RIMA GLOTTIDIS - ˈriːmə gl(ɒ)tidis
Un divertimento vocal-elettronico di Økapi 

Rima Glottidis è l’apertura tra le corde vocali e una cartilagine della laringe. In quel piccolo spazio è contenuto l’universo delle nostre esperienze sonore, da quelle fonetiche minime a quelle verbali. Nascono lì e, attraversando poi anche altre parti del corpo, escono da noi e ci individuano.

Bruno Maderna sosteneva che dietro a una “A” pronunciata si nasconde una complessa genesi sonora di centinaia e centinaia di frequenze difficilmente replicabili se non attraverso lo stesso paio di corde vocali. Sono consapevole che le tecnologie contemporanee stupirebbero anche Maderna. Non ho però lavorato con questa intenzione. 

Rima Glottidis è un divertimento musicale che gioca con parole e frasi che ho raccolto e ritagliato da antichi vinili di apprendimento della cosiddetta corretta dizione. Errori di pronuncia dialettale o disturbi fonatori. Errori? Qualcuno li potrebbe definire così. Per il musicista, sono suoni. Solo bei suoni.

The Økapi is a mammal which was only discovered in 1901 by an acousmatic engineer. It lives wild in the forest of the Itur Region in Upper Zaire. It was named the Okapia Johnstoni and it also commonly known as the "Daft Giraffe of the Forest". One of its strangest characteristics is that it is the only known mammal to wash out its own ears with its tongue: just to catch the weird melodies of nature! He adores those ferocious and vindictive chants that make him sway like ... and he fights relentlessly for the domination and hegemony of incorrect and unlistenable music. He hates talking about music and certain music purists of the Forest are definitely not his friends! In recent years he has played for Dogon tribal rituals and for those more intimate Metaxu deliriums, but he is considered a solitary mammal and consequently has only published one anthem to protophony for a small label of the American prairies.
