Lea Bertucci
Lea Bertucci is an experimental musician, composer and performer whose work describes relationships between acoustic phenomena and biological resonance. In addition to her longstanding practice with woodwind instruments, her work incorporates spatialized speaker arrays, radical methods of free improvisation and creative misuses of audio technology. In recent years, her projects have expanded toward site-specific and spatially aware projects that initiate new access points to architecture. Her approach to music is marked by dense masses of sustained dissonance and a fascination with the sonic substance of common experience.
Alagoa
Following a strong influence from the idea of “reduced listening” by Pierre Schaeffer, Alagôa’s compositions invoke the early stages of acousmatic and concrete music only to find hidden aural qualities in everyday life moments. From recordings of mundane daily routines such as city traffic, people speaking, doors slamming, Alagôa brings together a constant mixture of analog and digital instruments, sample players, heavy processes of granular synthesis and glitching in order to craft both cinematic landscapes and humorous experimental compositions.
