A few years ago I started using wood boards from mill waste to build both resonators and touch interfaces. 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...
this one is for Larry @dronefinger and Rene @basssleeper ”Sounds of every sort are surging incessantly through the air. When we walk by the seaside, a salty tang of brine enters our mouth ; when we watch a draught of wormwood being mixed in our presence, a bitter effluence touches it. So from every object flows a stream of matter, spreading out in all...

…with liquid lights and distant radio wavesI’m loving playing with theses sharp brash sounds, and these two instruments are really great together. It’s always like a phantasmagoric dive in sonic energies which are constantly present but get triggered or amped by touch, pressure and resistance. Entering microscopic shimmering veils of electrons, disturbed by random currents and abrupt surges, for me is like entering rapid...
who always shared transparent and resonating visions: “A bell of mindfulness, whether it is an actual bell or some other sound, is a wonderful reminder to come back to ourselves, to come back to life, here in the present moment.“ “Within the sound of mindful breathing, compassion is holding the hand of anger, and they dance.“ ☯️ ...
Playing and learning with new and older instruments. This is for @inestancre @coryalder @jimblackmusic and for everyone who enjoy these raw experiments. Though, listen NOT at full volume, as at times dynamics and frequencies are wild. I’m having fun, and I hope some of you might as well… aesthetics seems unnecessary these days. I really like the Krohn-Hite filter, and I’m happy that the cleaning...
I finally repurposed a few old and broken transistor radios into some nice noise machines 01. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Giorgio Magnanensi (@giominz) 02.

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...
