I find the touchboards to be a great tool to allow a certain kind of flow,… or maybe ’embodied resonance’. gesti e figure con mani L’ornamento è attributo della creativitá, gesto e figura / gesture and figure Within the ornament its own origin becomes infinitely...

ansia rumore sogno • for Chris

  Noise is the alter ego, Ianus Bifrons. The philosopher’s stone: a golden stone is still a stone. This work is a short ode to things I hold dear in my life: our beautiful planet, friendship, love and imagination. Musical communication only exists on a purely emotional level. Emotionality is immanent; expression is definitely linked to the instant, instant is unpredictably transcendent. Dedicated to...

Mar 14, 2021

Testing a prototype floor/touch board, to use with dancers in a future project I’ll expand this to a 5’x8′ floor with at least 2 piezos to drive Max/MSP, and possibly run multichannel audio out in 8 wood resonators. It should be pretty fun and engaging both to use and watch/listen. …hopefully sometime in a not too distant future : ) …with the blippoo box...

A max msp patch tracking pitch/noise. I used it in various ways to create midi files that then are being fed into other instruments and so on… a feedback loop of recursive processes to forget traces and to find new paths, looking for musicality hidden everywhere.   ambient 1 https://giorgiomagnanensi.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/descrittore-14.mp4   Glenn Gould’s voice https://giorgiomagnanensi.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/descrittore-13.mp4   James Joyce’s voice https://giorgiomagnanensi.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/descrittore-12.mp4   voice in mellotron...
