Rorma Soundscape Project is a thematic workshop finalized to build together a soundmap based on the sounds of the city of Rome (starting from "Pigneto" area).

We will form a working group and for about 2 months, with a digital recorder, we will sample the old city using the "listening points" selected to achieve a soundmap available online and also a movie of video art that will be distributed through channels communication of 'Roma Soundscape Project' and its partners. All this is based on the principle of "soundscape composition".

According to Murray Schafer, sounds on environment since the beginning
of history of man are not only cultural and social values but possess a cosmic nature. On this basis the work of sound mapping, which will be built in the workshop through the practice of "walking neighborhood" in the city of Rome tries to build, piece after piece our soundscape composition.

After sampling the work, and meetings on the concept of "soundscape" and "improvisational methods" by a small ensemble (the working group will be established) it will run a happening in the final attempt to unite video art, experimental music and informality of the artistic gesture, according also to 'idea of multimedia by known composer John Cage, avant-garde musical pioneer in this century

The workshop will be coordinated by the musicians and sound designers Francesco Giannico and Alessio Ballerini. (you can easily find some info about them in the "roster" section of this site)
