110610 : Dominique Vaccaro  / Valerio Tricoli

Dominique Vaccaro is mainly focused on collage in a broad meaning of the term, extending the field of action from the visual to include sound. Self-taught musician, he has experimented for years with the various possibilities of magnetic tape mixing short waves, field recordings, voice, guitars and other instruments, objects, feedback and all kind of residual sound. His approach to all of these is emotive, intimate and instinctive, flowings of sonic improvisation alternating frenetic phrases with calm, delicate moments. He has composed music for videos, performances as well for theatre.

Valerio Tricoli works with the electro-acoustic group 3/4HadBeenEliminated, as a concrete music composer, improviser, sound installation artist, producer and sound engineer, and curator. His compositions bridge musique concrète and conceptual forms of sound (i.e. the radical interest in how reality, virtuality, memory relate to each other during the acoustic event): music, as a recorded or as a synthetically-modeled sound, is always hovering between the "here and now" of the event and the shady domain of memory – distant but at the same time present, like a déjà–vu experience.
