about

The acoustical secrets of the city at various moments of day and night. The sound landscape is collected through a gradual and progressive approach. A drift into the memory of the city like an acoustical film without images. Steps, screams, songs and invocations, printing-machines, musical instruments. Celebrations at the Vesuvio volcano. Stratifications of sounds and images continuously changing. The gradual changes are transversed by the lightning of an acoustical storm which modifies the perception of the original sources. The microphone is also used as a lens to enlarge details, acoustical fragments otherwise almost inaudible. Microlistening and macrolistening are both present keeping their specificities. Not fusion but reciprocal relation between materials.
The listener can immers in the sound territory of the city where acoustical daily life is so important. Not a picture of Napoli but its absence creates a longed for bewilderment.
An immersion in the city through the mystery of hearing.

This CD, obviously stereo, constitutes a memory of the original 8 channel sound installation. Because of the special spatial distribution of the sound, it is warmly suggested that you listen to this CD through headphone.
