fades
I use to call "fades" almost all of my audio production from this late years. I call it so because its main character resides in a continuous slightly changing process, like an endless crossfade loop in which it's impossible to determine whether a new section starts or ends. Fades project 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 my media section for samples.
in an exhibition space a multichannel audio system is set for spatial distribution of computer generated sinewaves.
fades.net
specifically designed to run via web in order to offer an exhibition set for non limited number of speakers and collective participation.
It generates slow changing sound and color structures in realtime and offers the opportunity to set up a Fades environment in private or public spaces simply by connecting one or more computer to the web.
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
Dreamspaces is a series of audiovisual installations made in collaboration with architect and media artist Alessandra Zucchi and inspired by 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). 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.
Successfully exhibited in Milan, Athens, Berlin, New York,
Barcelona and Lisbon. Visit the Dreamspace website or click here for more info.
