ANA-MARIA AVRAM "ANA-MARIA AVRAM"

“When Ana-Maria Avram conducts, she sometimes seems to be plucking stars from the sky, or jabbing into hives, causing thousands of tiny critters to fly up into the air like flurries of gold dust. Avram allows the moment to shape the music” (WanderingStar e.V.).

"Per me la morte è la base di tutto. [...] Anche il cimitero è un luogo molto importante per me; di esso ne ho sempre sfruttato tutto. [...] La gente ha un'opinione distorta del cimitero, crede che sia la porta dell'aldilà o chissà cosa; invece esso è solamente il posto dove vengono deposti i cadaveri, mentre l'energia si è già trasferita da un'altra parte. Quindi nel cimitero c'è questa assenza d'energia che col tempo sono riuscito a percepire e grazie alla quale ho capito molte cose". - Estratto da "Filosofia Viola", intervista a Paul Chain di Marco Cavallini, del 2 Aprile 1996, Sadsunmusic.com -

Paul Chain (1977-2003) dichiara la sua morte artistica il 05 Aprile 2003.

Lo scorso anno, per l’intero mese di Aprile, è stata presentata in anteprima, presso il Sound Corner dell’Auditorium - Parco della musica di Roma, la documentazione sonora del progressivo disfacimento fonografico dell’oggetto sonoro in ceramica contenuto in questa edizione “morente, concepita, assieme ad altri 4 multipli d’arte che seguiranno questa pubblicazione (il cui materiale originale, digitalizzato, si trova nel cd-archivio compreso nell’edizione), per rendere omaggio all'opera dell'artista Paul Chain, ed alla sua personale ricerca escatologica, l' “antica filosofia della morte o magia viola*”.
(*da "Detaching From Satan")

Ogni parte di questa edizione concettuale è stata progettata seguendo i suggerimenti lasciati dall'autore, il quale crede fermamente che il potere nascosto di queste registrazioni dovrebbe essere lasciato morire. Questa "edizione morente" rappresenta così l’inumazione concettuale di questo corpo artistico, la sua sepoltura finale.

Questa edizione d’arte, e gli elementi che la compongono, sono stati progettati per deperire nel tempo, fino al  loro completo disfacimento, alla loro totale consunzione, fino a svelarne la forma "sublime", per diventare così oggetto di pura contemplazione.

La particolare terra che compone l'opera, ricca di materiale organico, è l'elemento chimico catalizzatore di tale processo. Allo stesso modo, l’oggetto sonoro in ceramica contenuto nell'edizione, consumerà via via le onde sonore incise attraverso il processo stesso di riproduzione, che avviene per frizione meccanica della puntina del giradischi sul disco stesso. Lentamente, scompariranno ad ogni ascolto, lasciando solo mute ceneri. Questo nuovo "corpo artistico" così sublimato, potrà essere conservato ed ammirato nella sua nuova natura di reliquia.

WEAPONISING SPECULATION

DUST (Dublin Unit for Speculative Thought) presents: Weaponising Speculation  Conference.
This gathering is the signature event organized by D.U.S.T (Dublin Unit for Speculative Thought), an art/theory collective recently founded by Michael O’Rourke, Paul Ennis and Fintan Neylan. The primary aim of DUST is to stage conversations between disparate groups of people—artists, aestheticians, philosophers, non-philosophers, theorists—who find themselves at the fringes of academic institutions and disciplines and who are also broadly interested in speculative realism and post-continental philosophy.


Organized and curated by:
Michael O’ Rourke,

c/o Studio Corte 17
Via Genova 17/4 – Prato

IL PROGETTO
Becoming sound è un progetto site-specific di sound art che vuole mostrare il processo stesso di creazione di un’opera; dall’indagine fino alla realizzazione. Il progetto si sviluppa su tre steps:

1- una mappatura sonora delle cattedrali della città che ospita il progetto – archiviazione e archeoacustica
2- un’installazione sonora – abitare l’opera
3- una sound-performance realizzata con le sorgenti sonore riprese all’interno delle cattedrali -ri-significazione dei luoghi

METODOLOGIA E PROGRAMMA
I tre steps sono sviluppati attraverso un workshop che prevede moduli teorico-pratici che si svilupperanno nei giorni 26 e 27 Aprile, presso lo spazio NUB a Prato, come segue:
- lezione teorica con i partecipanti (sab 26 h10 – 13);
- soundwalk per la mappatura sonora in location (cattedrali) con i partecipanti (sab 26 e dom 27, h 15 – 18);
- installazione con i partecipanti e performance finale (Alessio Ballerini + Pietro Riparbelli) con i suoni registrati durante la soundwalk (dom 27, h 18 – 21)

2) PRATICA: Soundwalk e registrazioni sonore di cattedrali. Allestimento dell’installazione sonora e visiva. I registratori audio digitali ed ulteriori attrezzature saranno messi a disposizione dei partecipanti.

"Phonology of noise : the voice as sound object"
This meta-event it's based on a live streaming aural transmission of some experimental sound artists involved in the Radical Matters - Editions/Label series. A selection focused on the creative action of recording and/or manipulation of the voice as sound object. A journey which start from classical experiments begun in the late '70, inside currents like Fluxus, sound poetry, and extra-literary vocal sound compositions, towards the researches of the acousmatic's approaches, post-industrial radicalisms, contemporary sound-actionism, electroacoustic ritual researches, psychophonic transcommunication actions, avantgard black metal projections and beyond...

EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE


" ETHER VOYAGE + ( evp trasmission) "
The night before the performance I will lay in a part of the city a recording magnetic tape with no human presence there, ("retrocasuality").
During my performance a friend of mine will send me the nocturnal recorded files, unknowed for me, that I will manipolate with softwares. I will use stringed instruments from western tradition (cello) and eastern tradition like "esraj" together will interact with the rest of the sounds, presences tryng to destabilizing and causing a derangment with the digital dimension. The concert-performance wants to be a search and an evidentiation of the metaphysical sound, of the microsounds and its effects on the human perception and and inspired to the work of: Leif Elggren (Elgaland-Vargaland) C.M. Von Haussvolff Nikola Tesla and Konstantin Raudive.

Presents the hermetic multidimensional concept album
"CHTHONIAN MUSIC" :
Music composed, played and directed by K11 Pietro Riparbelli

Concept, ideation, site specific project direction, screenplay, score, texts, lyrics, sigils and design of the editions: RM-ED/L | Sandro Gronchi. 2 channels and multi channel audio composition, performing, mixing, mastering and real-time spatialization processing by Pietro Riparbelli. Acoustic installation by Sandro Gronchi and Pietro Riparbelli. Recording sessions: Francisco López, Christina Kubisch, Massimo Bartolini, Seth Cluett, Y.E.R.M.O., Francesco Brasini / Seven Guitars, Luciano Maggiore, Gianluca Becuzzi, Andrea Marutti, Philippe Petit , Deadwood, Burial Hex, Aderlating, Utarm, Nordvargr, L'Acephale. This conceptual album is a 2 channel stereo hi-fi transposition of a related site specific multi-channel acoustic installation set, based on the sound spatialization system I.M.E.A.S.Y, both developped from the hermetic multidimensional sound art project Chthonian Music, conceived by RMEDL to be performed in an ancient Etruscan hypogeum sited in Cecina (Italy), during the spring solstice (Ante Diem Duodecimum Kalendas Apriles) within the programmatic-conceptual event "Metasound – Independent Curatorial Experiences in ntemporary Art: from the object up to the event: sound art, multimedia and practice of the art of listening",an hypermedial site-specific project, cured by SG as RMEDL, installed within the archaeological park of Cecina, in the core of the ancient Tuscia.

This conceptual album and the related audio installation are musically composed by Pietro Riparbelli / K11 who playing organ, voices, drum and directis the recording sessions of the acoustic sources produced by the previous mentioned artists, expecially conceived by the authors for this project. This multidimensional collaborative opera is a bridge between the conception of sound within the contemporary art scene, the postindustrial culture and the avantgarde black metal musical scene, focusing on creating a dialogic development between radical forms of concrete music, unorthodox sounds, conceptual arts and experimental recordings practices of the acoustic phenomenas.This project is based on the study of the territory where Cecina stands today, already known in Etruscan age with the name of Kaikne or Kaikna and was inhabited in Roman times, when an imperial personality, the consul Albino Cecina who was a descendant of an ancient Etruscan family that came from Volterra (Velathri), ordered the construction of a villa, the ruins of which are still visited in San Vincenzino.

The surrounding area of Cecina, knew a long period of decline, which began with the decline of the Etruscan civilization and marked during the Roman domination. However in medieval times the name of the Tuscan town was quoted by Dante Alighieri (Inf. XIII, 7). The peculiar state of re-veiling of the historical roots of Cecina town, began in the Roman construction plant of the Albini Villa by the department of archaeological sciences of the University of Pisa (in this contest stands the discovery of a headless statue in Egyptian alabaster that represents Isis). It becomes the right condition for the staging of meta-curator project Metasound through which a witness is shown, though as a part of a state of the art research on aesthetic trans-operative promoting by RM-ED/L. The choice of the roman cistern and its adjacent mysteric tunnels, as the core of the catabasis experience intrinsec in the concept of Chthonian Music. and as sound-chamber of the related acoustic installation, comes from the study on the symbolic meaning of places of worship, that was developed in Etruscan age - civilization that first settled in the adjacent grounds to the Cecina river. The re-veiling of the etruscan settlement, roman villa and medioeval cemetery, in the small park of San Vincenzino, opens to the possibility of considering the reading of the archaeological sites in their likely original function of sacred hypogeum. The cavity of the cistern, thus, becomes a possible reuse of an earlier site of Etruscan origine, with a more likely symbolic function of a place consecrated to the worship of Chthonic Deities. Demeter-Persephone (Phersipnai) was the goddess which was based the religion of the Mysteries, imported by the Etruscans in Italy.

Kidnapped by Hades and carried in the realm of the underworld, becaming the queen of the hell through his ritual death. Demeter, the goddess of the earth got that Persephone / Phersipnai reigned during the winter months and in the remaining months could return to earth, whose myth is the awakening of the soul and its cyclical path of death and transfiguration. Delving into the dark recesses of the earth, meant to open a gate to a supernatural dimension. Tunnels and mazes of paths represented the symbolic difficult journey of the soul towards a higher life. Exit from the bowels of the land, from the darkest recesses of the earth and the human soul, represents the rebirth of the soul to a higher level of living. The annual return of Phersipnai on earth among the living, coincided with the beginning of spring, and on this occasion were celebrated the Lesser Mysteries, or the second Birth. On this occasion, wizards with snakes twisted on the arms, moved at the flickering light of torches in long orgiastic processions (Nuktélia) that ended with a search of the queen Phersipnai.Hetrvria Hermetica.

TITLE: Mo.N.D

DARK MATER
Mo.N.D

In astrophysics and cosmology, dark matter is hypothetical matter of unknown composition that does not emit or reflect enough electromagnetic radiation to be observed directly, but whose presence can be inferred from gravitational effects on visible matter. According to present observations of structures larger than galaxy-sized as well as Big Bang cosmology, dark matter accounts for the vast majority of mass in the observable universe. The composition of dark matter is unknown, but may include ordinary and heavy neutrinos, recently postulated elementary particles such as WIMPs and axions, astronomical bodies such as dwarf stars and planets, and clouds of nonluminous gas. It has been noted that the name "dark matter" serves mainly as an expression of our ignorance, much as the marking of early maps with "terra incognita". Dark Matter are Kasper T. Toeplitz and Antoine Chessex They have realised a monolithic piece of cosmic dark energy, concentrating gravitational lensing phenomenas, in solid waves, through the multi-dimensional quantum-continuum. A must! The duo deals with dense and abstract structures where the hybridisation of the two performers´instruments collapse together resulting in monumental walls of sounds based on the architecture of ruins.

.. it's still dark and raining... There's something I want to show you, something I want you to touch...»

From the words of Gianluca Becuzzi: "... Limbo is a project dead and buried!" but just like in the best necromantical traditions, "sometimes they come back" ...

This complex work, published in two volumes, hand numebered and autographed, it's not a collection of old recordings, nor a compilation, but it is a brand-new opera. An alchemical celebration, based on the quintessence of the "esoteric trilogy" by Limbo.

Artist's multiples | Enviromental Sound Object

This Artist's multiple is designed as multy layer visual device,
conceived as multi functional Sound Object:

When The Artwork is "CLOSED",
the frame is designed to display itself as a micro-tonal, graphic, wall paint. Pure visual design.

is composed by the following elemnts, with their related functions:
A vinyl, hosted in a mono-cromatic folder, contain a UNIQUE record cutting, ready to be played. A printed glass, conceived as a SCREEN for enviromental light projecton. Alchemical Textual documents.

HOW TO USE THIS "Artist's multiples"
as private audio installation:

Open the display frame from the back, and extract the vinyl record and the printed glass. Use the printed glass as a screen for enviromental light projecton. using a lamp (or a flashlight), in a dark room, to project all around the shadows of the sepulcral branch tree, during the playing sessions of the entire record.

Limited edition of 50 hand numbered copies for each volume, signed by thge author.

Fine art realised on demand:  the conceptual sound-artwork is composed by a 15X15 inch display frame (ready to be attach to the wall), a printed glass, a 5 panels printed cardboard and insert, a 12 inch vinyl. Every copy of the vinyl is unique, recorded as one of a kind, one by one. Two millimeters black vinyl, highly precision and craft work for high quality product.

TITLE: BLACK INDUSTRIAL GRIMOIRE - ARCANI VMBRARVM REGNI - SI.VM E.T A V VM

SOLD OUT

This sound object it's a phono-mediumistic set created with a shining circle of authors,
cathalized by the pioneer and master of the black industrial musical genre:
MZ.412 (and his mastermind HENRIK NORDVARGR BJORKK).

The content of this special concept album, conceived, designed and released by RM-ED/L, is a compendium in the form of Grimoire; a special magical device for metaphisical pratiques of ancient form of manteia (divination) based on the occult side of the risonance of the sound.

About the GRIMOIRE CD-R device: The audio content of the CD-R is developped by the original recordings made by all the authors involved in the CD format where they operas are explicitally composed as a demoniacal evocation "formed with sound".

This audio cd-r is initially manipulated in studio, only to excite the very low frequencies of the original recordings. The result was played with loud speakers and re-recorded live with special microphones, during a liminal cojuntion of events (date 08 November 2008), 13 meter under the ground, during the 16th event of the Etruscan magic astronomy, towards the north-west sol-stitium of Manvtha, for the Samonios of the Triplici Mundus Patet; into an ancient Rasnakh ritual underground place, sited in the core of Tuscia: the Munisvle of Fanum Voltumnae.

Exciting the very low frequencies of the XIII evocations composed by all the authors involved, have permit to manifest the essences of their ritual recordings, through the demoniacal acoustic manifestation of their psycho induction. The particular condition of this second recording session, made in the Rasnakh Munisvle, have permitted to charge the recordings in itselfs with the live presence of the dead energy of the ancient spirits of darkness, which in this deeper underground temples, near the center of the earth, have the door for their reign.


MYSTERIUM CONIUNCTIONIS - GOETIC SCRYING RITUALIS:
The box also include some basic instructions to use the phono medianic set, composed by:
a special packege contening the sacred Unicursal Hexagram stylization as pop-up,
an handmade trapezoid black mirror
a special cabled speaker-packaging able to be connected into your stereo hi-fi.

Cassette Tape description:
This recording is the documentation of the audio installation conceived for Sound Corner 21 / Auditorium Parco Della Musica, Roma, set from 01 to 30 April 2015. It's based on the ceramic sound object of "Satan's Future", contained in the conceptual edition called "dying edition", published by RMEDL in summer 2015, conceived to pay tribute to the opera of the artist Paul Chain and his personal eschatological research, to his philosophy of death or violet magic.

Paul Chain (1977 - 05 April 2003) declares his artistic death on April 05 2003. Following the suggestions left by the author, who strongly believes that the hidden power of these recordings should be left to die, until its consumption, everything involved in the related Dying Edition is designed to die. The "dying edition" represents the conceptual interment of this artistic body, its final grave.

The source of this limited edition ceramic record is designed to be consumed by its playing. The process of playing the ceramic record will consume the engraved sound waves, from time to time.  Slowly the sound waves will disappear, untill only mute ash will remain. This audio recording is the direct documentation of various playing of the ceramic record on turntable, synthesized in three parts. "Satan's Future" was originally selected by Paul Chain for his "Relative Tapes" private archive, courtesy by Marco Melzi, Minotauro Records.

Cassette Tape description:
This recording is the documentation of the audio installation conceived for Akusmata Sound Festival | 11. - 15.10.2016 | Akusmata Sound Art Gallery. It's based on the ceramic sound object of "Satan's Future", contained in the conceptual edition called "dying edition", published by RMEDL in summer 2015, conceived to pay tribute to the opera of the artist Paul Chain and his personal eschatological research, to his philosophy of death or violet magic.

Paul Chain (1977 - 05 April 2003) declares his artistic death on April 05 2003. Following the suggestions left by the author, who strongly believes that the hidden power of these recordings should be left to die, until its consumption, everything involved in the related Dying Edition is designed to die. The "dying edition" represents the conceptual interment of this artistic body, its final grave.

The source of this limited edition ceramic record is designed to be consumed by its playing. The process of playing the ceramic record will consume the engraved sound waves, from time to time.  Slowly the sound waves will disappear, untill only mute ash will remain. This audio recording is the direct documentation of various playing of the ceramic record on turntable, synthesized in three parts. "Satan's Future" was originally selected by Paul Chain for his "Relative Tapes" private archive, courtesy by Marco Melzi, Minotauro Records.
