"Canale Audio" is a sound installation by the italian artists Hilario Isola, Matteo Norzi and Enrico Ascoli at Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation (Venice). It brings the unknown sound scape of the other face of Venice, the one submerged, inside the museum, revealing an unexpected urban life, if not impossible to explore with the ear.
"Canale Audio" is part of the exhibition entitled ‘A Ballad of the Flooded Museum’, curated by Paola Nicolin. The exhibition opens on Thursday 26th August 2010, during the opening days of the 12th International Architecture Exhibition of Venice. The exhibition, housed in Palazzetto Tito rooms (Dorsoduro, 2826) , is a reflection on water as a contradictory element, able to link and divide, preserve and destroy, remind and submerge forever, radically changing the perception of space, light and bodies. The project is inspired by Jacques Cousteau utopia of house settlements in Sudan deep sea and a possible life underwater.



Seesar is Will Connor's Dark Ambient Lovecraft-influenced soundscape project. Seesar constructs these dark ambient soundscapes using unnamable timbres and demented, uncanny rhythms and melodies to evoke the fear and dread expressed within the works of H. P. Lovecraft and other authors of Mythos fiction. More specifically, Seesar draws from Italian Futurism and Dadaist aesthetics, embracing the sounds of modern society that embody the end of world as it was seen around the turn of the 20th Century. It is a fitting incorporation as it parallels Lovecraft’s manifestation of modernism as Cosmic Doom. 

In part, Seesar accomplishes this realization of darkness by performing on scrap metal, turning household items into musical instruments, and building new noise-making devices to generate unique sonic additions. Employing textures provided by the inclusion of traditional musical instruments from various cultures from around the World are also part of Seesar’s music, further removing the listeners’ familiarity and expectations and thus deepening the connection to the unknown. 

Seesar is typically a solo project by percussionist Will Connor, but occasionally extends to invite guest musicians of like-minded musical goals and appreciation for Lovecraft, in order to present new, unheard disturbing passages, only made possible through these collaborations. 

By using these approaches, techniques, instruments, and sounds, Seesar performs and composes pieces that pay homage to and recreate feelings cultivated within the literary genius of Lovecraft and other tales of the Cthulhu Mythos. 

Currently, Seesar has appeared on several compilations of dark ambient music, expects the project’s first full length release on the UK label Sombre Soniks in the first quarter of 2014, and is participating in a multi-release projects of dark ambient artists providing backing music for new readings of Lovecraft and related stories by BBC voice actor, Jake Harders.
