Here’s a new page showing documentation material from my actions with microphones and loudspeakers from 2015 until today.

New series of night walks organised in collaboration with WAB. With the support of Nadine and the VGC. Technical development by Airborne Instruments.

Here follows the upload of the radio broadcast I did together with Franziska Windisch about (some of) the NO-TAV protest songs. The conversation has been realised for radio in between spaces and is part of a current research concerning the history of the NO-TAV movement read through its songs. More about the NO-TAV movement in eng and ita.

Here are the works that I presented as part of the exhibition Get Some Chalk On Your Boots! – The sounding Cultures of Football, Oxford Brookes University, 15june>15july.

FORGET THE THEATER – GO TO THE STADIUM documents all of the times that the italian word “dai” (in english “c’mon”) was used by the leaders of the ultras group BRESCIA 1911 during Brescia vs. Catania, 2015. The word “dai” is commonly used as an exhortation to urge the group to participate in the chanting.



THE SOUND OF NORMALISATION is a collection of audio recordings documenting the sound culture of the ultras group Brescia 1911 in relation to modern football and the wave of repressive measures targeted at organised  supporters groups. Each recording comes with a short introductory text and is presented here as a video with subtitles. 



ULTRAS MASHUP consists of a series of audio tracks in which recordings of football chants are mixed with the “original” songs they are based on. The work reflects on the musical aspects of football supporters’ culture and supporters’ practice of creation through appropriation.



ULTRAS KARAOKE is the karaoke version of a series of football supporters’ chants. The lyrics of supporters are superimposed with a midi-track of the original songs the chants are based on.

1) The performer is outside with a microphone in his hand.
2) The audience is inside and is listening to the performer from a loudspeaker that is connected to the microphone outside.
3) The performer tries to throw the microphone through the window and reach the inside where the audience is listening.
4) When the microphone enters the inside, the high gain volume (excitement) and the reduced distance (encounter) between microphone and loudspeaker produce an acoustic feedback.
5) In this way, the performer, who is metaphorically embodied in the microphone, finally meets his audience.

The workshop is open to anybody who is concerned with the possibilities of interaction between sound, space, and listening.

The main aim of the workshop is to offer, through direct practice, a wide range of listening experiences in order to lead participants to recognize sound as a concrete presence that puts the listener in relation with other bodies, materials and space.

Practicing different exercises based on sound diffusion and simple movements/gestures, the participants are invited to experience sound effects such as reflection, absorption, filter, threshold… as well as to explore the acoustic interaction between sound, architecture and the body.

White noise is the main material that is used in the workshop. The constant dynamic and frequency spectrum of white noise facilitate an immediate understanding of specific sound effects and provide a stable reference for the articulation of the listener’s position in space.
