Experimental research workshop

After a successful run in 2009, the music research workshop will continue its activities throughout 2010 with four seminars and a public concert celebrating – in concomitance with the presentation of a monographic book – the sixtieth year of Alvise Vidolin, a leading expert on the science of reproduction and sound elaboration, sound direction and spatialization.

The programme includes the following events.
April will feature the Soundscape Project, that is the mapping and cataloguing of Venetian environmental sounds (involving students from Fine Arts Schools, Conservatories and Universities). The sound material gathered will be used in various ways, including performances and creative re-interpretations by the Laptop Orchestra Seminario Arazzi (founded in 2009).

In May, Antonio Politano will work with the Paetzold ensemble of fl utes and recorders (twelve instruments), also involving electronics and the support of the Laptop Orchestra Seminario Arazzi.

In June Alvise Vidolin and a class of clarinettists will prepare for a performance of Karl-Heinz Stockhausen’s Solo and Pierre Boulez’s Dialogue de l’ombre double (dedicated to Luciano Berio). More over, there will be an analytical seminar on and performance of Fausto Romitelli’s Natura morta con fi amme for string quartet and electronics.

Lastly, in September, ten days of seminars and a fi nal concert will be held – La voce interagisce con
l’elettronica – in collaboration with the Claudio Buziol Foundation and the Institute for Living Voice.
