FB17 Walkman - 2015

A spring, protected by a glass dome, produces a graceless sound - graceless as the soundtrack to modern life in a metropolis and that of utter contemporaneity. Its voice produces vibrant frequencies that seem to animate and orchestrate the material, which is forced to move incessantly and to adapt to implacable magnetic fields, a metaphor for the human being who rarely asks himself the reason for his own constant movement.

FB15 Lacrime di infrasuono - 2015

FB08 Gattarpa - 2013 / 2015

A tongue of black fabric, dancing in the moving air of a fan, waving as though it were a cat's tail caressing and strumming the tight harmonic strings stretched to compose a resounding ancestral frame. The vibrations of the strings are tapped through humbucker pick-ups, re-elaborated and amplified to be diffused 360 ° through two Leslies that create the beating heart of a neoprimitive monolith, emitting an infinite mantra which is never the same, never repeated.

Wood, iron, aluminum, PVC, Leslie rotors, loudspeakers, pickup humbucker, multi-effect processor, audio amplifier, 22 electric guitar strings, 22 guitar mechanics, fan, fabric, pir sensor, electronic components.
