Outcome of the Workshop conducted by Alessandra Eramo




Starting from the imaginative power of the night and the mysterious sounds it offers, exploring the state between sleep and wakefulness, the Choir listens and interprets "with all the cells in the body" the urban soundscape on the border between real and imaginary, fluctuating between present and resonances of the memory of places.Through the aesthetic and political practice of listening to space, vocal improvisation, storytelling, the use of extended vocal techniques and the recording of environmental sounds, in Canto Notturno the Choir stages the semi-hidden and semi-audible crepuscular acoustic suggestions from the urban space, and creates a vocal dramaturgy of songs, noises, lullabies, prayers and invented languages.
