Ambiente sonoro per lettura intima poetica

Poet Eugene Ostashevsky reads his poems from the book ITERATURE (Ugly Duckling Presse, 2005, www.uglyduklingpresse.org) at Brusci’s studio in Berlin, march 2007. In december 2007 Brusci starts composing and mixing hypothesis of sound worlds obtained processing Ostashevsky’s recorded voice. Here are some first music pieces, with the reference to the poem and to the book. The music pieces are intended as an expressive sound habitat surrounding the intimate and private book reading. Multiple sound versions - generated from the same recorded poem - are conceived to explore the habitat responsiveness to the mental reading experience.

An e-creature can live. An e-creature can be significantly communicating awareness and with its own memory meeting other living memories and re-determining its future.
SED members Sara Meloni, Giovanni Conti and Lorenzo Brusci started in Madrid, Noche en Blanco 2007, the experiment on ‘Eplants’, digital video plants and sound expressions reacting to people’s presence and density. This is a small excerpt from a recorded interactive session. On the VIDEO HISTORY zone of the website you’ll find more materials on the Madrid event and ‘Eplants’ contents. The original sound aggregates belong to the audio work LOLE, Musica Leggiadra, Letizia Renzini/Lorenzo Brusci/Timet, 2003-2006.
