From fragments of sounds a slow ascent to inspiration, a natural transport that leads from the strings of a violin to Ireland and dance but also to contemplation. Escape from a daytime dream to enter the smoky and dense nights.

Fucking With Wings

A true contact with love for life and body. Maybe even body & soul. Enjoy it.

Sinesthetic Bodies In Quiet

It is a nomadic journey through possible but unknown borders. Will our heroes be able to find themselves?
A distant voice will be salvation…

#Sonic Alliances
Maurizio Chiantone: double bass & voice
Mario Gabola: acoustic and feedback alto sax
Diana Di Masi: vocal

A sesame seed on the skin

Disharmonic environments rich in point fibers and low frequency voracins, unknown worlds but family acoustic windows. In the magma of the vibrations they hide and reveal Light and Eros, new partners of ancestral sound.

Yo no soy brasileiro, ovvero lasciate ogni strumento o voi ch'entrate

This vinyl features ten tracks of warm, soulful jazz with hints of world music. Each piece was recorded live and entirely improvised, capturing an intimate dialogue between double bass and saxophone. It’s an authentic, warm sonic experience for anyone who loves improvisation and enveloping atmospheres.
Recorded in 2024 at the historic Mustilli's cellars. That should give it that nice extra touch of context.
Mixing and Mastering by Maurizio Chiantone and Neil Leonard

“The Dead Childrens of Jingle Bells” is a piece dedicated to the memory of the approximately seventy thousand children who lost their lives in Gaza.
The composition, 05:45 in length, unfolds as a sonic requiem: electronic textures, suspended harmonies, and fragile acoustic traces that evoke absence, silence, and interrupted lives.

Only twice, and for just a few measures, the melody of Jingle Bells briefly appears.
This delicate, almost whispered quotation creates a stark contrast between the festive imagery of our traditions and the horror of the massacre. It is an emotional rupture — a reminder of how the world can keep celebrating while childhood is erased elsewhere.

This piece is not meant to be political; it is meant to be human.
An invitation to listen, to pause, to remember.
To never grow accustomed.

The dead childrens of jingle bells

“Maqām” is a piece dedicated to the victims of the Palestinian massacre — and to all lives shattered by acts of collective violence around the world.
The title refers to the modal system of Middle Eastern music, a language shaped by memory, emotion, and the subtle tension between grief and resilience.

In this composition, the maqām becomes a space of mourning: suspended drones, fractured melodic lines, and unresolved harmonies trace the outline of a sorrow that finds no consolation. The music moves in slow circles, like a ritual of remembrance, allowing each sound to carry the weight of a story that can no longer be told.

“Maqām” is conceived with the future in mind, giving room to silence and to mourning.
A moment of listening for those who can no longer speak.
A place where sound becomes witness.

This playlist is the result of continuous research on languages and sounds in which are experimented structures and new ways of creation concerning the relationship between human, media and technology. It grows a constant focus to the possibility of combination of the code, including the distinctive and transversal elements which it is composed and the potential dynamic and creative in the realization of an event. The research areas are directed more and more to that of the visual and sound art. Begins a careful study on the relationships between phonemes, signs, perception and environment in a holistic way and minimalist.

Telematic Concert

Pauline Oliveros and Alan Courtis - Telematic Concert I [excerpt]

Neapolitan, graduated in Double Bass at the Conservatory of Naples, a Master in Digital Writing at the Faculty of Educational Sciences of Florence and graduated in Electroacoustic Musical Composition at the Conservatory of Benevento, he is strongly attracted by the possibilities of interchange of codes and their distinctive and transversal constituent elements . The research areas focus on the interactions between Visual and Sound Art and push towards a study aimed at the relationships between phonemes, signs, perception and environment in a holistic and minimalist direction. There are numerous performances and installations in which he participates with a wide versatility between cultures, styles and artistic models and in which he operates on multiple levels of interest: compositional, planning, didactic; between exchanges of thoughts and actions shared with artists and creatives.
