Audio Report: Alessandria (Novembre 2020 - Aprile 2021)

A collection of sounds and atmospheres recorded between November 2020 and April 2021 in Alessandria. With a strong industrial imprint, this sound research, composed of field recordings processed through granular sound synthesis, summons the peripheral places of the city, in a nocturnal walk that negotiates between the audio report and the emotional landscape.

Broadcasted on Fango Radio on the 04/06/21 as the second episode of the podcasts series "Walk So Silently That the Bottoms of Your Feet Become Ears" curated by Vittoria Assembri and Gaia Ginevra Giorgi. 


"Walk So Silently That the Bottoms of Your Feet Become Ears is a collection of sound materials by artists who work with a sitespecific approach. Archives of sound landscapes that reflect on the theme of liminal territory, waste, residue: field recordings, interviews, vocal soundscapes, poems, sound installations, then in close relationship with the architectural space and its crossings (human and non-human)"

S3 salina del faro di punta Lingua o stagno costiero delle majare
Deambulazione metrica e sconfinamento (con Matteo e Letizia )



Calpestare e sviscerare i confini per abitare la soglia, considerare la marginalità come luogo radicale di possibilità, come spazio di resistenza.
Sconfinare, e considerare sconfinamenti post-organici e la disfatta dei generi.
Tramite visioni trasversali e generose ripensare l’idea di cartografia, e riscoprirla incarnata nei corpi e negli affetti.

Ripensando il manifesto di libertà delle majare eoliane, attaverso processi di diffusione e socializzazione, frequentare il territorio incerto che attraversiamo quando ci spostiamo un luogo ad un altro, e considerarlo come punto di partenza per decostruire una realtà radicale e univoca, e aprirsi ad una soggettività fluida, pluristratificata in divenire, dove divenire significa apertura, potere trasformativo delle minoranze. l

Scegliere questo luogo per attivare riti come microilluminazioni, pratiche urticanti e sabotaggi elettronici, fare esperimenti di richiamo, costruire un’ intimità con le cose più piccole per reincantarsi, reincantare il mondo, e imparare a stare in sequenze sospese

Sonic research in two residual places linking poetry, soundscape and architecture. ‘Femminile Plurale’ takes us through a former greenhouse, an irrigation tank and a bunker in Liguria. ‘RADURA’ rewrites the space of an urban clearing in Berlin through a participative performance. 

Vittoria Assembri is an architectural and sound researcher. Her practice explores the territories considered marginal, from an architectural and sound point of view. She focuses her research on the regeneration of urban spaces as the recovery of building heritage that pursues sustainable sociability and social diversity. She deepens on the notion of Third Landscape, as an oblique and unconventional condition, of abandoned spaces invested by spontaneous forms of other species.

Gaia Ginevra Giorgi is a poet, sound artist, performer and researcher. She published “Manovre segrete” (Interno Poesia, 2017) and “L’animale nella fossa” (Miraggi Edizioni, 2021). Her research is oriented towards the generative possibilities of intercode poetry: she experiments with vocal soundscapes, and studies the relationships between text, voice, new electronic devices and architectural space, creating site-specific projects.
