The composers of these pieces belong to the center Tempo Reale, Florence and the Conservatory of Music G.B. Martini, Bologna. =========================== Carlo Maria Amadio - Un tributo a Jaco Pastorius (2011) 5’36 It is an electro-acoustic composition made on pre existent materials taken from Jaco Pastorius and Weather report music. I've tried to select and rework the most characteristic features of Pastorius poetry of playing. Carlo Maria Amadio is currently involved in different fields of electronic music as composer, live performer, student and obviously listener. He is currently attending the last year of the Electronic Music course at Conservatory “G.B. Martini ” of Bologna where he had the occasion of playing in two concerts mainly focused on improvisation and live electronic performance. In addition to the academic experiences he performed with HOLO – laptop ensamble and in May of 2013 he have released on Soluxion Record Netlabel his first EP, a work focused on techno music. Salvatore Miele - La Natura frattale (2011) 10’42” La Natura frattale is an acousmatic composition inspired by soundscapes concerning the self-similarity, which characterizes the fractal, as well as in the selection of material and gestural elements.

  • Sardinian Composers of Contemporary Music
    Interdisciplinary Studies in Musicology 12,2012 © PTPN & Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, Poznań 2012 CONSUELO GIGLIO Music Conservatory, Trapani Sardinian composers of contemporary music ABSTRACT: The meeting point between the school headed by Franco Oppo and the rich traditional music of the island gave birth in Sardinia to an intense flowering in the field of New Music, with a strong feeling of belonging and a constant call for a positive concept of identity. Thus, since the time of Oppo (1935) and his contemporary Vittorio Montis, we come across many composers that differ between each other but are almost always recognizably “Sardinian”. Oppo has been one of the most interesting figures on the international scene during the last few decades. After his studies in Rome, Venice and Poland in the early 1960s, he remained, by his own choice, in his home territory, sharing his “Sardinian-ness” in a free and dialectic manner with the avant-garde. After formulating his own particular aleatory approach, Oppo reached a turning point halfway through the 1970s: in Musica per chitarra e quartetto d’archi, Praxodia and, finally, in Anninnia I, the meeting point between avant-garde research and the special phonic quality of tra­ ditional music became more and more close-knit and organic, at the same time also acting on the founding language structure whilst still remaining under the control of incisive and informed dis­ ciplines (during the same period, moreover, he put forward new methodologies of analysis which were also necessary for his teaching). In this sense the most important works are chamber pieces like Anninnia I and II (1978, 1982), Attitidu (1983) and Sagra (1985), the theatrical work Eleonora d’Arborea (1986), some piano “transcriptions” - the Three berceuses (1982), Gallurese and Baroniese (1989; 1993) - Trio III (1994), Sonata B for percussion and piano (2005) and the two Concerts for piano and orchestra (1995-97; 2002).

List of attachments 12 1 1.0 THEMES AND PROBLEMS 1.1 Introduction and goals “Acousmatic sound”, or electro-sound lacking the immediate visual bond to the acoustic means of production, is common in concert halls, in art galleries and in public-space art installations. Yet although composers, performers and sound-artists often are clear in their reasons for incorporating this art form into their work, the problem of how to perform ‘non- visual’ sound, and how its presentation is embedded in its creation, is an area shrouded in vagueness and ambiguity. The project will create a number of fully documented compositions and performances designed to investigate and present solutions to three problematic areas in the creation and performance of acousmatic related electro-sound: • The relationship between the content of the music and the way it is performed: the project will combine composition and performance in both fixed and flexible music forms, focusing on the connection between composed intentions and performance practice. • The position of the audience in the concert experience: the project will find alternatives to the conventional approach of audiences ‘watching’ loudspeakers by experimenting with how the audience can explore their own relationship to performance- and public-spaces through flexible room interiors and practical ‘atmosphere architecture’.

  • Experimental Electronic Music and Sound Art in Italy
    Coda Sound Bytes: Experimental Electronic Music and Sound Art in Italy Arielle Saiber In Peter Strickland’s bold 2012 psycho-thriller film, Berberian Sound Studio, a shy British sound engineer, Gilderoy (played by Toby Jones), descends into a swirling madness produced by the screams and hacking-ripping-squishing-smashing sound effects he is asked to manipulate for a 1970s Italian horror film studio.1 We never see the film he is helping to record (intriguingly titled, The Equestrian Vortex); rather we “watch” its sounds. In this analogue production world, Gilderoy and the other foley artists decimate watermelons, cabbages, and other produce with machetes and hammers; women wail in sound booths; and our protagonist gradually comes unhinged. Immersed in the sound of horror and the horror of sound, Gilderoy slowly fuses with the movie he is making: his words by the end of the film are dubbed into Italian. Strickland’s film is on the one hand an ambivalent indictment—by turns funny, horrific, and poignant—of shady producers, whose faux intellectualism fails to raise to the level of art their cynical packaging of rape and torture fantasy as profitable entertainment. On the other hand Berberian Sound Studio is equally an homage to Italy’s splatter films from the 1960s and ‘70s, a tribute to the invisible and complex work of sound engineers and the art of eliciting affect through acoustical manipulation. It is also a nod to famed composers such as Bruno Maderna (1920- 1973), Ennio Morricone (b. 1928), and Angelo Badalamenti (b. 1937), who scored horror and thriller soundtracks (as well as blockbusters, art films, and television productions); to the Italian prog rock band Goblin, who contributed the terrifying, iconic soundtracks to Dario Argento’s Profondo Rosso and Suspiria; and perhaps to the 1970s psychedelic- electro-rock collective, Insieme Musica Diversa.

  • An Overview of Recent Decades
    Interdisciplinary Studies in Musicology 12,2012 © PTPN & Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, Poznań 2012 ALESSANDRO MASTROPIETRO Departament of Humanities, Catania University Contemporary Music in Central Italy: an Overview of Recent Decades ABSTRACT: The present article tries to make thematic the geographical plan of the present volume, by examining the major focal points of Contemporary Music in Central Italy which act as centres dissemi­ nating compositional trends through a long-established interest in recent music, as well as didactical structures and important teachers. Clearly, Rome is a more influential centre than Florence (where the endemic tendency of Florentine culture towards a sense of order, the settlement there of Dallapiccola, and the rise of a pioneering activity in the field of electronic music since the ‘60s are noteworthy); this is due to the teaching - through different generations - of Petrassi, Guaccero, Donatoni, Corghi and now Fedele, as well as the presence of many musical institutions, and the availability of artists and writers involved in exchanges and collaborations with composers. For this reason, many composers who were educated or active in Rome developed an outstanding - often prophetic - predilection for mix-media or theatrical works. After Bussotti, Guaccero, Macchi and Bertoncini, Giorgio Battistelli is a pivotal figure representing this trend in the next generation of composers; nonetheless an aptitude for it can be perceived also in other composers from both generations (Clementi, Pennisi and Renosto; Sbordoni, Lombardi, Rendine, D’Amico and De Rossi Re), including among the younger ones Silvia Colasanti, Roberta Vacca and Francesco Antonioni. In parallel, electronic music has been cultivated by Evangelisti and Branchi, as a way of renewing musical thought and language from their foundations: researches in the musical application of digital processing have been remarkable in Rome, along with experimentation in real time sound-generation and -transfoimation (Nottoli, Lupone, Di Scipio).
