Stacco: Sketching Sonic Interactions

Fabryka Sztuky
October 2023, Łódź, Poland

This workshop is part of my ongoing research at the Intelligent Instruments Lab, and is aimed at exploring Stacco, the instrument that I developed together with Giacomo Lepri, as a support for composition. Stacco allows to control neural synthesis model with high precision, but also to freely wander through unoredictable magnetic interactions. Each participant designed a musical score to be placed on top of Stacco and played. The outcomes of this workshop will be part of a future publication.

Music Therapy Workshop with Oncologic Patients

A laboratory aimed at facilitating the intuitive expression of emotions through an AI graphic score. Taking place on the second week of May 2022, for two groups of oncologic patients. One after the other, the sentences written by each of the participants were processed by Emo, a graphic score for emotion recognition, changing in real time the notation played by the groups with musical instruments.

This laboratory started in 2020. It was conceived in collaboration with Il Portico, an amazing cultural association that promotes the integration and well-being of people with different abilities. For the first edition we cooperated with the students of the secondary school G. Leopardi (Mira), that with Marco Privato designed a beautiful graphic score. The participants of the laboratories imagined and sketched on paper a series imaginary instruments, that were turned into real ones using tablets, smartphones and microcontrollers. We used IanniX to rehearse playing over graphic signs and to finally perform the complete score.

A video documentary of the laboratory will soon be available.

This video features the score as imagined by the G. Leopadi secondary school students and the audio from the final performance.
