IAASP is a performance/practice method with diverse lenghts.
Its first realisation lasted one year, and happened almost weekly since may 30th 2022 until may 30th 2023.
It is pushed by the necessity
of taking
my own artistic research in the outer world,
trying to untie research processes
from isolation and sealed rooms
by bringing
them in public places
around the city.
The research on rhythm and timbre in the drum set melts with rhythmical and timbral research in the land/soundscape.
The focus of this research is the comprehension of macro and micro structures that intersect and overlap into a precise space-time. By perceiving this different structures and their interaction, the instrumental practice is aimed at being able to decode them and make them explicit.
The sounds produced with the instrument integrate with the sounds of the surrounding environment, merging with them and not overcoming them, creating a living system in which the instrument becomes part of the environment and the environment becomes part of the instrument.
On the cart, translated from Italian: “As a musician and human being, my research is based on improvisation, which is the social practice in which I believe the most. If you want to support my research, thank you!”
