<div><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><i>(he told a story
while walking)</i><br>
<br>
<br>
This radio work has been conceived as an ambient form of narration.
The idea was to take the recorder with me, while walking late at night
through different environments. Mostly habitual environments. But
while nightwalking I discovered more interesting "location"
sounds, than anything else, and turned the project into a
resonance-oriented gathering of different specific local events,
bounded by a narrative structure. These "local" events had to do
with three main categories of sonic phenomena: ambiences, electric
hums, resonances. And several times these categories evidently
overlap. Hence all sounds are "natural" sounds. Therefore the old
question is: what is "natural"? And natural in
comparison/opposition to what? Unnatural? Artificial? Cultural? In
effect, all phenomena you can hear in this work are properly as they
presented themselves in their environment (editing has been the only
technique employed in composition). Yet they derive from the
interaction of the "local events" (the resonant materials) with
the microphone system. If what we hear is a "natural sound", and a
"natural sound" is what we hear, there is a paradox here, because
actually many of these sounds wouldn't be usually heard in normal
conditions; sometimes masked by louder sounds, other times they simply
pass unnoticed and mingled as background, or they only stem from the
interaction between a resonant material and the microphone. Of course,
several of these sounds could be labelled as "anthropic"
phenomena, but phenomena mostly not aimed at the generation of any
acoustics, which results as a by-product of the main goal of the
system in action.<br>
Thus we are confronted with a new question: are all sounds cultural?
Because we define them (by hearing, and then recording, selecting,
editing and framing and listening to). But mostly because we decide to
define them, give them a name, a source, a "representation". Even,
when we do this, we separate them from their background, thus applying
a certain (acoustic) meaning to them as local forms, and consequently
by forming categories, and filling them. And in the end coming to
something like the "natural" vs. "cultural" opposition. And
yet, the background itself is not inert.<br>
<br>
All recordings are from my home town, Udine, and mostly from my own
surroundings, mainly gathered late at night. All sounds are generated
within (or captured by) the interaction/relationship between
"natural" acoustics of diverse kinds, with a hidden resonant
character, and the microphone system. Small sonic microclimates,
"naturally" resonating (due to many reasons, including wind,
mechanic vibrations, and the interaction between systems). As said, as
a radio work, it tries to "exploit" the medium in its
possibilities and probabilities, and in its intrinsic narrative
nature, as I see it, not necessarily linear, but nevertheless
consistent.<br>
<br>
Sources: environmental sounds (steps, cars, dogs, pavement, bicycle,
crickets, doors, barriers, hooters, airplane, rings, wind, voices,
manhole covers, bats, crockery, motorbikes, shutters, trapdoors,
trains, raindrops, bus, rubble, level-crossings, birds, leaves,
brakes, metal chains), resonances from various metallic structures
(gates, grating, fences, handrail, wires, bicycle racks), drones from
air conditioning stations, a pedestrian wooden bridge, the town water
channels, a large city fountain, a theatre outdoor hall, the
microphonic systems, several electric hums from streetlights and UPS
street stations, a stone wall.</font> </div>
