Postfantamusicologia (vinyl LP)

Giampiero Cane, Daniela Cattivelli - Postfantamusicologia (vinyl LP)
A sound creation based on the texts and voice of Giampiero Cane performed by himself and manipulated by the composer Daniela Cattivelli, who electronically projected them into a chaotic flow.
Postfantamusicologia is accompanied by a remix in which his counterfeit voice is camouflaged among synthetic fanfares and doppler effects, as in the encryption of SIGSALY, the secure-voice-system used in the Second World War for higher-level communications. The record is a special edition dedicated to the eccentric figure of Cane: musicologist, professor, journalist, writer and sportsman, who likes to be in the wrong. Realizing the impossibility of that (he should blame those who agree with him and so on), given that individually he cannot find a solution, he has provisionally solved the problem by participating in the minority.
Giampiero Cane (born 1937), Italian music critic and writer, has taught Modern and Contemporary music, and Afro-American music culture at the DAMS/University of Bologna for twenty years, and has written since the 1960s for newspapers and magazines including Il Manifesto and Alias. He has collaborated with RAI national broadcasting company (Tv and Radio). He is the author of several books, including Sade, Rossini, Leopardi. Tre deformazioni dolorose; Canto nero. Il free jazz degli anni Sessanta; Duke Ellington. Dalla White house a Dio; Monkcage. Il Novecento musicale americano; Con-fusa-mente il Novecento; D'unghie ed altro.
Daniela Cattivelli (born 1966) is an Italian sound artist, electroacoustic composer, performer. Began as a saxophone player, by training through a variety of musical experiences. Between 1990 and 2000 she cofounded in Bologna a number of music groups: Laboratorio Musica & Immagine, Fastilio, Eva Kant, Antenata. The area of investigation on sound research has subsequently spread to interdisciplinary artistic experiences, to the adoption of an electro-acoustic instrumentation and frequent incursions into performance.Today she explores the multiple facets of the sonic dimension by deepening aspects relating to the physics of sound, the design of unconventional listening devices, the investigation around 'sound contexts', situations in which a musical event is strongly anchored to a given practice, function or cultural environment. She has created sound performances, electroacoustic compositions, audio-video live sets, sound installations and live electronics for prestigious contexts in Italy and abroad.She has collaborated and performed with musicians and improvisers of the international experimental scene: Fred Frith, Barry Guy, Alvin Curran, Zeena Parkins, Charles Hayward, Butch Morris, Jon Rose, Margareth Kammerer, Stevie Wishart, Stefano Pilia, Clementine Gasser, Carol Robinson, Luciano Maggiore, John Oswald; and with music critic Giampiero Cane. She has furthermore composed music for theatre and dance for some of Italy's most representative research groups: Michele di Stefano/MK, Fabrizio Favale Le Supplici, Daniele Albanese, Simona Bertozzi, Giorgio Barberio Corsetti, Teatro Valdoca, Laminarie, Kinkaleri, and for international artists including choreographers William Forsythe (for the Germany Pavillion at the Venice Architecture Bienniale 2014), Raquel Silva, Yoko Higashino-Baby-Q. In the field of visual arts she has collaborated with Cristian Chironi, Marcello Maloberti, Luca Trevisani, Michaela Grill. She teaches Interpretation and performance of electroacoustic music at the Bologna Conservatory, and Sound design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara. She collaborates with TEMPO REALE, the centre for musical research and production founded in Florence by composer Luciano Berio.
