Rä di Martino - 2012 - HD Video, Arab with subtitles.
music and sound design by Enrico Ascoli
Abandoned movie sets are used again, the actors are two local kids, born not far from the film studios, now almost abandoned, near Ouarzazate.. The two kids re-enact a few lines from movies that have been shot there, an American horror movie, Lawrence of Arabia… and all around natura and the incontaminated landscapes of the Draa Valley stand outside of time.

Cucina Sonora For Pasta Rummo - sound live cooking with Cuochi Volanti.
“Il ribollio dell’acqua, le maracas di sale, il gorgoglio dell’olio, il fruscio di erbette fresche, l’accartocciamento di una bustina di zafferano, la frantumazione dei grissini e la scolatura della pasta. Sono gli ingredienti sonori del concerto per Pasta Rummo, un inusuale e creativo live cooking, che si è svolto il 3 maggio al God Save The Food di Milano, per celebrare la nuova veste grafica di Pasta Rummo Lenta Lavorazione®, che vede illustrazioni disegnate a mano e l’esclusiva confezione in carta per i formati della tradizione.” (link to the article)
The Box - Poltergheist
Dadomani studio: idea,production,animation supervision,direction Patrizio Saccò: director of photography Enrico Ascoli: music and sound design Dario Imbrogno: animation Dario Cavaliere: fluid simulation The Box and Dox spend their entire lives sitting on the couch in front of the TV. Both are afflicted with a very powerful addiction to television. This addiction plays out in their behaviors and reactions, which are polar opposites of each other. The Box uses the TV to fall asleep, while Dox is a victim of his unstoppable instinct of channel surfing. They both need TV, albeit for different purposes. Falling into his habitual deep sleep, The Box loses contact with reality, letting himself go completely into the dream world. This is where the character’s rational mind makes room for the unknown and unknowing world of his subconscious. The Box’s brain, like an unprotected fortress, lies defenseless as it is accosted by dangerous outside stimuluses. The TV’s audio signal is the enemy that creeps in between the cognitive synapses of the sleeping protagonist, influencing his dreams and controlling his consciousness. The Box, like a sponge, passively absorbs all the audio stimuluses that come from the outside; reworking them and unknowingly transmitting them back into reality as interactive hallucinations uncontrolled and interacting freely with their surrounding environment…

Videomapping – interactive music sequencer. Sept 3, 2011
For the opening of Nike’s new store in Turin, we had a ball creating a 4-story-high sequencer and projecting it on the baroque façade of a building in one of the city’s historical squares. An electronic music machine, open to all who felt like getting into the game, stepping up to the control platform, and letting a Kinect-equipped station sense their body’s contour and movements. Interactivity was literally in their hands, as they discovered the power to turn windows on and off with a mere touch, revealing musical notes and samples that combined into ever-changing audio loops.
Energized and empowered, our players became the real pivot of the event: controlling a 20-meter-tall luminous shadow, wrapped in ribbons of bold color coming from a second projector aimed right at their body, they became conductors, composers, and the creators of an interactive show that took music, colors and proportions to the next level.
Coded with: Processing + Toxi.math + MidiBus + GLGraphics + oscP5 + Kinect + OpenNI + NiTE + Freenect + Ableton Live + Custom sequencing library developed in-house.

Blowjob - Myatelier.net - Rome 2011
Description of work: Three amplified electric guitars and three fans.
Soundscape generated naturally by the passage of air through the strings and by its set in motion light filaments, that touch , in a stochastic way, the instruments. What you can hear is a universe unique and uncontrollable and at the same time uniform and harmonious: stillness in motion.
Blowjob born by the natural development of two themes: the first is based on building self generative soundscapes and sculpture, the second is based on archetypal sounds, those sound marks that could be deeply recognized in a trans-cultural way by human beings. Among these there is surely the wind and its ability to animate what it skims: “… the answer my friend is blowing in the wind …”
