CD - Sirr
Tactile iterations, delicate abrasions (this is the title of the first track), meeting of surfaces and materials in an old warehouse in Santa Fé, New Mexico, where nails, dust, revolving doors, metal, glass and wood gave birth to recordings of physical experiences, but also to mental environments, placing the listeners in a new 'intensified' audio space. It's a sound art that, personally, takes me back to the spirit of concrete music of the Sixties and Seventies and to the experiments of Alvin Curran (marvelously used in 1980 by Simone Carella in a show that changed theatrical research: 'Iperurania'). Real sound rooms, abstract rooms where aspects and experiences of everyday life are inflated and, even though they may be marginal, they hint at a new vision and conscience of an everchanging reality. The search for a new center of gravity, then, takes the shape of breaths, processed in real time in a 'graphite room' to evoke spaces and contemplative structures typical of oriental (Japanese) gardens and music, or of Buddhist temples in the last track ('Mountains hidden in mountains'), revealing complex overtones and the vibrating waves they emit.
