Commissions to Daniela Terranova und Maurizio Azzan

Ensemble Suono Giallo, Città di Castello (IT)

Fragile and unstable sounds, interference, low-fi electronics diffused by transducers and filtered by instruments: Osmoic Sound project is an electroacoustic concert by the Suono Giallo ensemble that explores contemporary sound technologies in symbiosis with the analogical naturalness of instruments and bodies that put them in vibration. Commissioned compositions by Daniela Terranova and Maurizio Azzan are created for Osmoic Sound, made possible by the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation.

In her work, Daniela Terranova seeks a fluid continuity between electronic and acoustic sound using transducers on the instruments and some mini loudspeakers placed inside the piano and on the percussion. The sonic elements create a complex web of interference and distortion in which the performers play an active role. The result is a work that explores the boundaries between writing and improvisation.

For his work Wasteland_underlife, Maurizio Azzan takes inspiration from an installation by Maria Cristina Finucci. The composition makes sound the waste that society leaves in the environment. The excessive use of instruments and the use of electronic devices, such as old radios and cassette players, merge into a musical discourse that is constantly poised between the sound installation and a formal – rather "written" – articulation that explores the underground life of a world in which the artificial and the natural are now inextricable elements.
