"From a technical point of view the Sound Reportage are timed recordings, made on an endless cassette, using a cassette recorder without the erasing head. Various recordings (little fragments of the existing sound material) overlap in a quite random way; if the sounds that was recorded before are enough loud and have a distinct presence, they'll inform with themselves the recordings that will overlap them. The dominant frequencies and the characteristic of the sounds themselves and of the various acoustic environments will be reinforced and will become more and more manifest; rhythmic elements, if they are very frequent, will be magnified or overlapped, creating new patterns.
Sound Reportages are really researches about the soundscape of certain environments, but I like to think on them also as reflections about our own memory, in which any new experience can magnify or fade or erase the memories and the traces of the ones that came before." Francesco Michi

Five electroacoustic works of amazing beauty, streched to the exploitation of the acoustic event and the discovering of the existant link between sound image and its perception.
Technology is an instrument and a multi-level media. The use of the computer is “instrumental” in the deepest meaning of the term. The electronic element become expressive mean, intimately used. The metallic streaking sounds ("Dalle volte dell'antro"), the circular noises ("La clessidra di cristallo"), the streams and the lovely “patchwork” of sound, excerpted from pieces of Luigi Nono (together with the “live” performance of Giancarlo Schiaffini and his trombone) in "Repetita Iuvant" – a piece recently awarded at the Prize for Electronic Composition "Pierre Schaeffer" - soon become distinctive elements of this music.
Luigi Di Giampietro: electronic sounds, with the trombone of Giancarlo Schiaffini and the flute of Ubaldo Di Gregorio, special guests in two tracks.
