Real Time is a software for installations that plays selected MIDI scores by capturing ambient sounds in real time from geographically distant devices. It executes the silent notes of the track by replacing them with the closest acoustic frequencies in tone.
The project, conceived by Alessio de Girolamo, has been welcomed by LIM (Laboratory of Musical Informatics at the University of Milan) and developed by the Department in collaboration with Jacopo Silvestri on the occasion of his Bachelor's Thesis.

The project is in an experimental phase due to its innovative nature and is continuously being improved.
Time and Numbers
“[...] The experience of sound unfolding in time seems to flow beyond the very notion of number. Listening occurs in the moment in which it creatively generates itself within us, each time as if for the first time. It is an event that never truly repeats, even when listening in a loop to an old recording played back through any analog or digital device. [...]”
“[...] What would happen if the computational dimension were aimed simply at creating the conditions for a sonic incident in which space, time, and listener themselves become the sonic material?
How could a calculation loosen its dependence on number, in order to enable a fusion between person, landscape, and time? [...]”
(A. de Girolamo)
