1 CARLO SAMPAOLESI
Space Is Only Noise – performance for accordion, video and live electronics
“Memory is Space
And this performance is about spaces and the people who inhabited them. All those spaces that we have built and forgotten, occupied, lived in and changed.
Memory is Time in Space
And this performance is about the time we have compressed and distorted. All that time that we did not perceive because we were too focused on something else or that, on the contrary, we never saw passing.
All these Spaces, all these Times and all these Silences have a Sound, a sound image that echoes in our heads.
We are emblems, signs that signify something other than ourselves. We are sound images that do not need to be told.”
Tommaso Settimi: Come Fendere un’Ombra
Maurizio Azzan: Il Buio è Volume Pieno
Giulia Lorusso: Con Moto
Carlo Elia Praderio: Dorsale

2 JAZZOUX
Jazzoux are comprised of two veterans of the preposterously labyrinthine French free-beat noise scene- Amédee De Murcia usually cranks out slippery and joyful electronics as In Paradisum’s favorite tour-dog ‘Somaticae’ while Claire Gapenne (hailing from the “la ficelle Picarde” crepe loving city Amiens) has spent time in legendary free-noise unit ‘Headwar’ and with numerous solo releases as ‘Terrine’ on French out-beat electronic labels such as Tanzprocesz and Bruit Direct. Suffice to say, these two teaming up gift us a wonderfully wrapped cadeaux of a strikingly free and unprejudiced electronic-beat sound; rhythm jazz played by machines all with a delicious creme dollop of a jeer and buttery wink-wink.
