"HA-BI-TUS"

HÀ-BI-TUS is a choreographic reflection on the theme of identity: what truly defines us? How often do we metaphorically wear clothes that don't belong to us, adapting to superstructures imposed by culture, society, and the environment? 

Inhabiting one's body authentically thus becomes a political and poetic gesture, a process that, like the creation of a dress, requires cuts, adjustments, and decisions. 

In this intimate and layered performance, movement reflects an evolving identity, balancing awareness, resistance, and possibility.

"Sado Island Galaxy Art Festival "

Sub_Bar : Japan

2025

Using art as a starting point, you’re sure to discover new charms of Sado by experiencing Sado’s rich culture, including its nature, cuisine, and historical architecture. In an era of unpredictable global affairs and natural disasters, this art festival aims to challenge existing norms and hierarchies, embracing ambiguity and diversity. It is my hope that this will be an opportunity for each of us to reflect on our own place in the world.

"Persistence of vision"

JustBreath

2025

Persistence of vision refers to the optical phenomenon whereby an image continues to appear in the view for a brief instant after exposure to the original image has ceased. 

This effect arises from retinal afterimages, often referred to as "retinal persistence", by photoreceptors, filtered by the central nervous system, which remain active slightly beyond the cessation of the stimulus.

I imagined that this process could also be present in listening to music: a sound that could remain in our perception even after we have stopped listening to it.

Persistence of visioni s a project of re-visiting a raga of Indian classical and religious music (Raga Abhogi) using western instruments in an experimental perspective .

Eufonia

Live 2025

" Khayal " by Roberto Musci

"Eufonia"

2025

Eufonia is an interdisciplinary platform that explores the relationship between art, science and culture through the medium of sound. 

Eufonia investigating & demonstrating connections between sound, art & science, expanding thoughts & presenting ideas. 

Eufonia believe that art, sound and science are not only linked but dependent on each other. Many divergent fields and paths in life are connected, so bringing these fields together and converging their ideas.

This new form of entertainment, centered on subfrequencies and subwoofers, enriches the cultural landscape with narratives and sensations that have never been experienced before. This opens the door to a new form of ritual: ephemeral, transcendental, and inclusive.

music : Roberto Musci & Giovanni Venosta

lighting design : Giuseppe Filipponio

videomaker : Daniele Cinelli

production : MISANGA Dance Collective

HÀ-BI-TUS is a choreography that deeply explores the theme of identity, asking fundamental questions about what truly constitutes our being. The author reflects on how to distinguish between our true essence and the superstructures imposed on us by society, culture and social context.

The invitation is to question ourselves on how many times we metaphorically wear clothes that do not belong to us, adopting inherited or imposed behaviors and ideas, often without being aware of it. In the same way, it reflects on how we can influence others, unconsciously shaping their “garments”.

Cargo Cult

U.K. 2024

A Cargo Cult refers to a social phenomenon where a group of people practices rituals and beliefs in the hope of receiving material wealth, often modeled after the behaviors of technologically advanced or colonizing cultures. The music contained in this EP is inspired by this bizarre syncretism between the technologically advanced West and ancient and remote cultures that have remained isolated for thousands of years and their interpretation of reality.

Music for Labyrinths

2024

Music for Labyrinths is an open live project for soundtracks of labyrinths in the world and within us. A labyrinth is an ancient symbol that refers to wholeness: it combines the images of the circle and the spiral in a winding but meaningful path.

The Labyrinth represents a journey towards our center and back out .

Jellyfish

2023 

Jellyfish are very ancient animals. Jellyfish fossils have been found dating back more than 550 million years ago (Cambrian period) ,  250 million years before dinosaurs appeared on earth. Some of them are considered eternal animals , being able to transform themselves from jellyfish to polyps, in an eternal life cycle.

When man and all other animals will be extinct on earth, jellyfish will be the only living beings that will populate our planet and, perhaps, will also learn to fly, living not only in the water but also in the air.  

And when jellyfish sleep, they often dream of music...

Jellyfish is a project in 2 parts :

3 music NFTs published on Makersplace :

Ryuichi Sakamoto

( Tokio 17 January 1952 – 28 March 2023 )

I would have loved to talk to him about music while we enjoyed  a nigiri.

I thank him for choosing one of my songs as an accompaniment to his lunch in a Japanese restaurant   ( The Kajitsu Restaurant Playlist ).

Sooner or later we will meet somewhere , sipping a glass of sake.

A.I. Generative Art

Ukiyo-e  A.I. 

2023

With " Ukiyo -e A.I. " I tried to recreate the spirit that pervades Ukiyo-e painting ,the sensations, the colours, the flavors that these paintings evokes me, integrating it with traditional Japanese music and Haiku poetry.

For the Ukiyo-e A.I. project I used a neural networks GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks ) integrating VQGAN (Vector Quantized Generative Adversarial Network) and CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pre-Training ) .

In the VQGAN and CLIP neural network for Ukiyo-e A.I. project I inserted:

Images of Ukiyo-e paintings created by the great Japanese masters representing Samurai, Geishas, Kabuki Actors, Animals.

 Traditional Japanese musical for Shamisen, Shakuhachi, Koto and Kabuki orchestra music , transformed into Spectrogram, linked to images.

Haiku: traditional Japanese short poetry compositions.

6 E Q U J 5

2023

The S.E.T.I. (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) project was officially born on February 1, 1985. It is the culmination of various research and studies aimed at searching for life in the universe. 

In 1977, the media sensation aroused the reception of a 72-second signal that went down in history as the "WOW!" message ( 6EQUJ5 ). The values (from 1 to 9 and from A to Z) indicate an intensity probably linked to an intelligent transmission.

I have imagined that , for each of the different signal  strengths, there was a music transmission : 

6 : 2'07" , E : 1'58" , Q : 2'08" , U : 2'46" , J : 2'10" , 5 : 2'16" 

Pangea  & Panthalassa

2023

“Pangea” is the name of the continent that contained all the land that emerged between 540 and 200 million years ago, in the Paleozoic and Mesozoic periods.

The name "Pangea" means "all the earth" from the ancient Greek "παυ" = "all" and "γεα" = "earth".

The vast ocean that surrounded Pangea is called "Panthalassa", from the ancient Greek “παυ” = “all” and “θάλασσα” = "sea".

In this project I imagined that Pangea was inhabited by man and that a global culture was born without divisions created by borders, wars, religions or ethnic groups.

The music and images of Pangea unite all the cultures of the world : Africa ( voices ), Middle East ( darbouka , ney , finger cymbals ), Far East (veena , sarong ,tabla , mridangam , pipa lute ), Europe ( piano , guitar , harp, marimba , clarinet , flute , orchestra ) , America ( banjo ) and Oceania ( voice ) .

Strange Attractors

2022

Strange Attractors is a musical project linked to the theories of chaotic attractors in the Chaos theory.  The term 'Strange Attractor' is used to describe an attractor that displays sensitive dependence on initial conditions which are initially close on the attractor but become exponentially separated with time, creating a chaotic system. 

Music linked to NFTs is a new and different way of distributing and listening to music, no longer linked to physical or digital media but the possibility of having images, videos and music to experience a musical project.

SiliconCarbon

based life

2022

Scientists have managed to create carbon-silicon bonds in living cells, demonstrating for the first time that nature can incorporate silicon into DNA molecules , creating XenoDNA based silicon life.

Silicon is an abundant element not only on earth but also on other planets : and I imagined the synthesis of xen dna for the creation and duplication of xeno silicon based organisms.

The entire the project includes : 

4 NFT  (2618 × 1896 px ) with video and music

9 images of different stages of meiosis ( 2157 × 1348 px )

Xenomorphs project 

Threose - Hexose -  Glycol

2021

XNA ( Xeno-DNA)  is a synthetic polymer created in the laboratory , that can carry new and alien genetic information as human DNA, but with different molecular constituents. 

The XNAs are able to pass genetic information from one generation to the next,  XNAs could serve as the building blocks for completely new genetic systems and  create synthetic life ( xeno-organism ). 

Creating a genetic code of  XNAs with more bases yields endless opportunities for genetic modification and expansion of chemical functionality. 

I imagined the evolution of the development of 3 different xeno- organisms in 3 different stages of development ( mitosis , meiosis , embyionic ), with music composed for the each stage.

The entire the project includes :  4 videos of 2 minutes each highlighting the evolution of the development of  three different xeno- cells in different stages of development ( mitosis , meiosis ), with music composed for the each stage and scientific information and bibliography  .
