VideoAdvice Soundtrack for ARES festival, movie and video international festival [8/2013 - Syracuse (IT)]


RARES

The piece is based on the relationship between two main musical elements which set the form, harmonical and time proportions contained in the structure.
Synthesized sounds define a rythmic-formal grid: fixed orbits, recognizable sound items with indipendent cyclic time articulating that represent a still condition formed by moving elements, for instance a planetary orbital system.
This system perpetually moves and slowly evolves, following constant proportions creating encounters and regular intersections which are percetively umpredictable. A subconscious’ grid.
A natural element extremly time dilated trough granular synthesis.
A short sound of a mandolin sliding on a surface, falling down and resonating as a result of the impact. A random generated sound containing a well defined microstructure, a well defined envelope. Its characteristics are those of a sound joining natural noise and harmonic vibration components –the bump and the eight strings resonating- inside the mandolin oval shape, whose structure reveals some vocal like harmonic partials.
Its organic and living aspect, regulated by other proportions, ties with still condition dilating on time. Envelope turns in form.
When dilating, the instant, connects with a different time ruled by same proprtions but based on a scaled size.
Action freezes. The astronaut on this passage becames part of the system.

Requiem Per Un Astronauta Disperso Nello Spazio

Le Grand Mort.
Sexual orgasm as a musical form . The length of time is relativized and the brief moment of orgasm expands in a space chant , time lengthens becoming a choral and dramatic suspension of the moment.
The piece is based on the counterpoint that develops between overlapping recordings of real orgasms recorded at high resolution sampling to ensure ample time dilation maintaining the naturalness of the original vocal sounds. 
The "petite mort" loses his meaning and takes the form of a deep and cosmic "grand mort" .


Le grand mort [requiem para el cuerpo humano]

El orgasmo sexual como forma musical. La duración del tiempo se relativiza y el breve momento del orgasmo se dilata volviéndolo en un cante espacial, el tiempo se alarga transformándose en una coral y dramática suspensión del instante. 
La pieza está basada en el contrapunto que nace entre superposición de grabaciones de orgasmos reales grabados apositamente en alta resolución para garantizar una amplia dilatación temporal manteniendo la naturalidad de los sonidos vocales de origen.
La “petite mort” cambia de sentido y toma la forma de una profunda y cosmica “grand mort”.




Le Grand Mort [requiem per il corpo umano]

Composed for Monocontest 2 prize for Hispasonic.com community.
Inspired by the sound of my Moog Prodigy mark I (no MIDI, no CV, all totally manual). All sounds are made only with Prodigy.
Moog synthetizers have inspired many great musicians. This short song should be an homage to Bob Moog, and plays with some magic flavours inside.
Each part was played manually and recorded track by track, section by section.
The Prodigy model must be played bu hands only. Playing with his 32 keys (without dynamics sentitive touch)and his many knobs and switches. There is no presets memory. Controlling sound in realtime is very limited (one hand plays keys, the other is free for tweaking parameters).
All the grooves, melodies, sweeps, rythms are created , executed and recorded on the fly. Nothing was quantized.
For sculping complex sounds in realtime while record(like the wobble one, or some sweeps) I applied some levers and cranks to the tweak involved knobs made with LEGO® pieces to have the possibility to move many parameters with only one hand. All sound are RAW: only reverb, delay, compression and EQ was used. No mastering.
This was veeeeeeery funny (and a little freaky)...
