Addio esseri di polvere
de’ Lamperi is the alias of Florence-based interdisciplinary artist Francesco Toninelli. Conceived as a sound-focused multidisciplinary performance, "Addio esseri di polvere" (“Farewell, dust creatures”) is a haunting soundscape that unfolds against a 17th-century fantasy-like backdrop.

I/O

Spiritual Sound (Mizik Filamonik)
Telluric, intense, terribly alive, the gwoka drums of Guadeloupe carry the identity of a painful and fervent island.
