Sound Installation: Camera sonora for 4 radiodramas - at Sound art festival:PX3 2007 in collaboration with Bad Sector
“Camera Sonora for 4 Radiodramas†is an audio installation based on the transmission of four Radiodramas and it’s composed by a dark room where are disposed six old radios, (precisely conceived for a spatialization of the sound) through which , each day, it is transmitted a special Radiodrama created by four artists: Pietro Riparbelli/PT-R (with audio sound sources by: Bad Sector / Strange Attractor / Clausthome / Galerie Schallschutz / gruppo psicofonico di Grosseto / Ssim-el), Massimo Magrini (Bad Sector), Gianluca Becuzzi, Radical Matters – Edition Label (that presents: Aleksander Kolkowski / Project D.A.R.K. / A.M.K / Lt Murnau / Globster).
Camera Sonora is a place conceived for the listening; to concentrate the attention on the pure experience of listening. A sound place not contaminated by any visual presence, in the inner of which our behaviour is induced towards the perception of the sound as a pre-reflexive dimension. This work deals with the world of radio transmission and communication, with a particular attention for the traditional formats of radiodrama. The project is composed by four different “dramatizationâ€, which are developping as “way-forâ€, signs of a dimension lacking of its own wholeness, in its being exclusively an experience. Our perception of things takes us to adhere precisely to the same. It's only the introduction of the thought in the perception that detaches us from this co-belonging. The thought catalogues; the perception adheres.AUS SCHLAFES BRUDER"

CONSTRUCTION" - PIETRO RIPARBELLI / PT-R live - 2006A set of radios are manipulated related to the video projection. This video consists of photographical documentation of a building process construction. The radio signals are manipulated and overlapped in relation to the audio score, which derive from video signal which has been transformed into an audio signal. "Construction" functions mainly as a perceptive exercise. It searches that dimension between the clear perception and the disturbed one. It wants to create a way that the user can develop in relation to his own horizon of sense.An overlapping of audio/video meaning contains a perceptive way in relation to the temporal development. All the used images of video are realized through a photocamera of a mobile telephone.
