Napoli Totale Elettronica #1

So grateful to be part of the @napolitotale ‘s first tape release with my piece “Bayn el-gabal we el-bahr, ana / tra la montagna e il mare, io”.

Napoli Totale Elettronica is an open and fluid group of electroacoustic composers, which brings together electronic works created collectively by artists originally from Naples, settled in the city or with a special connection to it. Currently, the collective is composed of about 30 musicians. Live, they develop an approach to total and radical improvisation, based on active listening, immediate reaction to sound stimuli and the interpenetration of instrumental practices.

Dragonara

2023 Multichannel | 6:59

Dragonara is a piece from an upcoming acousmatic album that blends elements of concrete music, ambient, and drone. The project began as a creative game, interpreting a dream visually transposed by artist Iman Mahdy, whose artwork served as a musical score. The composition uses diverse field recordings—captured with binaural, contact mics, geophones, and re-amping—and transforms them using spectromorphological techniques. Each sound is treated as an organic entity, evolving and interacting within an imagined ecosystem, drawing inspiration from eco-acoustic composition. The title refers to a partially submerged tuff cave in Naples, the artist’s hometown. “Dragonara” was selected by ACSM116 to be performed at the Contemporary Computer Music Concert 2024 in Tokyo.

Swimming into a Supernova

Swimming into a Supernova is a piece where I tried to work on emptying and filling the spectral space through gestures of sounds, following the work of Smalley on space-form in acousmatic music. Performed at L’Asilo (Napoli) on 10 April 2022 on an orchestra of 14 speakers.
