AMP2 - "Hopeful Monster"

The biologist Richard Goldschmidt introduced the term "hopeful monster" to indicate an individual of a species showing a relevant mutation in its genes. This mutation makes the individual a "monster", as it differs from all the other individuals of his species. But, at the same time, it is "hopeful", as it can lead to a radical discontinuity in the otherwise continuous evolution of the species. Our "Hopeful Monster" presents five excerpts from two long, radically improvised, sessions, where no previous structures of any kind were planned. Indeed, improvisation often tends to be shaped as a sort of continuous, slowly evolving flow. But, from time to time, a mutation happens, leading to unprevisible results. The tracks on the album present five of these hopeful monsters.

In "Hopeful Monster", AMP2 is:
Gandolfo Pagano: Prepared Guitar, Electronics
Dario Sanfilippo: Laptop/Live Electronics - Feedback Network Based Nonlinear DSP System
Domenico Sciajno: Laptop/Live Electronics - Max/MSP Programming
Antonino Secchia: Percussion Set
Andrea Valle: Rumentarium, a SuperCollider-Driven Electro-mechanical Percussion Set

... 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).

AMP2 Live @ Live!iXem 2008

2008-12-18T14:54:00.002+01:00

Il Live!iXem 2008 festival di musica e arti elettroniche sperimentali, e giunge alla sua V edizione senza abdicare alla propria vocazione di sponda creativa della ricerca più avanzata.
Unico Festival, per tipologia e metodo, dedicato su territorio nazionale a tutti quegli artisti italiani che si cimentano nell’utilizzo delle nuove tecnologie applicate alle arti, con particolare attenzione al rapporto tra suono ed immagini.
A conferma dell’importante lavoro svolto da ANTITESI con il progetto iXem sul territorio nazionale, il Live!iXem continua il suo “viaggio” attraverso l’osservazione, la promozione e la divulgazione di opere e attività musicali e artistiche sperimentali legate all’universo tecnologico e alla ricerca nel campo dell’elettronica.
Assumendo di anno in anno forme e strutture sempre nuove, il Live!iXem si evolve e si rinnova reinterpretandosi anche come moltiplicatore di relazioni sociali e di scambi culturali ed artistici internazionali.
In questa ottica l'edizione 2008 del Live!iXem aprirà finestra sui giovani della scena sperimentale/elettroacustica ed interdisciplinare siciliana con particolare attenzione al collettivo AMP2.
