Theatre of Listening 31st May -- 4th June 2006

The art sound installations, created by the CRM (Centro Ricerche Musicali), are works that integrate music to sound devices and to the scenic and listening space.

The installations represent one of the innovations of contemporary musical language, since they vitalize a more general process of transformation of the ways of fruition and composition of the musical work.
After their first public presentations, at the beginning of the Nineties, when they proposed a music capable of creating a virtual architecture around the listener, the installations made progressive use of materials and shapes suitable for the construction, also physical, of the space in which sound lives and moves.

The fruition of the musical work occurs through a complex experience of sound and environment, exploiting correlation of the senses in such a way as to stimulate first the intuition and then the active and cognitive participation of the listener who chooses the attitude manner which he finds most congenial for listening.

The installations are based on two important branches of research developed in the Nineties at the CRM: the propagation of acoustic waves (Holophones, Resonators and Sound Pipes) and the vibrational characteristics of matter (Planephones®), the latter with the collaboration of the Fiat Research Centre and DIMI-Roma Tre University .
The art sound installations here diffuse international electronic works and are presented with a lighting design created by architects, both teachers and students, from the Lighting Design Master of the Department ITACA -- Rome University La Sapienza.
