Francesco Giomi - "Alla carta" (2011)
Recorded voice: Loredana Terminio

“Alla carta” is an Italian kitchen-based soundscape composition. Its contents start both from some sounds of “cooking” taken from an important restaurant near Florence and from the sonic appeal of the reading of one of its real menus. The piece is therefore a small portrait of Tuscany from the view of one of its main and famous activity.

EMOTIONAL SOUNDSCAPES
An emotional journey towards different musical habitats, alternating dilated sound strings and obsessive rhythmic textures. The last step of a path that, arising from the world of dance, develops to a completely musical expressive autonomy. On the border between feeling and experimentation.

Francesco Giomi - That's alla folks! (1994)
The electroacoustic piece That's all folks! was composed by using only sound material from TV recordings of American cartoons: particularly excerpts from Warner's and MGM's cartoons from the Forties to the Sixties. This work want to be firstly an homage to this kind of artistic expression.
While choosing and processing sound material, timbrical-morphological features of many events used for cartoons soundtracks have been put into evidence, and sound objects with a proper musical nature (musical backgrounds, signature tones and so on) have been included, after being displaced.
In April 1994 it had its premiere at the CitÇ de la musique in Marseille while he was selected as a finalist at the 2nd Puy of Electroacoustic Music (1994) in Bourges and at the 16o Concorso di Musica Elettroacustica "L. Russolo" (1994) in Varese.
