From June 30 to July 3 I’ll be at NIME, the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression, which is taking place at Goldsmiths, University of London.
On thursday I’ll be presenting with Rodrigo Schramm a poster entitled “Use of Body Motion to Enhance Traditional Musical Instruments: A Multimodal Embodied Approach to Gesture Mapping, Composition and Performance”
The whole programme is really good this year, see you there!
On 16th and 17th I’ll be at Ircam in Paris for MOCO’14 – International Workshop on Movement and Computing.
I’m presenting a paper co-written with Rodrigo Schramm entitled Gesture in performance with traditional musical instruments and electronics – Use of embodied music cognition and multimodal motion capture to design gestural mapping strategies, which will be soon available for download through the ACM Conference Proceedings Series.
UPDATE: you can now find it in the ACM Digital Library. Here’s the bibtex entry.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most common of the five motor neuron diseases, it is characterized by progressive degeneration of the upper and lower motor neurons of the spinal cord.
This interdisciplinary project presents a way of employing music and immersive media in order to illustrate the biomolecular processes behind the progress of ALS and thus help raise awareness in the greater public.
This work is an international collaboration between the David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles, USA, the Dipartimento di Scienze Mediche e Chirurgiche, Università di Bologna, Italy, and the Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research, Plymouth University, UK.
Supported by the Santander Postgraduate Internationalisation Scholarship.

I’m co-leading CrAcK, a one-month exchange project with the Middle East organized by In_Ocula, a contemporary theatre company based in Faenza.
The project started on the 15th September when two artists from Beirut (Rabee Kiwan, painter and Ayman Nahle, video maker) arrived in Faenza to work with us on a live multimedia performance.
My role in it is to design the sound of the performance and to find ways of interaction across the different media involved.
This Saturday, 5th October, the results of the first three weeks of work will debut at MIC – Museo Internazionale delle Ceramiche in Faenza with two shows, at 19.00 and 20.00.
Following that, In_Ocula will hold workshops for the students of the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna and perform CrAcK once again there.
I’ll be playing at Moog in Ravenna on Sunday 22/9/2013 for CHORDOPHONICA, a night dedicated to experimental guitar playing.
I will share the stage with two friends, Sharif Sehnaoui (pictured) and Luca Baldini.
See you there!
This weekend I’m going to present a new live set at WAM! Festival. My gig will be on Sunday night, h 23.
I’ll be there also with in_Ocula for Mind Bombing. Check out the program!
This weekend I’ll be attending the Wireless sensing for music, environments, and performance with Sense/Stage workshop at STEIM in Amsterdam.
Sense/Stage is a low cost, open source wireless sensor infrastructure for live performance and interactive, real-time environments.
STEIM is the STudio for Electro-Instrumental Music, an independent electronic music center unique in its dedication to live performance. The foundation’s artistic and technical departments support an international community of performers, musicians, and visual artists, to develop unique instruments for their work.
Here are some photos from “Ricordo Isocrono” my performance at Festival Frattale 2013.

Here some press cuts about the festival:
“Ricordo Isocrono” è una performance musicale e visiva pensata appositamente per uno degli spazi di Festival Frattale.
Un set di musica elettroacustica si intreccia ad immagini di un recente passato che trovano una nuova isocronia con l’atto performativo, nel qui e ora.
Le componenti visive, sonore e spaziali si sovrappongono, sostenute da una tela di rimandi narrativi e gestuali.
Mercoledì 29/5/2013. Ravenna, Vicolo Violino 20.
Inizio ore 20.30. Evento Facebook

Some of the pictures I took in the warehouse in Ravenna near the “darsena”, where I recorded some material for my solo electroacoustic project.
All the pictures were shoot by me using a tripod and long multi-exposures, only few minor adjustments were made after.
