Tiziano Popoli

*2025 stock. 50 copies limited edition* Tocca il futuro and Soave Records are happy to announce Tiziano Popoli's new release 'Sull'Accordo Mimetico'. A sound installation commissioned Marco Paolini, artistic director of the ParcoScenico Festival, held in Treviso, Italy, in the early 80’s.

“Sull’Accordo Mimetico was commissioned by the Italian actor and director Marco Paolini, who - at the time - was the artistic director of the ParcoScenico Festival, held in Treviso, Italy. Since the area where artists and the public gathered after the Festival was located to a very busy street, Marco asked me for a sound installation that could work as some sort of a defensive barrier for the street noise. I suggested that my work, rather than hiding the noise should aim to harmonize the disturbances coming from the street within musical structures and forms, without burdening or saturating too much the acoustic spectrum of the place. In this way, I thought about sonic veils, consisting of repetitive - but also light and discreet - harmonic-rhythmic structures, since the Festival took place in a beautiful centenary park, i also integrated the music with natural sounds and animal calls, always as an attempt to bridge these sound events and the other materials that made up the composition. The human voice constitutes a central element in this musique d'ameublement project, as a constant source of memory of places and times - here with many references to traditional music for children. In its original form, the work consisted of three 2-track magnetic tapes, lasting about 30 minutes each, which were broadcast in sequence. This edition represents a synthesis of the original installation, with a total duration of approximately 56 minutes.”
