The appointments of the sixteenth edition of the Signal Reload festival continue in Selargius , the review dedicated to electronic and avant-garde music, experimentation, improvisation with a transversal look at research in the visual, performative and live media fields.
The event is curated and organized by the Ticonzero association , a center of multidisciplinary artistic production and research under the guidance of Daniele Ledda, flanked by a well-established team of collaborators including Raffaele Tronci (artistic direction), and Valentino Nioi and Riccardo Besia for the production.
Thursday 3 November at 9 pm at the Si 'e Boi Theater in Selargius the protagonist on the stage will be the Clavius Orchestra project conceived by the musician Daniele Ledda , composer and teacher of Electronic Music at the Cagliari Conservatory. Clavius is an original research, construction and modification project, whose name embraces a family of self-built instruments starting from John Cage's concept of “prepared piano” .
The concert will see the involvement of a chamber ensemble made up of a string quintet (Alessia Casalino and Luca Tosini on the violin, Chiara Moccia on the viola, Giada Vettori on the cello and Alberto Locci on the bass), and a wind quintet (Miriam Picciau on the horn, Pietro Nonnia on flute, Edoardo Fanni on oboe, Paolo Pontillo on clarinet and Stefania Loddo on bassoon) and Paolo Susnik on vibraphone, the orchestration of which the musician and composer Alberto Locci collaborated.
At 10 pm, another great protagonist of the evening will be the avant-garde composer and lutenist Jozef Van Wissem (the event is organized in collaboration with the Here I Stay festival). The Maastricht-born artist is renowned for his unusual approach to the Renaissance lute and the Baroque lute, arguably the less common instruments in the world of contemporary music.
Copy and paste classic songs, reverse melodies, add electronic pieces and finally record everything . In 2013 he won the Cannes Soundtrack Award at the Cannes Film Festival for Jim Jarmusch's "Only Lovers Left Alive" and in December 2017 he was invited to perform the madrigal depicted in Caravaggio's painting "The lute player" (1596) at the Museo dell 'Hermitage of St. Petersburg. His unique musical style has led him to collaborate with the likes of Zola Jesus, Tilda Swinton, Jarboe and also with his longtime collaborative partner and friend Jim Jarmusch.
