Arte Estranha
A palavra ordem vem se tornando cada vez mais intrigante. Afinal de contas, o que te organiza? Desmontando o fetiche dos extremos (ordem/desordem) e despindo-se da dualidade cartesiana, o que se revela é um modo organização que não se confunde com outra coisa senão com o estranho.
"(...) O que temos é a crise de uma noção central nos dispositivos de legitimação e no imaginário modernos: a noção de ordem. E com ela assistimos à rediscussão da noção de desordem (...)" Wilmar do Valle Barosa.
"A ordem? É tudo o que é repetição, constância, invariância, tudo o que pode ser posto sob a égide de uma relação altamente provável, enquadrado sob a dependência de uma lei.
A desordem? É tudo o que é irregularidade, desvios com relação a uma estrutura dada, acaso, imprevisibilidade. Num universo de pura ordem, não haveria inovação, criação, evolução. Não haveria existência viva nem humana" Edgar Morin.
"Ando muito completo de vazios. Meu órgão de morrer me predomina. Estou sem eternidades. Não posso mais saber quando amanheço ontem. Está rengo de mim o amanhecer. Ouço o tamanho oblíquo de uma folha. Atrás do ocaso fervem os insetos. Enfiei o que pude dentro de um grilo o meu destino. Essas coisas me mudam para cisco. A minha independência tem algemas". Os deslimites da palavra, Manoel de Barros.
As iniciativas do Arte Estranha buscam estimular a criação sonora e integrar artistas de diferentes perfis e projeções em torno de um mesmo eixo temático de trabalho. Assim, acreditamos estimular a produção e difusão musical, bem como fortalecer a diversidade que compõe a cena da música experimental que é feita hoje.

Contemporary Music – a sub-branch of classical music – is more alive than ever in the new album “In Focus 6” where eight different composers from different backgrounds and countries show us what it is possible to achieve when ingenious ideas meet talented performers.
The eight composers include (in order of track-list) João Pedro Oliveira, Gianluca Deserti, Rei Hamakawa, Nicola Fumo Frattegiani, Ion Marmarinos, Benjamin Montgomery, Philippe Mathis and Petar Jovanov.
While some are professors at prestigious universities, all the composers are establishing themselves in the contemporary scene by winning numerous international competitions and call-for-works.
Here, they are joined by a string of excellent performers including Duo Sigma, Ales Lavrencic, Sebastiano Gubian, Hirofumi Uematsu, Riccardo Catria, Roadrunner Trio, Linda Jenkins, Alexander W. Ravitz, Heeyoung Choi and Shaun Stojkovski.
This eclectic ensemble shows the true potential of contemporary music with nine new tracks written for instruments including piano, cello, flute, clarinet, flugelhorn, voice and electronic. With works that go from solo to duo and trio, passing from the latest modern experimentations to folklore and world music, here is the track-list:

The Eaves
A literary journal that is all ears
“Bodega Bay” is inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s film “The 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

At the beginning of 2019, the cultural organization Delta Produzioni issued an international call for electro-acoustic works. Delta Produzioni has over 25 years of experience in organizing events and competitions that have involved thousands of participants from all around the world.
The concept for this call for works was to examine acoustic material that explores the sound of words. The works submitted needed to contain the specific phonemes (not necessarily set to a melody or harmonized) of the language of the composers, in order to create a sound-fresco based on the use of the words and their elaboration. The acoustic material, selected by a group of experts from the 209 compositions received from 36 countries, is now available on CD.
The tracklist includes:
01. Nicola Fumo Frattegiani (Italy): Flos Asisium (2019)
02. Kenneth L. Field (USA): fifty seven one, for sixteen vocalists (2002)
03. Mattia Benedetti (Italy): Se Qatre Khun (Three Drops of Blood) (2018)
04. Yu Chung Tseng (Taiwan): Fluctuations Between - The Mutual ArisingYing andYang (2019)
05. Sergio Aarón Pérez Velázquez (Mexico): Lipograma (2019)
06. Chiara Mallozzi (Italy): ToTem (2011)
07. Dieter Kaufmann (Austria): Chanson (1971) - Text: Ernst Jandl - Recitation: Gunda Koenig
08. Francis Kayali (France / USA): Téléphone arable (2019)
09. Antonio D’Amato (Italy): Une Rencontre (2013)

This album, the fourth of the series, features all the winners of the Call for Electroacoustic Works 2019, launched to discover composers that use technology to conceive, manipulate and create new imaginative and unexpected sounds, music and compositions.
The nine composers who are featured are (in order of playlist): Leah Reid, Benjamin Montgomery, João Pedro Oliveira, Meghan Dineen, Daniel Mayer, Greg A Steinke, Nicola Fumo Frattegiani.
In an age where music genres and sound design become more and more blurred, the ten tracks include pure electronic works, works that mix acoustic instruments and electronic and works with voice, electronic and instruments. Each of the compositions presented offers a distinctive and clear perspective of today possibilities, making use of advanced structures, sound manipulations and various combinations of timbre and sound design.
The tracklist includes:
01. Sk(etch) by Leah Reid
02. Machine by Benjamin Montgomery
03. Dark Energy by João Pedro Oliveira
04. Evangelium Campane by Maeghan Dineen
05. Matter 1 by Daniel Mayer

Gràcia Territori Sonor
This is the album with the eighth global call for Microtopies. The Microtopies are sonic miniatures that shape a special edition of Radio Música i Geografía (Ràdio Gràcia FM, Barcelona), the weekly radio program by Gràcia Territori Sonor.
The aim is to make a sonic route through a map of randomly assigned events, since the pieces received have been included in strict order of reception.
This year have been received 69 pieces from 11 countries.
Now, we invite you to take this journey. You will enjoy the maximum quality of sound recorded by the authors. Don’t listen to them by your computer loudspeakers but rather plug them in a decent sound system or put on good headphones otherwise you will miss a lot of sounds and frequencies...

“La carta sonora degli Orti di San Pietro” (edited by Viaindustriae Sound with the contribution of Regione Umbria – Umbrialibri 2015 and 2016, in collaboration with the Fonoteca Trotta, the University of Perugia University’s Center for Scientific Museums and the Department of Agrarian, Food and Environmental Sciences in Perugia).
“La carta sonora degli Orti di San Pietro” was produced during UmbriaLibri 2015 and 2016, during the ninth and tenth edition of Manufatto in Situ, art and landscape workshop curated by Viaindustriae applied in the Medieval Garden and in the and Didactic-Social Garden of San Pietro, in collaboration with Fonoteca Regionale Trotta, the University Center for the Scientific Museums – University of Perugia and with the Department of Agricultural, Food and Environmental Sciences. The workshop hosted 18 young visual and sound artists and 5 visiting artists, from different backgrounds, who recorded and mapped, documented and reinvented the places of the three gardens and their social relations. The outcome was a site-specific live set, “Campestre, mimetica“. From this experience, viaindustriae published the first “Quaderno di Campo” together with an audio CD, as a prototype of an editorial series in collaboration with the Fonoteca Trotta. This mapping configures and proposes a more systematic regional intervention starting from the Carta Sonora model to outline geography of interesting “acoustic places” in terms of soundscape/soundscape/listening. On the cover of the editorial research, Eugenio Faina, founder of the Istituto Superiore Agrario di San Pietro, created from the beginning (1894) as a space for pedagogical “experimentation”.
