music and sound design for the 15 documentary projected in the various museum areas

novanta minuti di cinema e storia, quindici video per raccontare l’europa negli anni in cui si faceva l’italia. sono i cortometraggi che ars media sta ultimando per il nuovo allestimento del museo nazionale del risorgimento italiano. le sale di palazzo carignano, a torino, si riapriranno ai visitatori nel 2011 proponendo un allestimento completamente rinnovato con nuovi percorsi tematici, un’illuminazione scenografica e strumenti multimediali per rendere ancora più coinvolgente la visita.

la rivoluzione francese e quella industriale, le lotte dei popoli europei per ottenere le libertà costituzionali, rivoluzione e restaurazione. i video proiettati su cinque schermi spettacolari disposti lungo il percorso di visita allargano gli orizzonti del museo, che con il nuovo allestimento assume un respiro veramente internazionale.

Graphic project: Nucleo | Arianna Madiotto + Nadia Corno
Sound project: Enrico Ascoli
Exhibition set up: Gruppo Bodino | TO

Room 1 - Geometrie: soft sensual movements follow geometric paths, pop timbers, warm like scent wakes, Low frequencies just at the beginning of the room like an hearty welcome, quiet in movement. (DVD + 5.1 system)

Room 2 - Simmetrie: crystal-clear layers, sharp and elegant, domesticated timbers coming from the music sperimentation of ‘60/’70, orbital paths around a radial acustic center, slow and hanged like a Calder mobile, magic and surreal mood, unfathomable. (DVD + 5.1 system)

Room 3 - Stereometrie: intermittent pulsation of contemporary microsounds (glitch timbers), that from the crypts around this room point the center floating on a foam of very low frequencies
(DVD + 5.1 system)

Room 4 - Ambiance: random sound-scape for ten vintage monitors Brionvega, voices buzzing, daily life, old Tv spot, music suggestion from Mila Shon living room.
(DVD-brionvega-monitors)

A total immersion in the culinary tradition of Irpinia in a performance divided on different synaestetic levels (taste, smell, tough, sight, hearing) based on a real time recording with panoramics and piezolectric microphones of resonances captured during food preparation.

$Purple Rain: Site Specific Sound Installation for 5 HSS (hipersonic Sound System) speakers, Torino Design World CapitL 2008 Purple Rain stereo version byEnrico Ascoli Text catalogue: invisible and untouchble sound, not homogeneously widespread, an acoustic arcipelago done by islands of intensities, timbers, and rhythmic clusters interacting in a random way in a intense harmonic bubbling. Enrico Ascoli installation is a bright fabric that wraps the ambience in its thin folds, inviting to follow the woof and the weave by leaving behind the retinal paradigm that parvades our contemporary society. It is an exploration of space not driven by visual traces; it is an acousticdrift that is supported only bythe ability of our interior ear to create , from this faint magma, sound swarms with a meaning. The material used for the installation comes from the recordingsthat the composer recently did in New York. Enrico Ascoli focused above all in selecting sounds that have an intrinc music featurea (harmonic and rhitmic), as the soporiferous drone of the laundrettes, the breath of the subway, the voice of an homless in the middle of the night. From those sounds he extractd micro samples that he successively merged, in aestethic and musical terms, either in time and space. The result is a silent and archetypal urban buzz, at the same timefamiliar and unknown, tha crash into the visitoras the arrival of a memory and dresses him interiorly as the persistence of an emotional mood. Metaphorically it could be a humming of the metropolis that never sleeps and that breathes all around in a multi-layer and random flux of the contemporary life. about spot-light audio: “…Similar to a beam of light, HSS uses ultrasonic energy to “shine” your sound on a very specific area. My idea was to create a sound as a suit for the walls or as an invisible garden in wich you can stop yourself irrispective of the formal and claustrofobic prison that surround you. Imagine this installation as a sound shower or rain that the visitor can pass through or stop inside. Using hss tecnology I designed a sort of acustic chessboard on the floor and I created an invisible and alternative room maden of sound pillars. The most difficult think was to find the appropriate timbers for that ambient because when an hss speaker hit a surface the sound is generated and the it start to jump everywhere. In this way dipending fro material to material, some timber have a good reflection and other are completely mute. The prison space was an ambient maden of ceramic and iron a lot fractioneted in micro space so it was very important to compose direcly in place the installation, testing each sound source in its movement and reflection in the room. The result was an acusti suit perfeclty fit…” (Enrico Ascoli interview)$
