Fades is a multiple project I've been working on for many years now. Started in 1999 it focuses on frequency, sequency, phase and waveshape relationships. It exploits the essential characteristics of sound itself, its causality with human perception, explores different tuning systems and the peculiar spatialization effects of periodic composite waveforms. Conceived in the shape of sound installation Fades has then developed into different formats (check the media section for samples).

sound installation
in an exhibition space a multi-speaker system is set for spatial distribution of pure digital sound.

live electroacoustic performance
sound is real time computer generated, the few and simple source elements are combined together trough live manipulation to develope more complex and slow growing sound structures.

fades.net
specifically designed to run via web in order to offer an exhibition set for non limited number of speakers and collective participation. Based on just intonation principles the work is conceived to explore all possible resonances of a A440 fundamental frequency within a custom built pitch algorithm and a specific compositional structure.
It generates different slow changing sound+color structures at every connection and offers the opportunity to set up a Fades environment in private or public spaces simply by connecting one or more computer to internet.
Participants are invited to join the 'mise en scene' by connecting their portable internet devices to fades website so to share in the additive synthesis and in the evolution process of the piece.
Thanx to java technology and the JSyn library developed by Phil Burk and SoftSynth team.

CD
in february 2005 Massimo Simonini offered me to produce the CD version of Fades under his Bologna based label I Dischi di angelica.

Dreamspaces
A moment of absolute psychophysical drift. An immersion in a colourful sonic ambience that recalls twentieth-century artists’s works particularly focused on the relationship between human body and architectural space (Dan Flavin, Le Corbusier, Anish Kapoor, Maurice Agis, Verner Panton, Marian Zazeela, James Turrell to list just a few of them). Thanks to digital techniques the space and acoustic environment is rehandled, manipulated, offered to the audience in a new shape of light and sound. A different dimension that combines contemplative fruition of ambiences with seventies style visionariness.

Il Suono Fluido
Audio+video. The performance involves the audience to play with shadows and moving shapes on a big screen. Sound and images connected to obtain an interactive act in a colorful ambient.
