DAMIAN GORANDI (FR)
IS coming (2024)

The conception of this work is based on capturing the moment before of a catastrophe. Develop that instant, expand it into a fiction of multiple temporal and spatial folds. Sounds of explosions, crowds, whispers, alarms and machines are organized in a narrative as violent as dreamlike. A voice, sometimes human and sometimes robotic, emits numbers. At first, the numbers do not seem to be incisive, but little by little they introduce their semantic value that resignifies listening. The poetics, the gesture and the games of reliefs in perspective (profundity of the internal space ) are fundamental concepts in my work.

 

SIMONE SIMS LONGO (IT)
Franti (2024)

The impact, the friction, the collision and the rupture. The sound becomes granular, transforms into a rhythmic element, and then dissipates. Creative potentials and sound collages organized from saxophone sound fragments. Layerings and organic noise that tickle the ears.

 DIEGO RATTO (IT)
Memoria (2024)

A tempestuous journey through time, into the profound recesses of memory. Hidden and distant realms of moments and snapshot recollections, a personal odyssey guided by the echoes of childhood sounds.

SIMONE SIMS LONGO (Italy, 1989)
Simone Sims Longo is a sonic and new media artist, interested in the creation and manipulation of sound in the digital domain. In his works, he often uses a multi-iteration of samples, following the phase shift and the complexities of polyrhythmic variations within sound textures. He explores space and exploits the interaction of sound with architectural elements; he is fascinated by natural reverberation and by the qualities of sound diffusion achieved through different materials. He focuses his live activity on the relationship between sound and visual or sound and light, crafting performances that explore the perception of audio-visual phenomena.
