I borrowed the idea of Anatomical Machines from the rooms of Raimondo di Sangro’s palace, two human skeletons wrapped in their articulated artery and vein system, reproduced in all its complexity and biological (im)perfection. I was fascinated by the idea of an artificial machine, and therefore perfect, united to that of a natural, imperfect one; the idea of something incorruptible and unalterable from one side and defective and perishable on the other; the alienating repetition of artificial mechanisms and the deformed regularity of human ones. When I tried to express this into sound and into the organization of it, a third anatomical machine was born, a sound machine that is hard to set in motion and intended to decompose itself due its own internal mechanisms.

Claudio Panariello - "Flebili Stelle Nere"

This is a fixed media piece based on a text setting by Carlo Bernardini (my father) titled 'La maledizione del Generale Mladic' ('The curse of General Mladic') and is based on real world facts concerning the serb-bosnian war. I started composing it in 1995 and completed it in 1999. It was premiered at the Aahrus Festival Week in Aahrus, Denmark that same year. The voice fragments heard are by: Carlo Bernardini Sr., Giuliano Manacorda, Giovanni Calvaresi, Silvia Tamburini, Caterina Quaresima, Claudia Calvaresi, Cecilia Bernardini Sr., Nicola Bernardini, Alessandro Manacorda, Cecilia Bernardini Jr., Carlo Bernardini Jr. The sounds of this piece follow a specific front spatial technique which is sensitive to the size of the location in which it gets played, and accordingly there are several versions for different kinds of venues. This version is the "small hall" one that was used for the premiere performance in Aahrus.
