Sunday morning and the minstrel plays his uplifting music for the villagers. A happy soul, or so it would seem, jauntily dancing and playing for the people. As they all filter into the church for the Sunday service, the minstrel sadly reflects on his life, and the mask drops for a short while.....until the villagers emerge. Once more, he cavorts and plays for the people - nobody could guess what lies beneath the mask he wears ♥

Crystal Gazing is not reserved for the darker practioners of the arts.  Sort of like meditation, but your trip down the rabbit hole shouldn’t take more than a second.  Listen to the track at your own risk.  If you have problems such as epilepsy, consult your doctor first before listening.

Bleu de Chauffe

Champagne !

The “Artefatti” are a series of pieces realized with a particular family of electroacoustic instruments: the “Geecos” - Gestural Control Surfaces.

The Geecos, conceived in collaboration with the luthier Ludovic Barrier, are special wooden surfaces having different shapes and thickness, expressly designed to control real time sound synthesis.

Sounds produced on the surface by the performer’s hands are captured via a contact microphone and finely analyzed in real time using a family of sound descriptors (ircam descriptors). 
Data issued from the sound analysis are used to finely modulate parameters of sound synthesis in real time.  In this way the musician controls the inner details of sound synthesis through the sound of his own hands.

The synthesis engine uses modal synthesis in real time (modalys © ircam) because it reacts to gestures in an (almost) physical and natural way. There is no sampled sound or sound playback.  The goal is to give the performer a control of sound similar to that of an acoustic instrument. In fact, the definition of timbre is based on the performer’s gestures and sensibility just like a violin.
For this reason Geecos stands also for "Gesture Controlled Synthesis"

The challenge is to realize an electronic music where the sounds are just sounds and not electronic sounds.

Three Geecos have been designed to date, each one with its own name, shape and dimensions.
The smallest is called Manta, the medium Olpe and the biggest one Tursiope. 
Every Geecos has a specific ergonomics to fit in multiple ways with the performer’s body and actions.
The quality of sound synthesis mostly depends from the sound produced on the surface of the instrument; for this reason “Geecos” are made of Val di Fiemme pinewood (Italy), the same used in most wooden musical instruments.

I developed this particular sound system at Ircam in Paris.

Geecos have been used for the first time in a large composition called “Voir-Toucher”, premiered on June 12th 2013 at Grande Salle of Centre Pompidou in Paris as a commission of Ircam.

The “Artefatti” are a series of free explorations of the Geecos possibilities.

Artefatto III is a Manta solo I personally improvised at Ircam, exploring four superposed layers of modal instruments:
- six tuned strings 
- a series of striked plates
- a bowed scratched string
- a low tube

The sounds are modulated only by hand gestures on Manta without any interactions with the computer.

Artefatto III - Sfiorare

lorenzo.pagliei@gmail.com
Composer, pianist, orchestral conductor, electronic musician and researcher, Lorenzo Pagliei studied with Salvatore Sciarrino, Azio Corghi, Ivan Vandor, Giorgio Nottoli and Philippe Leroux. 
He holds a PhD in Composition from the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome. The president of the examination board was Luciano Berio, with whom he later had a fruitful period of exchange on his own music.
He attended masterclasses with Gérard Grisey, Helmut Lachenmann, Brian Ferneyhough, Jonathan Harvey, Tristan Murail, Yan Maresz, Philippe Manoury, Henri Pousseur e Hugues Dufourt.

His activity has a wide range of applications: composition, research, live electronic music, sound installations, piano improvisation, orchestral conducting and collaborations with contemporary artists and choreographers.
He moved to Paris to work for several years at IRCAM, Centre Pompidou, as a composer in research and professor of electronic music.
During his researches on gesture and sound synthesis at IRCAM, he invented a family of advanced electroacoustic instruments: the Geecos (Gesture Control Surfaces/Synthesis). He collaborated with CNRS, Collège de France, for the realization of a synthesis engine and a sound installation devoted to the sonification of sub-molecular particles (Micro Particle Synthesis – Les invisibles).

He collaborated with prestigious soloists, orchestras and institutions such as Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Orchestra della Toscana, Orchestra di Padova e del Veneto, EXAUDI vocal ensemble, Quatuor Danel, Quatuor Tana, Mdi Ensemble, Divertimento Ensemble, Ars Ludi, Francesco Dillon, Arne Deforce, Jean Deroyer. Daniel Ciampolini, LeineRoebana dance company, BBC Radio 3, Ernst von Siemens Foundation, Musica Strasbourg, Wien Modern, Voix Nouvelles Royaumont, Accademia di Santa Cecilia, IUC Roma, RomaEuropa festival, Académie de France Villa Medici, Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, Arena di Verona, Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, IRCAM, CNRS - College de France, Centre Pompidou, etc.
Since 2013, his music is published by Casa Ricordi and formerly by Edizioni Suvini Zerboni.

His music is based on curved, elastic and micro-caotic time, on blurred synchronisation and on layering of different qualities of time in fluid relation (poly-temporality). He has developed flexible writing techniques in which the creative contribution of the interpreter is fundamental. The aim is to attain the freshness and vitality of the present, as in improvisation, while articulating a rigorous architecture on a large scale.
In electronic music, he tries to realise what is impossible with acoustic instruments: the synthesis of unrealistic or physically inspired sounds, the hyper-amplification of acoustic objects or instruments and the use of spatialisation to open up listening to new dramaturgical dimensions.
Another major field of interest is the voice, conceived not only as singing but also as a source of multiple behaviours. This is why his vocal scores are located in the fertile territory at the intersection of music, theatre and literature.
