MOPCUT is a medium-length noise-style that covers the head and ears with a vertical bang and a horizontal wave. It's a popular style for all ages, genders and generations. The soundscape should be trimmed evenly all around the circumference so that the noise at the front reaches the inner eye while the waves on the sides cover (or almost fully cover) the ears. The beats at the back maintain the same length as the samples at the front and sides. Once the overall sound is achieved, trimming is used to achieve minimalism or maximalism, depending. Improvisation, noise and electronic beats work well as backgrounds for the MOPCUT. Electronic appliances and devices may be used to give the MOPCUT a bit more volume, but effects may lead to standing up instead of hanging low.
Saturday June 19th
h 12 am / 3 am Teatro del Lavoro (in the night between 18th-19th)
L’inconscio in prossimità (unconscious in the proximity) with the psychotherapist Silvia Tedone
It is a workshop designed to help young composers in their creative process.
All the activities aim at exploring self-aspects related to the act of composing as well as the subconscious by means of projective pshycological techniques, body-awareness exercises (mindfulness) and role-playing. The workshop lasts 3 hours and it takes place at night, as nocturnal hours favour a different and deeper self-listening as compared to daytime hours. All activities are guided and the participants are supported by the professional tutor on a one-to-one basis, for safety’s sake. Maximum number of participants: 6 people.
Bio: Silvia Tedone is a psychologist and psychotherapist and her clinical activity addresses chiefly teenagers and adults. She also works with groups, organising targeted interventions to promote workplace serenity and wellbeing; her personal interests and studies range from hypnosis and astrology to analogical disciplines.

SoloVoices performs advanced literature and world premieres of works for solo voices, incorporating instruments, visual media, scenic concepts, electronics and confronting newer with older vocal music.

Quartetto Maurice: Since its formation, a constant and tireless research on sound has been the trait that has best distinguished the Quartetto Maurice. After an in-depth investigation of the traditional classical repertoire, which has guaranteed a meticulous approach to the score and an extreme attention to the performance’s details, the Quartet showed the need to place the music of 20th and 21th centuries at the heart of its repertoire, exploring a great variety of contemporary languages.

In addition to her practice with woodwind instruments, she incorporates multi-channel speaker arrays, electroacoustic feedback, extended instrumental technique and tape collage.

The ability to dig a little deeper is hard-wired into Dalt’s creative process through her background as a geotechnical engineer. Now residing in Berlin, Dalt often seeks inspiration in the worlds of fiction, poetry, geology and desire, excavating nuanced references to untangle and respond to in her music. At times, this exploratory impulse surfaces like an introspective call and response experiment with her source material, forming new perspectives on ideas rooted in Colombian mythology to German New Wave cinema. Dalt’s conceptual blueprints are intimate and intricate, emerging like cyanotypes cast in the sun. Around these frameworks she shapes her sound, using analogue instrumentation, a vast array of synthesizers and the processed glow of her voice.
This workshop take place on May 16th 2021.
It is addressed to 10 young people, students at the Corelli Musical Institute of Pinerolo, in the 13-17 year old.
