Cosmik Sounds With Kristina May 13.12.23

The intricate sonic activity behind 'Live at default' testifies to Francesco Corvi's recent post-acousmatic practice. Intense multi-layered textures and rich synthetic soundscapes are fused with micro-sounds. Highly detailed digital noise is made warm and enchanting by the live performance and ambience recordings, and reaches its best character on magnetic tape.

"In my practice software is not conceived as an instrument, neither as a virtual agent, but rather as a dynamic network of interconnected components that exhibit emergent properties by monitoring their own behavior, adapt to changes and alter their own structure. Immersed in this ecosystem of sonic processes, I shape the unfolding of the performance by modifying the software on stage and responding to its behavior. This peculiar form of improvisation possesses a unique performative idiom that cannot be reduced to bodily gestures or human intentions, as the sonic activity itself becomes the medium for conveying the liveness of the performance. This release focuses on how such a feeling of liveness might be translated into a record, placing particular attention on the capturing of the acoustic space of the concert hall and the additional layer of meaning it creates."

Francesco Corvi (aka nesso) is a performer, composer, and multimedia artist. He works with custom digital technologies including live coding environments, adaptive systems, and spatial audio engines,
creating shows at the intersection of computer music, new media art, and deconstructed club. He released music on Superpang, Kaer'Uiks, Genot Centre, HEEL.ZONE, Mossa records, Riforma.

Where Horizon Sparks

Forgotten Dreams

Regulator Incident

We are living the dawn of artificial intelligence and it's a wave we can't stop. I've been intrigued by this idea throughout the majority of my life, yet I cannot fully express in words the fear I now feel at its gates.

From Hollywood to Japanese animation, the majority of sci-fi infused dystopian atmospheres to this concept..yet all of it felt so far fetched and out of my lifetime; (and although never seemed impossible) at the time felt something exclusively for enjoyment purposes...yet, here we are.

Don't get me wrong, the aesthetic is just right, I will always be entertained by experiencing a vision of some future; something that is an evolution of life at the moment, yet honestly, as much as I'm inspired by it, I cannot help but feel a bit xenophobic on this matter (as a normal 21st century person should feel, I might add..)

Anyways..one particular monument of this theme is 'Ghost In The Shell' (1995) by the genius of Masamune Shirow, which offers insights on the first instances of silicon-based sentience. 'The Power Of A Shell Is The Power Of Its Ghost' is an ambient piece I've composed inspired by this theme.

The Power Of A Shell Is The Power Of Its Ghost

Recorded & mixed by H.C.N. in winter 2024, in Geräuschkammer IV, Athens/Greece. 
Released in H.C.N.'s album "Todeslust" [limited C60 cassette edition released via S.E.C.T. SECT034, 2024].

recluse

the world might be limited by the lifetime capabilities of one's sentience. if the only source of knowledge is through oneself, then oneself is the limit of the world.
