We met Giorgio in London for an interview
Hi Giorgio. What first inspired you to make your current audio-visual project?
Hi! It's a pleasure for me to have the opportunity to answer your questions. During the pandemic we have experienced an ever-increasing distance between reality and the everyday life we were used to. The world around us was changing, indeed, it had already changed and would never be the same again. This was underlined and aggravated by the ongoing climate changes, that remind us that every day that what surrounds us is a priceless gift but above all that we could wake up and lose all this, because of our destructive behavior and habits towards the environment and the planet that shelters us. The beauty of nature invites us to reflect on what we could lose and on the moments of loss of ourselves. The connection between the earthly and the otherworldly, the terrestrial and the extraterrestrial environment, the immanence of the nature surrounding us and the infinite distance of the boundaries of the cosmos, is emphasized by the one-to-one correspondence between the audio and video of my artwork/performance. It is therefore about the relationship between the real and the unreal, between the inner world and everything that surrounds us, between what is deeply in our unconscious Ego and deeply far away at the edges of the universe. These concepts entered my artistic and scientific research to create my artwork: an immersive Audio-Video performance with an experimental electronic music composition consisting entirely of real sounds from outer Space, and videos created from photos that were subsequently set in motion beyond reality. The real sounds from space are NASA recordings held by the University of IOWA in the USA. These recordings are transpositions of the electromagnetic fields of the stars, the Earth, black holes, intergalactic space, planets, the Moon and the Sun into sounds. A unique composition that reveals an Idea, namely "The Voice of God". A journey into the depths of the cosmos and into the meanders of one’s own soul. The Space exploration of outer space is the reflection of an introspective journey of self-discovery.
How do you come up with ideas for experimentation in visual and music?
My idea of the Artist is represented by an intellectual figure who plays a role in improving society and who should leave a better world following his passage on this planet. Not only in terms of the environment that surrounds him, but also in the souls of people. My idea have emerged from this vision. My goal is to create something that will lead those who enjoy my Art to take the path of intellectual and spiritual exploration, and I think it is the same as that of any artist: if just for a single moment a human being will go "beyond", he will escape from the prison of thoughts that daily routine locks us, my Art will find its realization.
Art is Freedom.
Describe your creative process when you write music for the visual.
Analysis, research, elaboration: that is my method. The idea comes from the message I want to convey, and this in turn comes from the studying the reality around us. The result is to accompany the listener to another "world", that through the physical sensations caused by the vibrations of the music leads to the belief that it is achievable.
My works, born from a primitive inner search, transform irrationality and loneliness into creative solutions guided by rational thought, often using concepts of Physics as a means of expression.
Tell us something about your professional journey so far and is there anything you’d like to say to your audience.
I am an audiovisual performer, aerospace expert, electronic music producer, multi-instrumentalist and DJ.
Music has always been a part of my life. It is not just a passion, but a part of my being and my life.
My music production ranges from experimental electronic to techno and ambient, and has been released on various international labels. My academic background in Aerospace Engineering at the University "La Sapienza" in Rome is combines with a deep exploration of sounds and artistic and humanistic concepts. I combine musical research with an investigation of the self and the world of the unconscious. As an audiovisual artist and live performer, I frequently participate in Art exhibitions, live Art festivals, and international conferences at universities. In 2022, I participated in the "Live Performers Meeting”, an international event on audiovisual Art in Rome.
On May 13 and 14, 2022, I delivered a speech at the fourth International Conference on Digital Culture and the Challenges of audiovisual Arts, organised by the Department of audiovisual Arts of the "University of lonio" in Corfu, Greece, and exhibited my artworks. Besides my artistic activity, I’m involved in the organization of events and big parties.
My philosophy of life is imbued with kindness, moral integrity, spiritual exploration, and artistic beauty, elements that deeply permeate my existence and my creative work. I believe that Freedom is the greatest value of our existence, the highest ideal that has been given to us: I want this Idea of Life to reach my audience and for them to pursue it for themselves and for other living beings.
What are some of the challenges you face as an artist in your specific field?
I think they're the same challenges that every artist has to face. The desire to reach as many people as possible with one's creations, of whatever kind, is undeniable, but this often leads to a leveling of artistic proposals, often resulting in a flattening and weakening, which leads to conforming to the trend and losing one's own soul in the search for a consensus. Remaining steadfast to one's ideas and expressing one's concepts through your art without submitting to the market, and remaining "marketable", is the true daily challenge of every artist since this word was born.
The comparison between artist and client (be it a curator of a gallery or a record label) must be fruitful: we must ensure that the general public is able to understand and appreciate even the most complicated artistic research.
Are you working on any new project or planning anything exciting that we can look forward to?
After my recent participation in the International Art Exhibition “Milan Art & Design Week” (by art curator Elena Ferrari), I will bring my AV performance “The Voice of God” to the Art gallery “The eARTh Space” (253 Hoxton Street , London) on May 16, 2024, where it will be on display as an audiovisual work until May 18.
Finally, I have many projects I'm working on, including an expressly musical one, my new album of Techno music inspired by a specific cinematic genre. I hope to be able to reveal more about it soon.
Thanks to the AFX blog for your attention to my research.
