Musica Ricercata - György Ligeti

"Water" is an homage to this essential element, a small yet heartfelt step in my ongoing journey of radical, relational, and ecological listening.
We are made of water, surrounded by it - yet we so often overlook its presence, draining and polluting this vital entity.
The video was filmed at Marais Wiels, a marsh formed in 2007 in the heart of the urban center where the wilderness is reclaiming its space, defended by the local community.
The piece is composed from field recordings of flowing rivers and falling rain, layered with a melody that emerged while I was playing by the window on a rainy day.
To this, I added electronics: glitch-infused percussion, bursts of distorted accordion, and textures of sequencers and synths.
I shift between multiple perspectives of listening - from the expansive view of rainfall to the intimate dance of water molecules.
I perform the final piece using my expanded instrument, the Poliarmonica, a hybrid of accordion, pedalboards, computer electronics, and field recordings.

I am an Italian accordionist, audio enthusiast, and sound artist based in Bruxelles. I focus on the possibilities of accordion through collaborative processes with composers and artists, and I create sounds art that makes connections and listening possibilities explicit through field recording, accordion, pedalboards, electronics and synths.
I regularly performs in duo with Promenade Sauvage, I collaborates with Ictus Ensemble, I teaches accordion at the Conservatorio di Cosenza, and I am a researcher and Music Technology professor at the Conservatory of Bruxelles. I also received a Bachelor’s degree in Italian Literature and I lead BlowOutStudio. 
My stakes on this path are concerts (Konzerthaus Wien, Harvard University, Berklee College of Music, Bayreuther Festspiele, Tokyo Opera City Hall, Teatro La Fenice), discs, lectures and the project “accordion4composers”. 
I am a tireless traveler, constantly attracted by the diversity of the world and its inhabitants.
