(ex)tension, by Fabrizio di Salvo in collaboration with reConvert.

Our idea starts from the necessity to investigate space, to explore its features, finding the potential in acoustic properties and using them as a starting point for our research. How is it possible to create a three-dimensional and analogue sound system? How are we able to work with instruments that can move sound in space? Taking advantage from the use of customised industrial items, we will have the possibility to create three-dimensional audio images controlled and designed in real time by the performers. The concept that interests us is the single percussive impulse as music creator. We can change surface, speed of execution but the impulse is at the core of every percussive action.

reConvert will participate at the International Festival of Expanded Music (Montevideo/Uruguay). FIME seeks to found a radical and committed scene of the music in the present; a hacking music space in South America. This edition will occur at the three main opera/concert houses in Uruguay. Its main axes are the production of concerts, seminars and the creation of a collaborative network between Latin American music centers. The Festival will count on with the Swiss presence of reConvert playing K. Rosenberger & Fabrizio di Salvo.

Concerts:

(ex)tension, by Fabrizio di Salvo in collaboration with reConvert.
Amoeba, by Fernando Manassero in collaboration with reConvert.

The Festival has been postponed to mid 2021.

The 11th Edition of Experimentalia Festival invites again to reConvert, in this occasion taking place in streaming.
We will present the extended version of AMOEBA a piece in collaboration with Argentinian composer Fernando Manassero, that we developed from 2018-20.
Previously to the concert, we will have a talk where we show our work together, the processes of the piece, etc.

Amoeba is an ecosystem of independent sound stations and modules, partly operated, partly automatic. This work is about interaction, integration, attraction and repulsion. The room is darkened and the stations are gently lit so that the movements of the objects and the actions of the performers are visible. The stations are sound sources, some electromechanical, some electronic. They create sound structures and transmit them via small microphones and loudspeakers. The listeners may walk freely through the installation room.

NeoArte Synthesizer of Arts is:

– the festival held in Gdansk, Poland and presenting the most interesting trends in contemporary music and art
– the platform interconnecting artists from different cultural backgrounds and provenances
– the event of intriguing and uncommon profile giving a chance for the contact with music and art
– the medium expanding new areas of human mind and enriching our world perspective.

reConvert presents a new pedagogic project in collaboration with the Musik-Akademie of Basel.

How is the process of assembling a concert before the audience arrives in a room fully prepared to offer a show? Starting from that base – the before and the after, we present this program conceived by the acclaimed Danish composer Simon Steen-Andersen in which we propose a monographic program. In it we will not only find the composer as an interpreter, but we also offer an artistic vision of the preparation of the concert and the use of the installations as a sound resource.

reConvert shares the stage with Simon Løffler – participating both as composer and performer – premiering a new duo and a new solo piece.

What does it mean performing the music with the person who conceived it? But not just performing as rehearsing with, performing face to face; sharing the stage with.

Simon Løffler (Denmark, 1981), is one of the leading composers from the New Nordic Generation – we could say -; who, as we indicated, has outstanding performative skills, but not only. His pieces are recognized by the achievement of simple ideas that, in most cases, involve the use of devices, what should be considered instruments, created specifically for them. Is the case of some of the pieces included in this project, as core. Probably what might attract most attention in these concerts will be the settings that will be present in the venues for each of the pieces, which will undoubtedly condition both: the dramaturgy and the space/stage where they will take place.

“Lecture About Myself” is a 30-minute audiovisual performative situation in which two musicians enter into a fictive dialogue with an artificial intelligence. The latter communicates via projected text and abstract video images. The former are seated at a table in front of the projection surface. With microphones, a vocoder, synthesizers and various controllers, they ‘speak’ a strange language that is only partly intelligible. Crucially, their vocal utterances are turned into control data that is used to feed various electronic sound and light processes. What results could be positioned somewhere between an uncanny conversation with an AI (parts of which are unintelligible) and a hallucinatory/phantasmagoric radio drama.

Zeiträume Festival 2019
Basel, Switzerland

“Das grosse Konzert”
reConvert project & Kollektiv fuchs&flaneure

The percussion duo reConvert project and the collective fuchs&flaneure were commissioned by the Basel Biennale for New Music and Architecture ZeitRäume to carry out an audio walk through the St. Johann Quarter in Basel. The working title of the Audiowalk is “The Great Concert”. In it, about 20 participants, together with a sound artist and two percussionists, will trace the sounds and musicality of the quarter and the urban space. How does the city of Basel sound? How do the people who live there change and shape the sound of the neighbourhood?
An approximately one-hour radio play walk turns urban everyday sounds, pre-produced sounds and the musical interventions of the two percussionists into a grand concert.
