Atlantis (MANIFATTURA TABACCHI)
16–06–2020 / 31-07-2020 Atlantis is a project on the new soundscape that emerged during the first lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic. The composition was created for Living Room by NAM - Not A Museum, and commissioned by Manifattura Tabacchi (Florence). Atlantis represents the emergence of a new sonic landscape that interacts with architectures and their inhabitants. It is an Atlantis revealed by the retreat of the sea of "decibels" that once submerged it.
Inside, we are surprised by echoes, reverberations, and distortions of strings, winds, and choirs.
Distant echoes bounce off the walls, swell into the void of large desolate rooms, or echo in endless fields where there is no one to absorb their power, nor any colorful frequencies to affect them.
In this landscape, rules, relationships, and meanings are shifted as if to reveal the fragility of an illusion that, once breached, returns the profile of the void to which it gives shape.
