Simon Longo
Simon Longo in art [DITHERNOISE] born in Milan Italy now based in London UK, works with audio and visuals mediated by computers. The main concern of his work is investigating reality, concepts, meaning, psychology and the aesthetic of noise, with the use of time based electronic media.
He begun to compose and experiment with electronics towards the end of the 80’s, and he has been initially influenced by acid house, techno, and experimental avant-garde. He released experimental recordings on Sinewaves, Muzak, Model inc. Informal, and his own label Modern innovation.
His interest for experimentation and the research of new form of composition lead in the development of theories and methods for improvisation, free sound flow performances, sound sculpture, and audiovisual composition.
His work include multispeakers sound diffusion, visual projections, live audiovisual performances.
Name of Project: SILENCE
SILENCE: Performance by granular synthesis.
The live audio-visual performance allow to explore the available space within the visual and auditory channels, sinaesthesia and onomatopoeia are the field of exploration using a multi sensory surround system.
The live performance unfold in a controlled-generative environment by improvisation, and by a cause-effect process between visuals, acoustic of the space and sounds.
The performance investigate the boundary between musical sounds and noise and expand creative possibilities by organising visuals sounds and noises.
With this particular piece I want to explore further the link between images and sounds from the symbolic, sensations and onomatopoeia point of view, I try to explore the possibilities of sound and images relatively to what the image suggest as to be the sound, taking into account the colour quality and texture of the images, and the communicative power of the singer facial expression.
This work has also other shades of meaning, the juxtaposition of video loops in conjunction with the granulation process of the sound are some how parallel and remind a process of time warping, the performance intrinsic characteristic is that of creating a time-space paradox by crossing the real time-space structure.
How would you describe your project?
Music and club performance, site-specific work / event, installation/project for exhibition.
The role of computer technology and in particular non linear data access technology is fundamental in my work.
My practice evolves from my research in sinaesthesia and in parallel to the developments of multimedia tools such as computers and the possibility to capture process and transcode digitalised media.
SILENCE in my personal view respond to a particular aspect of digital processing, the manipulation of the time line within the event's morphology, freeing it from the boundary of time scale and time duration.
This can be a metaphor for the collapsing of space-time relationship within the digitalized domain and networked communication, were any point can be theoretically reached at any distance in no time. Telepresence allow ubiquity, and a space-time paradox is created when a visual moving image and its sound are frozen in time.
