Starting
from the concept of a geometry that is unknown to us as a kind of
non-human spatiality populated by forces and signs, this is a broadcast
based on short wave radio recordings and field recordings made in some
ambiguous places, in which I’ve made researches to realise some
of my musical projects. Places like Cathedrals, Sacred Woods, everyday
places linked to really particular states of consciousnesses; places
that hide deep forces; places that are through by a world of signals
and symbols.
A deep investigation of particular places, taking in the history of the
location as well as the current site specifics to reconfigure a sonic
panorama (or diorama) through its inherent transcendental aspects in
order to create a dimension beyond the purely or merely sonic: a total
perceptive and receptive capturing of the place and its visible and
invisible tangents, transporting the listener to a new and hitherto
literally unheard form, kind and ‘content’ of sensory
experience and therewith: perception. From a specific time and place,
to another (listening) time and place and in between.

TRACK 5: “The Dome Orvieto” – 10:48
DATE: 2010
LABEL: TOUCH MUSIC
DETAILS: “I was in Orvieto for 3 days and recorded some sound
during the morning, trying to avoid the tourists. I always try to find
the cathedral without too many people but at the same time there must
been some, because their sounds allow us to perceive the reverb of the
space.
Moreover, I’ve recorded voices from a choir during a celebration
and I’ve utilised a sample of the organ of the cathedrals. The
Dome of Orvieto is a fantastic gothic church. Orvieto is an Etruscan
city and it’s on a hill in which caves were excavated by the
Etruscans. During the Second World War the Nazis didn’t bomb
Orvieto because of the amazing cathedral that they wanted to take back
to Germany”
