Moonbird


Moonbird is a video opera, an hybrid piece that blends cinema, videoart and music.
With the direction by visual artist and film director Ra di Martino.
Original libretto & music by Mauro Remiddi 
With Silvia Calderoni & Manfredi Beninati.

The piece is exhibited in different contexts: as a live performance with live music & video projections.
As a video art work is been shown in exhibitions at Merzt Foundation in Palermo & Bologna’s Museum Of Modern Art  ‘MAMBO’.

The live performance ‘Moonbird Variations’ is an immersive and contemporary opera piece where the music brings together neo-Baroque themes
and abstract electronics with drum machines and voice manipulation.

The projections and the music will lead us in a journey through the story of Moonbird, an honiric creature that appears and hanimates the villa of a man
that decided to cut all ties with the outside world.

I had the desire to hear Maria Callas voice out of its natural contest.

By stretching and morphing her voice, eliminating the meaning of the text, 
I wanted to find the blind spot where language finally dissolves, calling everything into question again.

Field Recordings & Audio Essays


Exploring sound as a storytelling medium.

‘Sopraelevata’ (working title) is an on-going project that explores how urban sound penetrates structures through an investigation of water traveling down pipes, captured using a geophone.
The elevated section of the Tangenziale Est iin Rome s the main focus of investigation.
The piece reveals the submerged sonic world beneath its architecture—where rainwater, plumbing systems, and vibrations from the city above merge into an unheard soundscape.

‘Sonic Borders‘ is a series of audio essays investigating the urban’s sonic enviroment.
The project explores ecotones in the urban soundscape—the transitional zones where two distinct sonic environments meet and blend.
