"Bar Bar" is a composition for radio and a sound performance commissioned during the Pandemic by the Festival des Gestes de la Recherche Grenoble (FR), curated by Simone Frangi and Katia Schneller, in cooperation with Radio Papesse (IT). The work focuses on the voice in relation to noise and surroundings, it makes use of sound, language and misunderstanding as means to materialize and transform a state of isolation. The voice as ephemeral, tactile, vulnerable object moves from the inner to the outer space, surpassing the borders of the marginalized body in a hyper-productive world. At a time when avoiding physical contact and keeping the distance to each other have been normalized, an inner soundscape is exposed as an attempt of empathy and proximity. Through fragmented words, non verbal vocalizing, melodic singing and noise from everyday life enviroment, the piece evolve into a babbling force shaping a new sonic field beyond clichè.
