From 23 to 27 November 2010, on the occasion of the thirtieth anniversary of the terrible earthquake of Irpinia, in Avellino (Italy) was' done the festival E-ArtQuake 2010. Leandro Pisano, curator of "Mnemosyne", the sound art section of the festival, invited me to design an installation having as theme "the memory". I'd like to do a site specific project so I went in that territories for some time. Talking with people about their experience of that day I was surprise in discover that most of them remembered clearly sequences of sounds: objects moving, shaking or breaking. So I decided to follow this idea and to find objects abandoned in the ruins of some still ghost villages around Avellino. I chose things with interesting sound properties and I assembled them into 5 scultures/totems.
I fixed at the basis of these structures some bass shaker in order to give them life through slow and powerful vibrations.
I spend some days in discovering the best frequencies for shaking the sculptures and obtain different timbres from the objects. Then, using a 5.1 system, I composed a sequence listening in real time the answer of this strange ensemble. The result was a sharp and intense sound scape as you can listen in the following excerpt
