Studio I Su Volumi Adattivi

"Studio I su Volumi Adattivi" consists of Planephones® in wood, Tecu copper, iron and aeronautic aluminium. The dimensions at ground level and on the wall (4 mt x 3 mt x 3 mt), the dominant whiteness and the characteristic form make the structure highly impressive from both the plastic and the musical point of view. The materials are integrated by means of cuts and slits which render the form dynamic and highlight its changeable nature. The position of all the mobile metal parts can be varied by the visitor, consequently giving rise to manifold musical and plastic forms. When the structure is not used, or remains static for several hours, an intrinsic process of transformation makes it evolve musically in relation to what it registers from the surrounding environment.
The musical character is fluid and incisive: delicate and slow in the phases of evolution, rapid and polyphonic in those of variation of the plastic form.




The active participation of the public is essential for the performance of the installation as the actions of the visitors are decisive both for the changes in the sculptural forms and for the modulations of the music.
The distinctive characteristics of the installation, the correlation between expressive exigencies and technological options, have called for an interdisciplinary research involving not only the two authors, but also a staff of three musicians, an architect, a physicist and two engineers for the algorithmic control section as well as an engineer for the control of the sensing devices and an engineer for the audio section.
