Ricardo Jacinto : cello + electronics

Making use of a sound amplification system distributed on different parts of the cello, Ricardo Jacinto explores the possibility of fragmentation of its sonic gestures and the instrument body. During the improvisations , the subtle cello timbres are linked with the sounding of the acoustic space and the surrounding soundscape , in a process that resembles a sound mapping of the musical performance in a specific time and place.

Parts and Duration
: solo to be performed by anyone with any instrument

Place the instrument horizontally. Distribute several contact microphones on its body and, while recording all the signals separately, crush it as slowly as possible with maximum pressure, at a steady speed. Arrange all the pieces in groups In a disciplined way. Diffuse the recorded audio tracks in independent speakers in the same room.

:Concert-installation for cello, electronics and objects.

CASCA was the first of a series of concert-installations using the Medusa system. This device aims for a “sonic transfiguration” of the cello´s body when in contact with the place hosting its performance. This project proposes a nomad electroacoustic instrumental device designed to accommodate a solo improvisatory discourse which incorporates specific sonic characteristics (aural architecture, soundscape flow, material conditions) of the place where it is installed and performed, addressing questions of site-specificity both in the installation setup as well as in the musical performance. Medusa is designed to support a concert situation that “feeds” a stand alone, interactive installation.

At the Colégio das Artes in Coimbra the pre-existing structure of an exhibition room (designed by Arch. João Mendes Ribeiro) was used as the resonating object for the performance sounds.
