Body Maps
by Barbara De Dominicis


Body Maps has been inspired by Jean Luc Nancy’s Corpus.
These tracks evolved from a series of recording sessions held in Italy between 2019 and 2021.
A blend of spoken word, electroacoustic textures and instruments, found sounds and voice, these tracks evolved from a series of recording sessions held in Italy between 2018 and 2021. 
This release had a quite long incubation, almost two years and a half of tryouts, interruptions and afterthoughts to find a possible way to decipher this ineffable and particularly crucial moment of Barbara’s life.
The lyrics represent the attempt to transfigure the fragility into which her body was definitely sinking: a private emotional labyrinth made of abandonment, imperfection, vulnerability, time, alienation, sensuality, illness, identity. A sad and carnal quasi geography of the body, strongly related to a denied, (un)revealed, recovered sensuality.
Barbara wanted the music to preserve a sense of vulnerability and spontaneity therefore during the post production process she kept plenty of unvarnished sounds (teeth, fingers, mouth), half broken melodies, cracked words, ghostly echoes.
The generous musicians involved improvised following very subtle suggestions in the attempt to paint a picture in which everything is exposed to unexpected change; a kaleidoscope of sensations tied to disbelief, fear, and sudden absence.
The fluctuating vocal melodies fade into the electroacoustic interventions of Marco Bonini (electronics and guitar), Giulio Maschio (drums), Elio Martusciello (guitar, bass, synths, manipulations), Marco Messina (electronics), Massimiliano Sacchi (clarinets), Erica Scherl (violin), Andrea Serrapiglio (cello), Teho Teardo (guitar, piano, strings), and weaving languidly in and out, in a slow fragmented exploration that is sometimes painful, sometimes steady, sometimes disorienting.
A collective but gaunt architecture opened to mesmerizing sonic landscapes around which the body unfolds its maps
The artwork is curated by Raffaella Nappo. Her multifaceted artistic practice bridges distinct realms from drawing to painting, from photography to video and installation, blending analog and digital . Her work on Body Maps portrays a world of delicate images as the footprints of a rarefied, delicate but still intense inner world.
Body Maps has been endorsed by Marco Contini’s special and encouraging gaze.

Vulnerable Interlude

Here I am
Wandering once again
Like a fallen blossom
Too fragile to stay still
Constantly undecided 
Between going and staying
Maybe this time……

The sky lays down its clouds
The tide still moves the moon
But I 'm still unsure

Don’t say a word……

Maybe this time
I’ll stay
My feet are cracked across
a season of grace
The life I had with you
 sinking after us 
like a watery image 

Your transparent fingers fading away…..

Anti-Gone

Having no planned structures, these "fragments" are intuitive musical conversations in the simplest of terms as we try to keep these "sessions" 
as spontaneous as possible.
