Research and creation residency.
Medeterranea is an electroacoustic work expressed through a progressive stratification and destratification of sound materials from the author's personal archives.
These are archives composed of various field recordings made over time in different locations in the Mediterranean region, and which are continually enriched, often seeking out hidden, liminal sounds, sounds that blend with things and territories, that seem universal and at the same time linked to geographical sites of belonging.
The piece aims to deal with processes of territorialization and deterritorialization, seeking out forces that are constituted and crumbled through a working method based on a semi-improvisatory practice, an anti-hierarchical and non-idiomatic path.
During the performance of the piece, the chosen sounds are elaborated through minimal material manipulation and real-time editing.

One aspect of his sound research aims to rediscover basic electroacoustic techniques for processing concrete sounds, as well as the search for an interpretative potential linked to the use of various field recordings freed from the spatio-temporal context of reference.
