Composer and sound artist Alessandro Bosetti invites the public to a series of mnemonic practices in a hypothetical "sound memory palace", a physical and imaginary space containing sound memories linked to life stories.

Rumbles, sighs, melodies and words. Stories attached, like a skin, to certain sounds that resurface from a desired, rewritten, celebrated past. A place that is perhaps only mental, where we rediscover certain memories through meditations, exercises and experiences for which we must close our eyes.

What does an unforgettable noise sound like?

Sound writing emerges from a convocation of sounds and strives to reconstruct, transform, reshape and recompose them in the mind and heart. For both the listener and the author, it's a question of searching for the emotions that, among sounds, enable us to remember some and forget others, moving lightly through the territory between oblivion and auditory hallucination.

La mémoire réside dans le lobe de l'oreille is a sound performance created as part of the Short Theatre festival and the European Radio That Matters project, in collaboration with a community of blind and visually impaired people attending the A.S.P. Sant'Alessio Margherita di Savoia in Rome.
