N.39 Bellezzarap
Sara Maino, 2004

This is a poetic piece inspired by Sanguineti-Liberovici’s 1996 percussive and dithyrambic word work. Edoardo Sanguineti’s Rap sound theater with music and direction by Andrea Liberovici and the performance also by Ottavia Fusco greatly struck my imagination, hence the attempt of some sound experimentation in that direction. As in an old super8 film, with the noise of the film a little off track, the obsessive reiteration of an aesthetic concept of provocative and circular beauty.

Si tratta di un brano poetico ispirato all’opera percussiva e ditirambica di Sanguineti-Liberovici del 1996. Il teatro sonoro Rap di Edoardo Sanguineti con la musica e la regia di Andrea Liberovici e l’interpretazione di Ottavia Fusco ha colpito molto la mia immaginazione; da qui il tentativo di una sperimentazione sonora in quella direzione.
Come in un vecchio film in super8, con il rumore della pellicola un po’ fuori traccia, porto la reiterazione ossessiva di un concetto estetico di bellezza provocatoria e circolare.
