a multi-channel sound installation/ remix


HERINFERNO is the result of our 12-week investigation into site-specific sound installation. In creating this piece, we first examined the use of sound in Canto III of the Dante’s Inferno. Using this canto as a framework, we created a personal narrative with original recordings of a young woman's voice (Daria Trevisian). This narrative became a platform for us to examine the issue of sonic art in Italian culture from early artists, such as Dante and Russolo (L'arte dei Rumorie), to presentations at the Biennale di Venezia and the Suoni in Alta Quota - Le Olimpiadi della Cultura Torino. The end result is a sonic montage that juxtaposes vocal sounds, that are reminiscent of the Inferno , with computer-processed variations and fragments of the original text.

Canto III, Inferno, Dante Alighieri:


«Quivi sospiri, pianti e alti guai
risonavan per l’aere sanza stelle,
per ch’io al cominciar ne lagrimai.
Diverse lingue, orribili favelle,
parole di dolore, accenti d’ira,
voci alte e fioche, e suon di man con elle
facevano un tumulto, il qual s’aggira
sempre in quell’aura sanza tempo tinta,
come la rena quando turbo spira.»
