On Air - On Site : 48 Hours of Radio Art

Airing on May 23rd 08:00 CEST
Natural Soundscapes and Inner Spaces
Genre: Electroacoustic music
Duration: 60 min
The proposed radio narrative, divided into eight movements, is inspired by the natural soundscape and the inner spaces of the human mind. The first five movements* evoke the natural landscape, referencing the four elements of nature, with the aim of creating a veritable sonic postcard and interpreting the ancient soul of Sardinia. Folk songs, traditional instruments, and cultural events blend together and narrate the story of Sardinian man, belonging to a civilization with roots stretching back to ancient times.
The sixth, seventh, and eighth movements**, instead, explore the space of the mind, relating to humanity in general.
These more introspective pieces explore the unconscious and the infinite and unknown spaces of the mind. A journey within it can be conceived as an attempt to discover a submerged space, where logic and irrationality coexist in its sometimes solid, sometimes imperceptible structure. The gaseous envelope of inexpressible thoughts that surrounds certainties can be penetrated, but immediately reveals its non-place nature.
Acousmatic music, in the first part of this long radio journey, is recognizable and identifiable with physical places, becoming universal in the second part, a sensory experience that explores the depths of the unconscious, and which unites every individual, belonging to any culture in the world.

* Microclima, Microclima II, Microclima III, Quadri degli elementi, Due atomi di idrogeno e uno di ossigeno;
** Nello spazio sommerso, Fluttuazioni remote, Lo strappo nel cielo di carta.
