Three artistic projects emerge from a long experiential research journey. These works are interwoven into a singular performance set in a spatial acoustic environment, that naturally flows between aquatic evocations, erratic rhythms, and unprecedented sonic combinations.The three projects share a process of deconstructing fixed roles (such as those of composers and performers) by embracing DIY instrument expansion and fostering an ongoing dialogue about co-creative processes, mutual trust, and broader artistic contexts.
Poliarmonica is an expanded instrument combining accordion, pedalboards, field recordings, and computer processing. As a result of a seven-year-long investigation into shaping a personal voice for this instrument, Poliarmonica embraces notions of site specificity, relationships, community, and ecology in a performative context.
Through this instrument, Luca Piovesan invites us into his doctoral research, inquiring the agency of a hybrid instrument as a catalyst for collaborative creation.
