"Quadri", the first album of Fieldoscope-recordings, is an extemporary composition by Giovanni Verga and Ariele Caltabiano. In this work, drones and soundscape-recordings are played through speakers placed inside the soundboard of an upright piano to take advantage of its resonance and to bring an homogenous sound together with the piano played and the acoustics of the room. 
Last piece is a mixture of field-recordings from Etna Vulcano and Tiergarten park, an homage to the lands where both artists come from (Sicily) and live in (Berlin). 

Giovanni Verga: piano, electronic
Ariele Caltabiano: drones, soundscapes

Quadri

"QUADRI" Giovanni Verga, Ariele Caltabiano

Foreign Presence In The System: 

1.Dive Within 2.Libero 3.Vibrate 4.Facing the Fear 5.Attachment 6.Primal Emotions 7.Bardo of Becoming 8.Presences 9.Revealing Visions 10.Wind of Impermanence

The collaboration between Giovanni Verga and Nico Lippolis brings to the discovery of a dark area where the anatomy of the sound is crumbling and transformed into spherical and organic matter. The sound of percussion, distant memory of the primordial, conducts and hypnotizes the listener, moving, creating and recreating itself as well as a seed creates its fruit without being able to know a priori its shape, its color and its flavor. 
Their research always starts with that "something" and investigates and looks at that unpredictability and mystery that are untranslatable and impenetrable.

All tracks were composed and performed by: 

Nico Lippolis: Drums, Percussions, Voice 
Giovanni Verga: Electronic, Keyboards, 
released December 13, 2014 
Mastered by Vitaliano Zurlo at Phase out Studio

AVOIDING THE SUN:

1.Nystagmus 2.Radius 3.Anfiscopia 4.Smellscape 5.Res Extensa 6.Circumferencia nusquam 7.Antisfera 8.Cosmotheandric

Second album of the italian electroacustic italian duo based in Berlin:
Giovanni Verga : electronics, keyboards 
Gianni Gebbia: Bb soprano saxophone 

With the multimedia work "Avoiding The Sun" CUPIS explores the boundaries between organic sounds and repetitive musical structures represented by the visuals that build up undiscovered and mysterious ways to reveal the obscure sides of what nature hides.
The saxophone is sampled in a dimension where the sound sources (electronic and acoustic) are blended and merged with the images in a Fata Morgana or cosmic mirage.

Snippet from "Samuel Rouanet, Ryusaku Ikezawa & Takashi Matsumoto Live in Tokyo" Fieldoscope 004

Since 2004, Japan has been a yearly destination for Sam Rouanet. Over those years Sam has been DJing, playing live as a guitarist, composing, and organizing creative workshops in conjunction with the French Institute (Alliance française) and the University of Seika in Kyoto. The French-born, Berlin-based musician has been forging strong ties and collaborating with a plethora of talented Japanese musicians over the years. He’s had the privilege of playing throughout Japan, one of many highlights being the incredible Super Deluxe club in Roppongi, Tokyo. This is where magic happened with drummer Ryusaku Ikezawa & saxophonist Takashi Matsumoto. Sam and Ryusaku have played together many times in Japan and this time they were joined by the dynamic Takashi. Their music can be both sparse and osmotic, traversing between free jazz and a cinematic, ambient vibe. The raw sound of the Japanese duo meshes perfectly with Sam’s electronic/noise guitar. A magic night and a magic collaboration.

Les particules dissimulées

Les Particules Dissimulées_snippet by Sam Rouanet and Giovanni Verga

The album Artico Nero was highly inspired by the book 'Artico Nero' written by the anthropologist Matteo Meschiari and from which the record takes the same name. 

The image suggested by Meschiari brought Giovanni Verga to that 'abstract exoticism' where 'wilderness' meets the colossal disintegration of the Arctic. 

"That extreme north where the end of a world, is anticipating the end of the world," - M.Meschiari

Thanks: 

This record would never have existed without the inspiring stories and unique anthropology of Matteo Meschiari 

Thank you also to the idea of Gianni Gebbia who wisely brought together Matteo and Giovanni at the "Anassimandro" festival in Palermo in March 2017 and where the music of Artico Nero was played after the reading of Matteo Meschiari. 

Composed, performed, mixed and mastered in Berlin by Giovanni Verga
