Performance
Superpaesaggio
by Attila Faravelli, Enrico Malatesta, Nicola Ratti
Rocca (Fortress), Bergamo Upper Town
A performative action that explores listening as an experience of movement and relationship between body, space and sound. Led by artists Attila Faravelli, Enrico Malatesta and Nicola Ratti, participants will interact with their surroundings through portable speakers, walkmans, microphones and pre-recorded sound materials. The sound elements will be related to objects found on site in order to transform the space into an active element of the soundscape. In the context of the performance, in fact, sound is experienced not as a passive element, but as an active form of exploration and connection, within a path of discovery and participation.
Performance
Rudimenti
by Enrico Malatesta
GAMeC
An evolving project through which artist Enrico Malatesta studies the expressive potential of percussion, Rudimenti combines the writing of texts and scores with the formalization of listening exercises and the development of a constantly expanding sound archive. For this occasion, the artist will present Bilia, an instrument designed in collaboration with Attila Faravelli for the Aural Tools series composed of five wooden spheres of different types. The performance, performed entirely acoustically, will be developed according to what the artist calls a “motion of horizontality,” in which sound, gesture and space describe a sensory and relational sound weave.
