Antonio Gallucci

An ongoing series of unoverdubbed live improvisations exploring the structural limits of acoustic processes, duration, and repetition. Each session uses a single instrument as its primary source, entirely improvised in real time as a generative sonic playground that merges feedback loops, modular synthesis, and live effects processing.

Rather than relying on pre-composed arrangements, each track is shaped organically through frequency shifting, phase manipulation, and spectral editing — resulting in a dense, shifting sonic landscape where raw electronic signals and acoustic phenomena constantly fold into one another.

An interactive web application presenting a minimalistic, imaginary landscape where digital tree branches grow and shift in real-time response to frequencies. Dedicated controls for oscillators and field recordings combine generative, aleatoric audio-file management with user manipulation into a hybrid system.

A suite in two chapters for modular and FM synthesis, wind and string instruments, electronics, sound objects and field recordings. It starts from written material and the physical presence of the players, then lets both erode: the performances are broken down into fragments of data and reassembled by algorithmic processes that discard their original order, until the music settles in a space that no longer feels real — a reflection on what remains when human intention turns into post-human data.

The title points to a reversal: negation instead of accumulation. Emptiness, usually feared or dismissed, becomes the thing worth hoping for — an absence treated as the most meaningful presence.

“A beautifully crafted and delicately constructed work.”

There’s no place where you really belong — two suites for modular synthesizer, string instruments, electronics, metal objects and processed voices, conceived as the sound environment of the permanent ethnographic exhibition of the Musei nazionali di Matera: some 600 objects, from the late 19th to the mid-20th century, that tell the agro-pastoral life and culture of Basilicata.

Sound design for the exhibition “A cì appartjn? Vicinati. Etnografie di oggetti” (To Whom Do You Belong? Vicinati. Ethnographies of Objects).

A single long-form piece of almost an hour for field recordings, modular synthesizer, piano, electronics and metal objects, created as the sound layer of the permanent archaeological collection of the Museo Civico Città di Solofra.

In the new archaeological section — finds from the Middle Palaeolithic to the Middle Ages, housed in the 14th-century former Convent of Santa Chiara — four speakers set into the ceiling play a composition drawn from the surrounding territory: natural sounds, echoes of the past and musical fragments.
