Feliciano Chiriaco, Conservatory U. Giordano (Foggia)
“Vacuus” is an acusmatic composition on a fixed support that describes the movement of the bodies in an empty space. The meaning of “Vacuus”, the Latin word, is in fact “Empty”, which identifies itself in the structure in the low frequencies and in the dark sounds, in the space so as to be perceived around the listener. “Space” is the key word of the composition, in which all the elements are positioned and moved around independent orbits, which approach and move away until they collide. Then start all over again, you can hear the rotating bodies approaching. Only at the end there will be the decisive battle, the creation. Thanks to the synthesis and sampling processes the sound follows the rotation in the space created by the reverbs and the dynamic compressions. Getting lost in the void is an instinctive reaction, one loses the real perspective, and one abandons oneself to wander about. “Spinning around and getting lost in the dark vacuity, confused by the total lack of importance and feeling.”
