Featuring artwork from Luca Lionello, it touches on ancient mystic ideas and sentiment, attempting the impossible task of touching the sublime through art.

L'anatra digeritrice (in francese Le Canard Digérateur) era un automa con sembianze d'anatra progettato da Jacques de Vaucanson nel 1739.
Questo prodigio della meccanica, che impressionò Voltaire e i contemporanei, riproduceva con minuzia iperrealista i movimenti dell'animale. La sua peculiarità più sorprendente, la capacità di ingerire, digerire e defecare cibo, era però soltanto apparente. Nessun reale processo digestivo avveniva all'interno dell'automa, ma un semplice scambio di cibo con feci (dovranno passare quasi tre secoli prima che un vero sistema digestivo meccanico, la Cloaca Machine di Wim Delvoye, veda il giorno). Al pari del celebre "turco" di von Kempelen (l'automa che giocava a scacchi, in realtà azionato da un nano), ci troviamo di fronte ad una frode. Non si tratta però del gioco delle tre carte. Il fatto che i più geniali inventori del tempo ricorsero alla truffa non è nient'altro che l'espressione dell'impasse del riduzionismo meccanicista di fronte alla simulazione dell'intelligenza logico-associativa (nel caso del "turco") o delle parti molli (il cosiddetto "wetware") della fisiologia animale. È la netta presa di coscienza di un limite.
Parlare di automi e di ozio è quasi una tautologia. A differenza di Golem e Robot, infaticabili lavoratori subordinati all'uomo (almeno finché non sopraggiunge l'ammutinamento), l'automa non ha alcun lavoro da portare a compimento. Vive una vita tranquilla, esibendo i suoi meccanismi e anelando ad un irraggiungibile modello organico. È sostanzialmente inutile.

"Anatra digeritrice" vuole essere una piccole collezione di questi meccanismi che girano a vuoto.

Il pezzo, commissionato nell’ambito del progetto «Nuova musica alla Fenice», è dedicato a Giovanni Morelli.

**********************

As a kid we had a television set with an antenna that rotated (you could rotate it from inside of your house). When the major channels would go off-air you could rotate it and pick up strange other channels from smaller cities around - from across the border, Buffalo and so on - and you would see strange things, that were kind of hard to see (there was a lot of static) and it was very intriguing to watch that kind of things. That was really the core, the crystal at the centre of this movie: my experience with that thinking “what if the images that you pulled up were really quite extreme, disturbing, possibly illegal, and what would you think then, would you keep seeking out those channels or would you call the police or what would you do, how would you respond to them?”

The Max Headroom broadcast signal intrusion was a television signal hijacking (probably the most famous and certainly the longest signal hijacking ever) that occurred in Chicago, Illinois, United States on the evening of November 22, 1987. The signal pirates, whose identities were never found, succeeded in getting their broadcast intruded onto WTTW (a local Public Broadcasting Service television station).
The pirate broadcast, which lasted 90 endless seconds, featured an individual disguised as Max Headroom (a sci-fi computer-generated television character quite popular in the 80s, coming from dystopian near-future dominated by television and large corporations).
Around 11:15 p.m. an episode of the British TV-Series Doctor Who was suddenly interrupted by television static, after which an unidentified man wearing a Max Headroom mask and sunglasses appeared. The man started to moan, scream and laugh, uttering various random phrases (the audio was distorted and crackling), including New Coke's advertising slogan "Catch the Wave" while holding a Pepsi can (Max Headroom was a Coca-Cola spokesperson at the time). He then tossed the can out of sight, presented his middle finger wearing a rubber extension, sang an excerpt of “I’m losing you” (a 1966 Motown hit recorded by the Temptations), hummed the theme song of Clutch Cargo (a clumsily-animated television series of the 60s), moaned painfully complaining about his piles, farted, put on and off a giant glove (similar to the one worn by Michael Jackson at the time). He then partially exposed his buttocks, howling: "They're coming to get me!”, while an unidentified female accomplice wearing a French maid outfit started to spank him with a flyswatter. The transmission then blacked out for a few seconds before resuming the Doctor Who episode in progress.

“The 1987 Max Headroom Broadcast Incident” features a string quartet “enhanced” with transducers and preparations. 
The digital processing of the instruments is largely inspired by the same modulation techniques that were - and still are - commonly used for radio and television transmission. 
The piece, an hommage to obsolete or soon-to-be deprecated technologies and to the media-dominated, dark future that the “cyberpunk” sci-fi of 80s foretold, is dedicated to the memory of Fausto Romitelli.
