  • CrAcK – Italy

    CrAcK – Italy

    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.

    Ricordo Isocrono @ Festival Frattale

    “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

    Posti limitati, consigliata prenotazione.

    Photos from the Warehouse

    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.

  • Leaving Beirut

    Leaving Beirut

    I’m back home after some wonderful days in Beirut.

    I completely forgot to ask some friend to take pictures during my concert at Yukunkun, luckily Maria Kassab snapped a couple of pictures with her mobile phone, I have also taken a picture of the set during the soundcheck. Thanks to Sharif Sehnaoui for inviting me and to all the people that came to the concert, the feedback I received was really lovely.

  • A sound postcard from Beirut

    A sound postcard from Beirut

    This is a processed field recording taken on 19/04/13 in Hamra Street, Beirut, Lebanon.
    It was sent the same day to Italy to be played during a live performance of Kisses From Mars in Ravenna. It is therefore a sort of sound postcard from Beirut.
