Duration: 9'40''Sound diffusion: 3 frontal loudspeakers with subwoofer and 2 exciters on two steel cans.

Dissipatio HG is an homage to the same title post-apocalyptic novel by Guido Morselli, published posthumously in 1977 and written shortly before his death by suicide, which is also the theme of the novel: the dissipation of the entire human race is the sudden and unexpected context in which the suicide loses meaning. Only audiovisual residuals and mechanical devices remain to testify the past existence of mankind, in a mediated new relation with the world where the concepts of time, space and language are newly defined paradigms. The piece reveals a sound dramaturgy, a search for a relationship and for a new language in which the voice of the bass clarinet tries to reconstruct his selfawareness in a context of illegible signals and disregarded responses, where the electronics shape the perception of time, and the accidental synchronicities are nothing more than a lack of mimesis of residual and no longer present sounds. The dissipation of the sound matches the loss of direction, emphasized by the sound degradation processes and the diffusion through transducers applied to steel cans, which flank the more canonical diffusion of electronics. Bass clarinet: Raffaella Palumbo
