Sunday, May 5. Genoa's sky lacks blue, and the sea breeze meets the cloths hanging on the top floors of buildings downtown. This afternoon at Teatro della Tosse Space Is Only Noise goes on stage, a concert-show by Carlo Sampaolesi, an accordionist from Castelfidardo. The performance brings video art, light, and Carlo's performance into dialogue. His accordion meets synthesizers in electronic compositions by Tommaso Settimi, Maurizio Azzan, Giulia Lorusso, and Carlo Elia Praderio. The result is an organic and immersive experience of extraordinary intensity. As Carlo concludes his performance, a procession reaches piazza Matteotti, a short walk from the theater. The demonstrators are protesting in support of Anais, Lea, Davide, Edo, Ema, Jack, Michele, and Paolo, who were violently attacked and arrested by a disproportionate deployment of law enforcement following an altercation, caused by a police car that threatened to run over a dog in front of the Ex Latteria Occupata on stradone Sant'Agostino. This recording tells of the riotous sounds of Genoa, of those who resist with their bodies and rise up in the alleys of the center, and of Carlo's music that rebels against the boundaries of his instrument, creating original scenarios and languages.

My Synthetic Thoughts explores the complex intersection of mental health, medication, and one’s subconscious, and memories. The protagonist seeks support to understand and take action related to persistent disorientating transportations and their resulting experiences. However, with little sense of agency, the protagonist’s search for meaning, motive, and resolution becomes increasingly desperate. Their subconscious—cluttered with fragments of unresolved time—inhibits their ability to focus, think lucidly, and find the inner peace they long for.

I created this audio piece based on a prompt from Disquiet Junto (https://disquiet.com/) "Turn old news into new music". I love reading very old news articles and noticing the ways life is still the same and the ways it’s very different. I wanted to find something from 100 years before I was born in The San Francisco Chronicle. My actual birthday (August 20th) was missing pages in the archive where I looked (newspapers.com) so I went with August 27th, 1884. The story I found is a ghostly echo of the present day anxiety about fentanyl but in other ways has no moral or backstory - it’s just a snapshot of life. I distorted the speakers voice about halfway through, using Holly Herndon's Holly+. And I used Victorian street sounds by Timbre from freesound.org.
