| Alessandro Bosetti Project description : Mask /Mirror A few months ago I wrote a note to myself: "Try to create a mask that that doesn't have anything to do with anything." and kept wondering what that could mean until i started to imagine Mask/Mirror. Mask/Mirror a sampler to process recordings of spoken language in real time. The sampler should follow both sound and meaning criteria in sorting, organizing and processing samples. It will be a software tool based on max/msp designed to develop a fast and flexible database architecture and a speech recognition software in order to interact with my own voice during performances. It has been developed in collaboration with Harvestworks Digital Arts Center in New York and STEIM in Amsterdam. "Mask/Mirror" sorts and process spoken material from my archive of speech recordings I developed in the past years while working on text sound projects. As a sound artist I spent almost a decade working on the musicality of spoken language. Most of my pieces are based on conversations and several unusual ways of using the language. I've been making encounters and field recordings in four continents and I produced sound art and text-sound pieces featuring about twenty languages. Whether I can understand or not, listening and working with the sound of language is what I enjoy the most. By now my sound archives amount of several dozens hours of spoken recorded material. Their organization is subjective, irrational and incomplete. Those recordings somehow represents my memory. Over the years I used them in compositions, exerting a slow paced, labor intensive and meticulous control. Nevertheless, in the meanwhile I've also been looking for a way to make them available for real time processing during performances. Mask / Mirror should is able to formulate new utterances starting from pre-existing speech samples. As with a normal sampler it is able to give an impulse, decide what frequency range the next sound will have, what duration etc. But it is also able to determine whether the sample voice will be male or female, speak in present or past tense, talk about roses or geography and so on. The possible parameters are virtually infinite. Mask / Mirror is a companion piece of the spoken improvisation ensemble piece "The pool and the soup" and is part of a broader attempt to develop musicality of spoken language in improvisation. Eventually I would like to have those scores shared online creating a community of users and developers. I'd be very happy if Mask/Mirror could be able to grow organically and collaboratively as long as other performers/developers would like to apply that to their own sound memories, modifying it and sharing the results. "...create a mask that that doesn't have anything to do with anything." Mask/Mirror has to do with virtually everything but at the same time it does not have anything special to do with anything special. As well as being a blank mask I can put on my face - and my voice - it's also a mirror that let me browse and talk to my memory while I am watching into it. All mirrors are masks and vice versa. Both are tools enabling identity. |

| About Alessandro Bosetti Composer and sound artist working on the musicality of spoken words and unusual aspects of spoken communication, producing text-sound compositions featured in live performances, radio broadcastings and published recordings. In his work he moves across the line between sound anthropology and composition, often including translation and misunderstanding in the creative process. Field research and interviews build the basis for abstract compositions, along with electro-acoustic and acoustic collages, relational strategies, trained and untrained instrumental practices, vocal explorations and digital manipulations. Performed at : Lampo/chicago, Carnegie hall, 2pi festival/hangzhou, thinking hands/beijing, musique action/nancy, festival musiques innovatrices/st. etienne, konzerthaus/berlin, konzerthaus/wien, uplink factory/tokyo, controindicazioni/rome, experimental intermedia/new york city, roulette/new york city, big apple/kobe, gendai heights/tokyo, SAIC/chicago, huddersfield new music festival, resonance.fm, kraakgeluiden/amsterdam, bimhuis/amsterdam, space and place festival/berlin, densitees festival/fresnes, instants chavires/paris, steim/amsterdam, hausmusik festival/berlin, GAM/bologna, festival muzzix/lille, trinity college/dublin, frakture festival/liverpool, atlantic waves/london, akusmatischer salon/berlin (co-curated), emballage festival/braunschweig, atelier grammophone/hannover, ausland/berlin, ziegeist gallery/boston, clusone jazz festival, fylkingen/stockholm, bla/oslo, the red room/baltimore, mopomoso/london, the klinker/london, europa jazz festival/noci, netwerk/aalst, thatre de mercellin/brussels, peniche opera/paris, extrapol/nymegen, sonorit�s/nancy, sound art/cologne, biennale/bonn, villa delle rose/bologna, dangerous curve/los angeles, non event/boston, high zero festival/baltimore, festival beyond innocence/osaka, mus�e d'art modern et contemporain/strasbourg...
