di corde polverizzate.
Il lento strascico di risonanze.
Si entra in un ambiente deformato che oscilla tra banchine di cemento e acque schiumose.
Il porto della mente. Lo spazio del transito. L’ampiezza della coincidenza degli opposti.
L’addio e l’abbandono. L’approdo e la scoperta.
Un breve viaggio oltre il punto di non ritorno.

Blocks #1
stereo - 3.06 - 2014
Program notes - eng
Blocks.
Blocks like bulks.
Block like sound clusters moving in the empty space and turning into stones thrown into the void.
But block are also conglomerates, aggregation, union of sounds that embrace ad destroy one another until they dissipate and hurt themselves.
A messy dance rising from the silence and violently lashing down the casts, until fading out.
Slowly and inexorably.
Program notes - ita
Blocchi.
Blocchi come masse.
Blocchi come ammassi sonori che si muovono nello spazio e si trasformano in sassi lanciati nel vuoto.
Ma blocchi anche come agglomerati, come aggregazione, come alleanze sonore che si abbracciano e si scontrano fino a consumarsi e ledersi a vicenda.
Una danza scomposta che sorge dal silenzio per abbattersi con violenza lungo i fianchi del tempo fino ad arrivare alla dissolvenza.
Lenta e inesorabile.
