PN, that is P raise to N, is a study on the sound nature of the piano. This acousmatic composition  explores the sound behaviors of this instrument using the current technologies of sound processing and spatialization as tools to change the size both of the instrument and of the audience. The electronic processing of sounds allowed to raise to the Nth degree the already rich sound materials obtained from recordings of actions and gestures performed on the strings and soundboard of the piano.

Recording of the sound installation Silenzio Interiore. Galleria Nazionale di Cosenza - February 2013.

Silenzio Interiore - Frammento I

Sounds from Pb3O4, an installation inspired by the crystal structure of red lead. The shape of the installation represent, in a metaphorical way and on a expanded scale, a suggestion of its geometry. The crystal structure is not static, on the contrary has a life made of internal oscillations and molecular vibrations. In our hypothesis the idea of movement is represented or evoked by acoustic vibrations imprinted to the object. The oscillations of the overall structure can generate audible and visual phenomena.

Recording of the installation at Minia - Galleria d'Arte Santa Chiara Cosenza 21 june - 19 July 2013

Pb3O4 - I

Music action for harmonic bell, voice and live electronics.
Recorded April 25th 2015 at Giardino di Shiva -> Cosenza -> Italy

Solo for a melody instrument with feedback is a work for a soloist with live electronics composed in 1965–66 by Karlheinz Stockhausen.

Here you can listen to the recording of a version of Solo set up at Conservatorio Giacomantonio in Cosenza (Italy) by Giovanni Scarpello (Flute) and Costantino Rizzuti (Live electronics). 

Recorded on July 20th 2017 at Conservatorio Giacomantonio in Cosenza

Solo

Solo Elettronica I is the first track of a bigger project aimed at exploring the opportunity to make electronic sounds using only synth DIY. It was recorded in March 2019 during the preparation of the performance for my final exam in Conservatory. What you will hear is the recording of the whole performance with only few manipulation made using a DAW software.
The prototypes made by Artis Lab were used to create this track. For more info please visit: www.artislab.it.

The city of Elea was founded near the Cilento coast in the second half of the 6th century BC by Greek exiles from Phocaea fleeing Ionia, the current western coast of Turkey, following the destruction of their city by the Persian army. The Phocaeans bought the land from the local inhabitants and transformed the new colony into a flourishing center that at the time also took on great importance for a famous medical school and for the birth of one of the main pre-Socratic philosophical schools: the so-called Eleatic school.
Ritorno a Elea is a piece of music inspired by an imaginary journey into the past between the different shores of the Mediterranean sea in search of that spirit that puts at the center of the vision of the world the profound meaning of Humanity and the Whole, for the first time prefigured by Parmenides and by his followers, so often lost today. The history of Elea, in fact, was not an isolated case and in the following two thousand and five hundred years similar events were repeated often leaving evident signs on the Italian territory. Thus, for example, the Albanians settled in the Calabrian and Lucanian territory to escape the advance of the Ottoman Empire and, still in Calabria, Occitan communities, of Protestant and Waldensian religion, settled on the Tyrrhenian coast of Cosenza to try to escape, unfortunately in vain, to religious persecution. Later, our lands were also victims of abandonment and depopulation in historical periods not far away where the emigrants were precisely the Italians who tried to escape hunger and poverty. Thus emigration, immigration, hospitality and integration are nothing new, but something ancient and consolidated in our culture.
Ritorno a Elea has also this meaning: the return to the places of abandonment and depopulation to remember what we have been and to understand the urgency to strongly refuse the current political actions implemented by the states to counteract illegal immigration through the construction of walls and iron curtains, the establishment of naval blocks, the closure of ports and the implementation of restrictive and punitive measures. The Italian history teaches that the Mediterranean sea has always been the vehicle of clashes and encounters between populations and cultures, a means of escape and salvation for human being in the legitimate search for peace and serenity for themselves and their descendants. It will certainly not be the violence and the cynical brutality of the richest states to arrest an ever-existent phenomena that can find solutions only in a different way: nothing but through international cooperation, the cessation of conflicts scattered on Earth and the equitable redistribution of the assets of the Planet.

Noisy silence is a live electronic performance that explores the use of sounds produced by a chaotic system as the basic material for the construction of a musical discourse aimed at investigating the dialectics between silence and sound and between sound and noise. The materials used for the performance were recorded and manipulated together with the voice to create a radio drama to narrate the condition of abandonment and depopulation of numerous inhabited centers in Calabria. The "noisy silence" to which the title refers is an allusion to the condition of these places where the silence linked to abandonment and the absence of human presence is transformed in the ear of the attentive visitor into an incessant noise that tells the continuous work of Nature that transforms and manipulates the territory regardless of human action.

I am a composer and sound artist with a strong interest both in Computer and Electroacoustic Music. My main interest is to explore the creative use of technologies in Art. I create computer programs able to generate sounds and music. I am very interested in algorithmic composition and sound synthesis and in the generative use of mathematical models to support and explore my creative processes.
