Music improvisation inspired to ancient animistic rites

This project arises from a suspension in time inside the bowels of the earth and from a mental and gestural attitude inspired by the rite.

The ritual has brought to life unlooked-for rhythms and timbres, found through improvisation. In the same way, sound fluxes and pre-musical forms are generated by the elements in their primitive state: water, rock, wood, metal and man.

That is why this musical project intends to avoid the use of connotative rhythms and forms which can evoke recognisable cultures or sound situations, in order to reach a new opportunity of exploration, research and experimentation.

Some of the instruments employed come from the primitive and poor tradition; others have been built by the musicians themselves on the performance occasion.

Water rythms (Ritmi d’acqua) has been realized with the contribution of:
– Paolo Sanna (percussion) e Tiziana Troja (dance), Grottoni dei Bastioni di San Remy Cagliari 2003
– Paolo Sanna (percussion) e Clara Murtas (voice), Grotte “Is Zuddas” di Santadi (CA) 2002
