Roberto Maldoror Manfredini

RMM The instrument I can play at the best is tape. From 2000 to 2005 I used to play everyday with recording tape and mix, cut, sampling in a very rough way. I think I was reasoning with the categories of "coexistence" (on vertical plane) and "succession" (on horizontal plane). In the last two years I digitalized every sound I produced (I created my instruments too, inspired by futurist Luigi Russolo and his series of "Intonarumori". One of the most interesting is the "Chaosmotic Machine", now destroyed because of my nihilism). I didn't digitalized my songs: instead I have recorded it over again, starting by the sounds. My hypothesis is that in the digital sampling there is more than two categories: I can suppose the existence of a third category, "consistence" (which is on a diagonal line, not on a plane). Actually I'm supposing that the third category, "consistence" both exists in tape and digital version, but if in the tape-working it is a diagonal line, in digital it is a diagonal plane. I think the most important difference is that in digital you can control the spectrum totally... but I'm still working on that. check the release Archeodada (archeodada at email.it)
