Improvisation for seven shakuhachi

Recorded sounds provide a rich and extensive palette of colors and textures.  I like to glean what I can from single short samples of sound.  I particularly like squeaks and creaks.  Lately, I've become enamored with the enormous selection of vinyl records available on archive.org.

DISASTER AREA is an open  project created for the purpose of experiment various interactions between acoustic and electronic instruments in a  context of improvised music. 
The founding members are Claudio Ferrari, Bruno Gussoni and Iao Aea.
Disaster Area is available for collaborating with other artists; we remember here our collaborations with musicians like Jane Rigler, Bernadette Zeilinger, Diego Mune,  Anja Kreysing, Ulrike Lentz, Anton Mobin, Roberto Lazzarino,  and others, and with the videomaker Jutta Pryor.

CLAUDIO FERRARI operates several electronic instruments, both analog and digital, to produce electronic music both composed and live improvised.
He also is a member of the experimental electronic group NOS

Bruno Gussoni (born in 1951) is a flute player who works in the field of free improvisation/instant compositions. He plays several flutes (C flute, alto flute, bass flute, piccolo, shakuhachi, nohkan, shinobue, ryūteki), used to create a unique and personal language producing experimental flute sounds. He is not interested in the use of the flutes as “academic instruments”, he has given up on traditional techniques in favour of extended techniques like un-pitched breaths, multiple sounds, harmonics, overtones, whispers, microtones, keys percussion, and other sounds, all combined with breath, silence, soundscapes… exploring the acoustic possibility of the flutes, in the sound space and in relation with other improvisers.

I love listening to & creating ambient, dark ambient, avant-garde & experimental electronica (and the occasional beatscape). I have no professional aspirations  - I just really like creating music / manipulating sounds. It's my way of relaxing after a hard day at the office. All my tracks are produced using monitoring headphones (Audix A140) so I recommend that you listen to my music through headphones. My DAW of choice is FL Studio. I also use Reason every now & then. 


To the artists I follow; I do my best to try to listen to as many of your tracks as possible each night (I listen to each track all the way through - you went through the effort to create a track so you deserve to have it heard in full). If I miss a recent upload of yours, please forgive me...

Thank you for taking the time to visit my little corner of the soundcloud.

Beside improvising and meeting the moment ,I bring my poetry in a sferic  of sound , interaction of fibration , using a variety of instruments .
