about

Originally released on Hemisphäreの空虚.
hemispharenokukyo.bandcamp.com/album/s

The tracks of the album are result of some radical improvisation sessions recorded at Giacomo's studio in May 2018.
No a priori guidelines guided the recordings, the musicians interacted, each based on their own culture and experience, observing in fieri the work that was being carried out. An experimental method, therefore, on whose results it is possible to reflect only afterwards.
Perhaps the most immediate result of the work seems to be a sort of perceptual ambiguity regarding the sound source.
In fact, at different times, it is difficult to recognize whether a given sound is generated by percussion or by electronics. The timbral interpenetration obtained is therefore the main result of
the research merged into S /.
The title of the work itself, S/., free reworking of the “Saussurean algorithm”, wants to reiterate the
importance of the signifier compared to the signified, especially in the musical field.

Ferrazza/Salis duo
The duo was born from the meeting between the percussionist GiacomoSalis,and the electronic musician Marco Ferrazza. The area of intervention is that of radical improvisation, where sounds of
indefinite pitch, textures and gestures are related.
The timbre quality of the performance often springs from the imitation-contrast activity that the two performers practice during the concert. In this sense, an essential set, consisting of a floor-tom, a
cymbal and a laptop, is not only a choice of an expressive research based on the manipulation of concrete objects, but is functional for the overall sound result, capable of being gaunt and engaging
at the same time.
