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. A succession of gestures and environments conjures a dense symbolism, triggering a semantic upheaval: in keeping with his interdisciplinary practice of reappropriation and re-imagination of the past, Toninelli builds emotional intensity, moving from baroque organ music to moments of profound stillness, and then erupting into dense sonic masses that blend elements of video game sound design and raw, actionist noise. At once bleak and ecstatic, alien and familiar, "Addio esseri di polvere" blurs the lines between high and pop culture, challenging the notion of a fixed historical perspective.
