[Benedetto Boccuzzi] My purpose with these #Microsystems is to investigate very diverse sound environments by compressing them in a handful of seconds, a small space where everything happens immediately and then collapses. The different sound layers, generated from manipulated and filtered sounds, overlap creating a confused and unstable texture on which small bursts, abrupt electric shocks and rapid movements emerge. The idea is to access through a magnifying glass to a microcosm that contains the whole, or to take a snapshot of a process in continuous evolution.

[Roberta Ferrara, Artistic Director of Equilibrio Dinamico Dance Company] M° Boccuzzi's proposal was immediately welcomed with great enthusiasm by me and the main nucleus of freelance dancers with whom Equilibrio Dinamico has been collaborating for years. I believe that the eclecticism of the Maestro and the dancers of Equilibrio Dinamico can give birth to a project that is not only interesting, as it allows to investigate sound and body, but can also be a seed able to create a parallel project for the company. Equilibrio Dinamico was born as a repertory company, therefore it is a reality prone and open, since 2011, to confrontation between artists; I am excited to see a first creative process by the dancers of the company. The M° Boccuzzi will compose unpublished #Microsystems for each dancer who will be free to experiment the scores defining their own personal research, I will limit myself to supporting their work with belief and enthusiasm . I thank M°Boccuzzi for thinking of Equilibrio Dinamico for this interesting artistic collaboration.
