[Leonard-Stage] gruppo presentazione

[Andrea Liuzza]

hello. i'll give some news on how our work is going on.
yesterday pierluigi, daria, sara and me gathered to make the recording with
pierlugi's good hardwares. we analized very carefully Dante's description of
Inferno's soundscape, and then we listened Diamanda Galas' interpretation of
the litanies. so, daria did a real great performance with sobs, sighs,
cries, screams, moans, laments and so on. we followed this idea: a very soft
and teder cry for the bathroom, almost inaudible. and an opposite, extreme,
Diamanda-Galas-like set of cries for the atrium. that's the contrast between
the exterior voice, repressed, and the inner voice, blasting and universal.
so, this is the final concept of our work, as we all discussed it in the
last class and yesterday.

*title: her Inferno*
*idea: a sound installation based on Dante's description of Inferno's
soundscape (III, 22-30). our interpretation means to explore Inferno not as
a metaphysical place, but as a state of mind.* *in fact, the blasting and
universal suffering the audience can hear in the atrium is found to be the
personal condition of a girl all alone behind a closed door.* we do not know
who this girl is and why is she crying, 'cause there is no real explanation
for human pain. why do we suffer? our work means not to give the answer, but
to explore the state of pain in intself, just using sounds.
our musical reserach is based in the manipulation of voice, for voice is
probably the most powerful instrument of all. the manipulation will create
sound-masses of voices, inspired to Diamanda Galas' performances and other
examples that any of us can suggest.

so that's all folk! so far...
see you soon here. bye, and good work.
