AMP2 [Advanced Music&Media Pool Palermo]

AMP2 [Advanced Music&Media Pool Palermo]
english description
AMP2 has been a lab founded in 2007 in Palermo by Domenico Sciajno active until 2010, aiming at conveying the creative spirit of artists whose aesthetics does not focus on conventional styles, codes, or genres.
AMP2 has been conducting a continuous and thorough work, alongside to AntiTesi, collaborating with other Italian and international artists such as Peter Kutin, Tim Hodgkinson, Anthony Pateras, Sean Baxter, Dave Brown, Francisco Lopez, Kim Cascone, and taking part to festivals and concert series like Live!iXem and Velak Gala, Quiet Cue, Sonntags Abstrakt.

Music and sound, but also video, image, dance, writing, and so on. The main idea of this project consisted on showing the artist's willingness to leave apart the idioms and preconceived codes of their disciplines to embrace a new language, made up of contextual emergences and deep listening, shared by all artists.

New Release for Bowindo!



Hums

AMP2 +Tim Hodgkinson

catalogue Nr: BW13
label : Bowindo Recordings


... We faced each other around a large table in Gandolfo's luminous flat. It felt like a group of scientists at a conference. Until we started playing. The sessions were hard and long. Sometimes with saturated and wrenching sound. Then we walked to restaurants along streets of collapsing buildings with strange transient sculptures of torn cloth.
The result is for me I hear: being able to move around inside the music... the components without clean finalised surfaces. But aureoled with possibility...the importance of quiet or marginal aspects of sounds in contexts where one might imagine that only big gestures would work...the zoom and shift in the ear's range here (Tim Hodgkinson, nov 2009).
