My rework of Crapatouille by Bob Hermit on his EP Memorial Dodging out on Riforma

The rework reprograms and deconstruct the original sounds mixing them with intricate and mutable rythms typical of nesso’s style. The use of self built softwares and programming environments higly affects the sonic output and creative process, contamitaning the original materials from a human and artificial perspective.

Crapatouille (Nesso Rework)

Music recorded while developing my live coding environment during my master research project at the Institute of Sonology

Micro sound

New drums

Process oriented

This recording starts from a static moment, that is, a moment when the system receives no sound input. The sound in the first minute is given by the interaction of the granulator and the automatic textures. When percussive grains are played at minute one, this changes the balance of the system, which then reestablishes itself to another balance after the excitatory sounds disappear again.

In this recording the granulator behaves in an unexpected way when interacting with the automatic textures. The hypothesis is that the type of timbre is related to a fill factor sectorial greater than 1 that creates an overlapping between the grains. Due to the appreciation of this rec, I have improved the granualtor by adding an adaptive control of various parameters in relation to the behavior of the system.

Interesting is the behavior of the granulator in this rec that develops a series of micro rhythms that interact with the automatic textures. Currently there is no control over these rhythms that occur spontaneously, it could be interesting to consider having a control that can encourage this behavior.

More automatic adaptive texture layers were added in this excerpt, specifically rich low-frequency sounds that sometimes saturate, feedback loops that develop harmonic materials from the input, and reverberated textures processed with a tremolo-like amp modulation effect. Overlapping of more differentiated automatic textures seem to yield richer, more organic results, but the logic by which they are activated is still primitive. Some moments in the recording suggest that particular pairings between these textures give better results than others, and that a mechanism could be implemented to prevent the same combinations from recurring.

Excerpt from live at The Grey Space (The Hague)

Abrasiv Jam

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.

Live at default

Live at default (excerpt)

"Time debris" was performed by Francesco Corvi on the 9th of February 2022 as part of his master research project at Den Haag’s Institute of Sonology. The work is loosely inspired by "The Order of Time," the influential text written by physicist and philosopher Carlo Rovelli.
