Press Release & Event Program
Sunday, July 24, 2011
On Sunday, July 24, as part of an evening presented by the Centro Musica Contemporanea in collaboration with Arci, vocalist, composer, and writer Romina Daniele will perform live at Carroponte. Daniele is the winner of the International Demetrio Stratos Award for Vocal Research (2005 and 2007) and the Arci Award for Musical Experimentation (5 Giornate per la Nuova Musica Festival, 2011).
On this occasion, she will preview selected compositions from Spannung, her forthcoming compositional and recording project released on RDM Records.
Spannung derives its title from the concept used by philosopher Martin Heidegger to denote the existential "tension of being."
Throughout a research trajectory spanning over a decade, Daniele employs music alongside new sound technologies as an analytical tool to explore human existence, choosing the human voice as the most direct and expressive medium.
Her artistic trajectory began with Diffrazioni Sonore (2005), which explored the dynamic between vocal improvisation and technology-assisted electroacoustic composition. It continued with Aisthànomai: The Tragedy of Consciousness(2008), delving into the synthesis of poetry and studio sound design. With Spannung, her research culminates in an entirely new formal representation.
Within this emancipated vision of music, references to genre—ranging from blues to contemporary avant-garde—occur within a unified territory of boundary-crossing, dedicated entirely to acoustic research and the composition of physical sound matter in both vocal and electronic domains.
