GEOGRAFIE DEL SUONO – incontri con musicisti in transito – è un progetto prodotto dall’Ex Asilo Filangieri che mira a favorire e promuovere gli incontri all’insegna dell’improvvisazione tra musicisti di varie aree geografiche e stilistiche. Ciò avviene in un contesto – l’Asilo – che fa dello scambio, dell’interazione e del coworking tra artisti una delle sue fondanti idee guida.
Multiversal è una rete di musicisti, artisti, performer, organizzatori e spazi.
Il suo scopo è scoprire realtà indipendenti interessate al suono e all’improvvisazione (non come genere, ma come metodo), creare piattaforme e occasioni per queste realtà di incontrarsi, collaborare e creare/elaborare nuove idee e progetti.
Nell’ottobre scorso, e per la prima volta in Italia, la carovana del Multiversal è sbarcata a Napoli. A distanza di un anno, l’esperienza si ripete, intrecciandosi, grazie a Geografie del Suono, con i musicisti del No Input Ensemble.

Premiere of the performance "Rewire".
Composed in a less strict fashion, "Rewire" became a piece to go perfectly with an unusual context for serious music: a club where we as performers would be able to interact with the audience. Markus Tateoka Schroeder provided astonishing glitch art visuals and with a potent fog machine, the atmosphere at AKK was surpassingly fresh and delightful for No Input music.
