io non sono...
for solo voice and live electronics
Inspired by Italo Calvino's novel Un re in ascolto (The king listens) in which he depicts the ear as a king sitting in his throne listening to every whisper coming from the different halls of his castle, this piece is a reflection on different characteristics of the spatial perception of the sound. A singer who has lost her voice, struggling to get it back, provides the sound material that is processed by the live electronics which builds up a resonant environment shaped according to the rare pitched material that rarely emerges.

- io non sono…
- il silenzio di quell'uomo
- hanno il suono di ciò che non hai mai ascoltato
- avvicina il tuo orecchio
- tutte le cose sono già...
- ecco che ci sentono di nuovo
- ...come li hai uditi ora
- vorresti anche tu una voce?
- I am not...
- the silence of that man
- they sound like something that you have never heard
- approach your hear
- everything is already...
- Here they hear us again
- ...as you just heard them
- would you like to have a voice too?
