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 (excerpt)

CHRONOLITHE 12 pm Tuesday 27.02 Lyl radio

Ce collage sonore porté sur la voix : parlée, prononcée, bredouillée, chantée, est un assemblage de field recording, musiques électroacoustiques et chants traditionnels de Sardaigne, de Bretagne, de Bulgarie, de Mantras argentins et pakistanais, mais aussi : d’une respiration inversée et de poils qui crépitent, de Space Lady dans son jardin au printemps, d’une séance de spiritisme qui fonctionne, d’un ordinateur qui s’appelle John Wayne, de mâts sifflants sur le port de Locmiquélic, d’une balade nocturne en Aveyron et d’un animal non identifié, d’un cours de yoga, d’un apprentissage d’un sonnet de Shakespeare, de chuchotements imperceptibles et d’un enfant qui veut vous croquer l’oreille.
L’instrument, capté à travers des époques et des territoires disparates, devient le matériau élémentaire, presque le liant, d’un composite sonore. Sa permanence se fait révélatrice de ses conditions d’enregistrement et de leur granularité singulière.
Les percussions résonantes de Felicia Atkinson entrent en écho avec celles de Geir Jenssen recueillies au Tibet , les nappes électriques vivantes d’Aho Saan parfument les micros sons de Qoa - issus d’une biocénose Abletonienne qui titille le tympan - Le ressac thailandais dans les tuyaux vibrants de Félix Blume donne un espace aquatique à la monodie de Roxane Métayer et autres jeux d’associations d’hétérophonies.
