Stefano Martino - Ex silentio

Static

The spike organ or nail chello (sic) is thought to originate from an early middle Europe monastic sect, the Iscariotians. They may have used the instrument to accompany their lengthy rituals contemplating the pain of the crucifixion.  

The Iscariotians are said to have been wiped out by returning crusaders at the behest of emperor Leopold III. Other commentators have suggested that the whole story may have been a constructed  alibi for the defeated crusaders plunder and desecration of the brewery of ..Santa Quaffa...


A possible surviving 'chello' object, made from of lignum vitae and iron, resides in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen. Its interpretation is not without controversy with some critics asserting the object is nothing more than a kind of agricultural implement, though this does not explain its cruciform shape and carved decoration.

In 1972 the scholar . Roland de Févin was granted permission to investigate the Rouen Chello, explore its sound making capabilities and make recordings. his theory was that the instrument was to be played by a rosined bow.  Unfortunately de Févin's playing and handling resulted in two of the nails fracturing and so the investigation was terminated after only one day. The single recording de Févin made was never released but it was played to audiences on an European lecture tour he conducted shortly before his death in 1974. 

It has been subsequently alleged that de Févin's  investigation  coincided with the great fire at  Nantes cathedral. This lead to several occultist conspiracy theories, most notably retold in the pulp fiction novel Blood Nail-(Brownie Dane,1975) much of the plot was lifted for the Italian soft core film Sistero Orgasma (1977) where the action was switched away from a monastery to a scantily clad convent.(citation needed) 

On the film soundtrack, the sounds of the Chello were replicated by experimental electronic synthesiser the achoirorium- itself the  subject of intrigue- as its extremely high operating voltages caused the death of its creator  Luigi soon after the recording session.


This recording was made in 1980 by UK avant geographer Forster Iberix who attended several of de Févin's lectures.  He set about building a replica device and making reconstructions of the Iscariotarian mass based on a column of scribbled numbers  which appear reverso  in one of Leonardo da Vinci's codex's (Coded notebooks). The recording was released on an untitled flexi disk issued by cult French label sordide sentimental -who now deny any knowledge of its existence. It does not appear on their official discography.  Improbably- Haringey local studies library, London, has a copy in their archive. The library does not provide any method of playback for the flexidisc and items from the archive cannot be withdrawn -so some subterfuge was involved in me getting this track taped. Whilst the disk was in my possession an inexplicable number of minor disasters befell me -so I can assure you I hurriedly returned it.

The Nail Chello (disquiet0385)

Disconnection

An Integration

The condition of the posthuman, the impotence of our life in the face of choices forced by "normal society" such as pumping petrol and polluting to go to work, polluting to make a living in a certain sense, polluting to survive... Capitalism has been converted into an algorithm and today these calculations are ungovernable and we become aware while dancing among the ruins distorted by plastic people.  Perhaps there is our first line of ideological war, philosophical resistance, sowing the idea of ​​knowledge starting from the Ruins and Macabre Dances....for Now...let's meditate....

In this piece I used sounds recorded in a domestic environment.
Sounds recorded and converted into a daw with granular synthesis, slowing of sounds and reverberated sound spaces give life to this sound environment not entirely innovative, but unique in its form
Taking up the mechanisms of the pioneers of concrete music and acousmatic art, I tried to rework the sounds of the world and of everyday life by creating this experimental flow.
Good Listening to all those who wish to have a meditative approach to electronic music created with recorders

In questo brano ho utilizzato dei suoni registrati in ambiente domestico.
Suoni registrati e convertiti in una daw con sintesi granulare , rallentamento dei suoni e spazi sonori riverberati danno vita a questo ambiente sonoro non del tutto innovativo, ma unico nella sua forma
Riprendendo i meccanismi dei pionieri della musica concreta e dell'arte acusmatica , ho cercato di rielaborare i suoni del mondo e della vita di tutti i giorni creando questo flusso sperimentale.
Buon Ascolto a tutti quelli che desiderano avere un'approccio meditativo della musica elettronica creata con registratori.

Biography
Empirical as a hard sip spilling from a discharged battery. There is always a nihilistic fetish in these youngsters dealing with technology. Stefano Martino, aka R A S H, is never hiding this darkest side in his composition. His machinery becomes a ritual object within which his human state becomes an algorithmic begging of change making its appearance at warm 50 hertz complacency.

His sound exploration is elaborated through decadent, post-industrial soundscapes inscribing the full failure of a consumer society which noise becomes an evidence whilst its awareness is modelled, reworked within a dystopian hexavalent chromium taste, blended into the future. Uncannily grainy, definitely remote. Until he stumbles upon a retrofuture device. Namely, a mono synth.Owner of  AreaAudio for Infestazioni Soniche Festival / R A S H lab

Musical culture becomes a matter of musical empiricism.
Based on your artistic sensibility in emotionally perceiving any form of sound, based on the conformation of your electronic musical idea.
Electronic music knows no auroras and no borders, on the contrary, it resembles an open, unlimited field where you can visit the pioneering worlds of electronic music up to the innovative ones, anticipating in a certain sense the FUTURE.
