Litogenesi

The live performance is structured as a narrative of the foundational elements of the Orobic landscape.
From the dark depths of the earth, material veins and rumbling echoes are brought to light, while the chromatic openings of forests and the sharp spires of karst peaks accompany them, slowly. The score becomes a metaphor for the segments of the Orobic environment-Alpine glimpses, subterranean matter and plastic forces that have stored changes in the landscape and return them in sonic form.
The sculptural instrument is made of clay taken from a vein buried in the mine. A barren plane of mining earth becomes augmented, subsultative, undulatory soil, a harmonizer of the vibrations imprinted in matter by time.
Thus, in feedback loops and delays, the performer seeks to make the matter resonate, to bring out its memory, an echo of fossilized memories that have slowly passed through the rocks until settling in a vein in the bowels of the earth. The ground becomes vibration, noise, then choral, harmonic sound. Percussive strokes become generating elements of vibrant soundscapes, moved earth, metaphors for the movements that plastically forged the landscape.
