Enrico Malatesta / Vibrare Colpi Benandanti

5@7 Opening on Thursday August 22nd 2013
« Rhythm is the distribution of pulse in time ! » With the project Vibrare Colpi Benandanti*, Enrico Malatesta aspires to beget complex polyrhythmic segments that spawn from the contact between objects and percussion instruments, whose vibration emphasizes elements such as dynamics, intention or time signature. Malatesta analyzes the feedback potential and the morphological differences between the objects, which results in the advent of micro-sonic gauges between the multitude of objects in contact and by means of specific gestures. The objects are left to freely vibrate in the space, while engaging in an independent rhythmic activity. The performer’s gestures determine the conditions under which the instruments’ polyrhythmic activity appears, dismissing the « musical » intention and bringing forward a spatial intention that modifies the acoustic reality of the performance’s environment. *The title of the project is a pun alluding to, one on side, the Benandanti – the members of an agrarian cult of fertility in Italy during the Renaissance who engaged in shamanic activities ; and on the other, the indication ben-andanti, used in classical scores.
