Audiovisual Concerts by Giorgio Partesana and Duncan Pinhas
 
In between science and contemplation, analytical and synesthetic approach, Geo aims to give a non-exhaustive, immersive, meditative, audiovisual representation of three ecospheres of the planet, namely hydrosphere, lithosphere and atmosphere.
 
Geo is planned as a trilogy which chapters are drafted to confront matters in their evolving natural states with some of the interactions mankind have with them, so that natural forces are confronted to mastering work employed by mankind.
 
The concerts are drafted as an exploration of micro and macro landscapes created with matters recorded in specific environments. The destination of the journey is an imaginary land where natural and artificial geometries, symbols of our habitats merge into hybrid patterns.
 
Time-based manipulation and amplification of recorded matters evokes a physical sensations allowing abstract geometries to acquire a personal meaning. The project, will to stimulate a reflection about the environment that we inhabit, alternating lulling to uncomfortable moments.

This, most recent, second opus focuses on solid matters such as stone and concrete, on which cutting and arranging movements are opposed to aging and breaking.

This preliminary work (yet to be finalized) is focused on liquid matters which fluidity suggests, in some of its forms, the ever mutating flow of things as well as the traces these flow leave.

A minimal concrete noise piece played by an electro-robotic instrument ;) but also a little tribute to “Le Macchine Inutili” by Bruno Munari and to “Der lauf der dinge” by Fischli & Weiss.
 
Messing around with electronics toys, during a workshop held in Domus Academy by Massimo Banzi, I came up with an (almost) endless loop machine…

No is around is a concrete repetitive piece made out of noisy recordings. Here’s the (edited) recording of the concert which took place at 8.30am on a monday morning for the 9th Placard festival in Paris.

Le Placard, Milano

Born in 1998, Placard is a headphone concert streaming festival, playing with concentration, intimacy, time warp, and teleportation. It functions under a mode of open program, open for headphone rooms to create performance spaces where performers are welcomed to perform. Both the space “owner” and the performers use the Placard website to inscribe and self organize the global program.
