Introduction
Concert (Curated by Alfonso Belfiore)
Fatigue
“Fatigue” it’s an acousmatic composition about Brain Fog. It’s a flux of audio information that desperately tries to condensate itself into a coherent meaning but simply can not. Sounds are treated as Brain Fog thoughts so are heavily fragmented in nature and iterative. It’s a piece based on abrupt interruptions, unexpected change in sound material, chaotic motion in space, and condensation/coalescence of thematic ideas. The listener can be overwhelmed by this audio flux or he can practice a sort of meditation to experience the passing of this stream as an external observer. |

Biography
21-22
The name of this composition derives from the period in which it was composed, that is the days between 2021 and 2022, in a state of isolation of 2 weeks due to Covid.
This long wait gave me the time and concentration to compose a soundscape that looked inside me, expressing through sounds the emotions of these last two years that have put the whole world in difficulty.
The sound material is mainly of concrete origin, with sounds of nature (storm, sea), household sounds (gas and water drops), electronically manipulated, often with granular resynthesize.

Biography
Silence of the Universe
In March 2021, NASA conducted a study about the sounds of the universe. I started from the idea that we are surrounded by sounds and noises that delineate the space around us. We are unable to perceive even though they are always with us. I have collected a group of sounds to create an “acoustic space”. To describe our presence. I decided to record my heartbeat. On a visual level I designed two/three-dimensional spaces in continuous change that could give a place to the sounds that follow one another in the project. I want to represent an “unknown” space described by sounds that we do not perceive but in which we find our self.

Biography
Theseus (The Mighty Mouse)
Theseus is a robotic mouse programmed for the resolution of mazes, one of the first example of machine learning. Built in 1950 by mathematician and researcher Claude Shannon, it marks the beginning of a new era.
This work is inspired by the path of various ecological Theseus in a metropolis of the future, through traffic, architectural barriers, and other obstacles.
Theseus are therefore constantly in danger, risking being crushed by a car or being targeted by particularly lively kids, but thanks to their “digital” ability they are always able to face the adversity and to find an alternative way.

Biography
Tempo Bastante
A vision from the anguish of Giacomo Guerrini
The work is the result of distressing thoughts that have characterized this traumatic period of humanity.
The path of work is an uncontrolled race towards madness driven by chaos and the unnatural frenzy to which life subjects us by taking away the illusion of control over it.
Giacomo Guerrini
Biography
Il ciclo dell’azoto – The nitrogen cycle
The nitrogen cycle is a process by which nitrogen moves mainly between the atmosphere, the ground and living things. This cycle is defined as gaseous because the reserve pool, that is the reservoir of this chemical element, is precisely the atmosphere. this biogeochemical process involves many living beings and is indispensable for human life. The composition wants to represent the cycle through the morphing of concrete sounds with synthetic ones. bacteria, atmospheric events, microorganisms, animals and plants are part of the compositional path that ends in a structural cycle of sounds.

Biography
FWAH
The four natural elements find their common denominator in noise, in our experience this aspect fades into the background in favor of their meaning. According to the philosopher Empedocles, all things are governed by the tension between love and strife that dominate at alternating times, shaking the elements of which they are composed. The cycle of cosmic forces where destruction and generating force are confused, is made by the sounds of natural elements that bind and break up in the continuous flow of low-frequency noise that composes them. The object of research is chaos understood as the noise that accompanies the four elements.

Biography
NEW P.
THE VITAL FORCE, THE TRANSFORMATION AND REPRODUCTIVE CAPACITY OF LIVING MATTER, IS THE CONCEPT OF THE NEW P.
| Shapeless dimension | Disorder measure | Consciousness process | Larval state | Transformation | Knowledge | Beauty | Contemplation | Manipulation of Nature |
NEW P. is a capture collection formulated by five light boxes, conceived by the artist and video maker Arianna Bitossi in collaboration with Sam Barreto Cardoso Bertoldi.
The sound project was made with wavetable noise, interacting with the video sequence in terms of synchronization and trying to create an ancestral and extended atmosphere to a “timeless”.

Il Canto Del Pane
“Il Canto del Pane” is an acousmatic composition that aims to evoke an inner world that arises from the common experience of baking, an ancient rite that unites peoples. Kneading, molding, baking, cooking control and finally cutting; all the sound material is recorded live and in a single session. The title comes from what bakers say, when bread is cooling before taste it; they say it sings, in fact bread makes nice creaks and crackles due to the sudden exchange of heat and evaporation. Effects and treatments are derived through analysis and resynthesize processes; the composition is made entirely with Csound.

Biography
Parole
The composition “Parole” is developed exclusively through the use of the voice. For its realization, a voice was sampled which pronounced exclusively the word: “Parole” that means “Words” Through the use of different types of synthesis and among the most used the granular synthesis, a destructuring of the voice takes place which makes it almost incomprehensible. The voice is not only used to create a sound texture; it is also used in the rhythmic parts; with a rapid decay I leaved the pronunciation of the letter “P” in evidence. The track thus created is a synthesis and mixture of electronic music and vocal processing

Biography
Solo Voce
Solo Voce: inspired by the human voice, one of the oldest intrument and one of the most powerful analog synthesizer in hystory. Composition was made to explore the possibility of human voice. Two main layers: the first one generated by the voice and modify by the use of effects and electronics, the second one done by the ability of the singer.
Armando Vanzi
Biography
Les Dahlias noirs
This acousmatic piece is about feminicides and violence against women. It evokes the sad but famous case of the murder of Elizabeth Short, the Black Dahlia, in Los Angeles in 1947. The identity of the murderer has never been determined but many hypotheses have been made. As the case grew more and more notorious, many men claimed responsibility.
In a society where violence against women has long been trivialized and unsanctioned even today, this work aims to illustrate violence as a gear synonymous of death, tension, false appearances. Drops of white noise run through the composition and represent each feminicides occurred in 2019.

Biography
Rinascita
Never give up. The tree you are looking at is the same but is observed from different points of view.
Rebirth is the chance to give ourselves a new chance. Sometimes the obstacle to our projects is ourselves. We just need to broaden our horizons and discover how green our lives are.
Angelo Marrone
Biography
Noise Change
Noise Change is an electro-acoustic piece of music that wants to represent the continuous evolution of sound and its state. The inspiration behind this piece came from the observation that our society is constantly subjected to strong noise pollution, which has damaging effects on the human body, with extreme consequences of nervous and anxiety diseases.
I wanted to keep a sound flow that reminded me of the constant urban noise so that the listener could immerse himself in this sound experience.
Pier Luigi Zanni
Biography
Finirà
With this work. I wanted to send a message and so I decided to work on my project using the subject of “Terrorism” which I’ve always been interested in. The word terrorism usually scares us and reminds us of cruelty actions we have seen too often in TV during the past years, but in this case I wanted to make people actually feel like experiencing those moments. My piece tries to analyze, through electroacoustic music, most of the events connected to terrorist attacks that took place around Europe in the past 10 years or so. In the work are present recorded sounds by me and synthesized sounds from coding and sampling software.

Biography
Trilogy of the elements
The trilogy of the elements is an audiovisual composition in three movements.
The last of a two-year study on concrete sound and its use for narrative, this composition looks at the production of concrete sound without human interference, leaving the elements to take charge and letting them slowly overcome every presence until there is nothing left in the scene.
Both musically and visually there is a game of rising and falling, the bottle flies, then falls, the water drops low but the splash evaporates high, always crossing a stable horizontal line of a surreal landscape.

Scorci di vita quotidiana in un ambiente di pineta
“Scorci di vita quotidiana in un ambiente di pineta” (Glimpses of everyday life in a pine forest environment) is an acousmatic work for ensemble and electronics. Musically the piece is a soundscape inspired by the typical natural sounds of a pine forest. The work is not presented as a mere representation of the natural environment, but rather, through the identification of precise sound timbres that refer to the pine forest environment, the composition recreates a realistic / imaginary soundscape.
