Interreferences

Interreference.4

A quickly-thrown-together piece inspired by Spring 2021 in England: gradually emerging, somewhat changed, from the COVID-19 crisis. A small message of hope for the whole world.

Resilience

This work is developed essentially on the analysis of double bass timbre. I started from various recordings of timbre so the complex nuances that characterize the different modes of execution by the double bassist. After having selected the most interesting parts on the timbre level, I manipulated the sound material projecting it in an acousmatic dimension therefore unrecognizable and distant from the human gesture.

Double Bass Mystery was selected for the Métamorphoses 2022 - International Acousmatic Music Competition // Electroprésence // Influx, and for the FILE - Electronic Language International Festival 2023.

Double Bass Mystery

Finestre atemporali si aprono su Vigevano; come nella pittura, attraverso la fissazione del tratto e dei colori, così avviene una traslazione di immagini visive sul piano acustico. In questa tavolozza sonora si presentano scenari imprevedibili che incarnano l'anima "concrète" dell'opera. È un procedere non regolare in un insieme multilineare, in cui l'ossatura e il livello macro-formale del brano sono sottoposti a "scosse", interferenze, fratture e inflessioni, in uno stato di tensione verso un dispiegarsi ramificato nello spazio acustico - inevitabili le citazioni storico-sociali in cui viviamo -. Dunque una revisione, un'analisi e manipolazione delle "fonti reali", che aprono all'ascoltatore un nuovo regno di cause immaginarie.

Vigevano su tela was selected for the Vigevano Soundscapes Musical Composition Contest 2022.

Omen [Excerpt]

Claustro 5.1 (for Huw Mcgregor) 

Derived from the Latin, "claustrum," meaning "shut-in" or "enclosure." Claustro is the third composition in a series of works which explore aural micro-space. A sounding place of improved intelligibility through greater aural intimacy. The work is an invitation to come in and listen out for the thin line between philia and phobia that such places evoke. The discontinuous and non-homogenous nature of acoustic space inspires the arrangement of sound materials here.  Recordings of original sound sources were conducted using a micro multichannel array designed and built in collaboration with Huw Mcgregor.

Claustro Stereo Reduction

Two worlds, photography and Sound Art mixed together.
/ latente / photo book by Claudio Rosa and music by SAN Ā T ANA.

Analog photography, used as a means of orientation within a new collective human condition, intimately reveals a vitality forced into domestic environments where presences and absences interpenetrate and coexist.

The Frames
Photographs taken using an analog point-and-shoot camera loaded with 400 ISO Kentmere black and white film. The entire process of shooting, developing the negatives and acquiring the images was performed by the artist in his own laboratory.

The Music
7 short compositions based on repetition were born as a function of the image. The geometries and the superimpositions of the different planes intersect and interpenetrate, showing a vitality not yet considered. The music therefore tries to tell what is hidden but which somehow re-emerges, generating a loop of different states of being.

Claudio Rosa, visual artist, originally from Sant’Antioco, carries on his double research on visual perception and on the reuse of objects of mass consumption characterized by a strong geometry. His art seeks the spontaneity of a child's play but does so through a methodical, and even obsessive, semantic processing, apparently cold but deeply linked to childhood.

SANĀTANA aka Marco Salaris is a musician born in Sardinia in 1988. His music has its roots in Noise and Drone Music, developing and finding new trajectories more akin to Electroacoustic and avant-garde music. His creative process is articulated around the improvisation, listening and sound processing practices, typical of Electronic Music. In 2019 he released his first solo album "SANATANA" for the SUPRANU Records label.

His electroacoustic compositions and his video works have been selected and performed at various international festivals.

He also carries out the necessary field recordings, mixing, and mastering.
He performed at the following international events: Signal Festival, Tempo Reale Festival, Di_Stanze Festival, Time In Jazz, Multiversal Festival, Music In Touch, Miniere Sonore, Acusmatica in Movimento, Spaziomusica Festival, Contemporary -Festival Arte d'Avanguardia- and more. He collaborated with several artists and cultural associations: with Amici della Musica di Cagliari at the international festival Interpretazione della Musica Acusmatica. With Carovana S.M.I., composing and performing original music for the contemporary dance show Paesaggi Interrotti.
His research interests focus on the phenomenology of sound that investigates perceptual and aesthetic dynamics through which the sound phenomenon becomes musical experience. His concept of musical process is built upon three aspects: construction, manipulation, and organization of the sound material by means of electroacoustic and digital technologies. Once these three phases have been completed, the musical composition comes to life.
Co-founder and member of the improvisational electroacoustic trio Terminale_3.
