Sound diffusion: quadriphonic
A Tuning Study: Montepulciano is a site-specific sound installation that originates from the mapping of the tonics, signals, and sound imprints that define the city's sound ecosystem. Deterministic and random processes of synthesis, intrinsically connected to the timbral characteristics of the recorded material through the processes of spectral analysis and auto-convolution, were used to generate a new soundscape, at once identifiable and imaginative. The soundscape was divided into three bands: the upper band (aerial), the middle band (proper to human activities), and the lower band (underground), each of which was investigated with the use of dedicated microphones and filming techniques, documenting the sound contexts both neutrally and through the solicitation of materials, vibrating bodies, mechanical objects and surfaces present in the areas of investigation, in order to analyze their timbral potential and activate a dialogue with the context.

Sound diffusion: 10 channel self constructed speakers
Blooming Siarrino is a site specific sound installation dedicated to the compositional thought of Salvatore Sciarrino, created by the sound artists Nicola Cappelletti and Mattia Parisse.
A 10-channel system of self-built loudspeakers, Dialettica Liminale (by Nicola Cappelletti), uses the Conicetra sound sculpture (by Mattia Parisse) as a sound source to inhabit the acoustic space, letting the resonant frequencies of the architectural environment emerge through a repeated process of overdubbing the original sound with the echoing resulting sound.
A generative algorithm asymmetrically spatializes the sound with a random temporal granulation thus creating a sound ecosystem sensitive to every minimum timbre variation.
Blooming Sciarrino is a commission by Opificio Sonoro.

Evolution 221
acousmatic binaural site specific composition
2022
Duration: 7'37''
Sound diffusion: binaural (headphones)
Evolution 221 is an electroacoustic piece that investigates the relationship between man and nature from an acoustic point of view, investigating the ecological and sustainability aspects of that relation. Written in connection with the sound and visual context of the Pharo Park of the city of Marseille, to be performed only through an headphone concert in the same location, the piece presents an electroacoustic processing of discarded and recycled sound materials, deliberately elaborated to find an ideal acoustic imprint of all the passages and crossings that this place has seen over the centuries: the city, the sea, the port, the view of the horizon lines, the park and the human relationship with nature, make up an ideal sound time lapse through space and time, imposing a reflection on the kind of evolution we are participating in.
Performances
