SD/OS (analog/motion) will be running until 1st of June at Le Forme del Suono festival, Conservatory of Latina.
On Friday 4th of May I had the premier of LIES (distance/incidence) at the Conservatory of Naples. Unlike the LIES (inner variables) performance where the possible behaviours of the system are explored by modifying the internal system variables, in this new approach the behaviours are explored using microphones. Namely, the system has fixed internal variables and is configured so that different sound generators (negative feedback sub-networks with coefficients < 1, thus where no self-oscillation takes place) operate when positive acoustic feedback (Larsen) is established and have different sensitivities to the intensity and components of sound. This way the system is explored by the performer who moves in the environment and varies the distance between microphones and loudspeakers and the angle of incidence of sound.
My sound installation running at Bangor Uni in a nice sounding ATC sound system. My paper presentation went also good and quite some nice people to hang out with. And Bangor is so lovely!
Tomorrow at Bangor University for a 3-days symposium. I’ll have a talk on the LIES project + the SD/OS (presence) sound installation.
Me and Simone Pappalardo have collaborated in a sound installation for Altera festival where we put together his research on electro-magnetic fields and my feedback systems.
The Institute for the Very Very Nervous had the pleasure to play with Thomas Lehn in Palermo at Goethe Institut. We performed Cage’s Sculptures Musicales and an improvisation we really enjoyed, and we’ve also had a great time together.

The Enterico trio small tour in Italy finished yesterday. It was a lovely experience.
Nice experience in London at the 6th Digital Music Research Network. My talk went well and I’ve met nice people with interesting projects.
My friend Andrea Arcella is curating a lecture at Naples’ University L’Orientale on “Questions Concerning Rhythm in Electro-Acoustic Music”. Me, Andrea and Salvatore Carannante will discuss some points, and namely I will talk about Emergent Rhythm Phenomena with examples from my project, my collaboration with Andrea Valle and other works by Agostino Di Scipio and Toshimaru Nakamura.
I’ve spent some lovely days in Palermo with Tim Hodgkinson, Tristan Honsinger, Mary Oliver, Gandolfo Pagano and other friends. Me, Gandolfo and Tim had recording sessions and rehearsals for our trio, very satisfied of it. Then some other night, quite crazy sessions where Tristan and other musicians joined us. Great moments with great people.
And Audio Art Festival in Krakow was amazing too. A wonderful city, many interesting people and nice concerts. http://www.audio.art.pl/
Re-Volt Festival was a very nice initiative. I’m glad I took part to it.
Two of my recordings will be played at the PNEM festival on 5th and 6th of November.
8th of October Acufene project live at Goethe Institute, Palermo.
