About Me


Mário Del Nunzio - biografia
About the pieces currently in the player:
"Improviso em Branco e Preto (carta às videntes)" was composed in 2004. The piece, which uses mainly fragments from pre-existent recordings, had its initial idea in the perception of the difference between the sound material of percussion instruments of two categories: the first, of works by composers such as I. Xenakis, K. Stockhausen and B. Maderna, specifically in recordings of the 90's, pieces which have a great gestural and instrumental variability, but with a high degree of standartization in what concerns the recording procedures; the second, of drum solos in albums by rock groups, which have a very high degree of instrumental and gestural siilarities - repetitive drum patterns played really fast, in similar drum sets - but which, due to a specific attention to the recording and sound treatment, have a peculiar and specific sound identity.
Its title emphasises the improvisational aspect of the piece and evocates texts by the same name by R. Char and A. Rimbaud - texts which deal with the viscerality, time instability, dissolution of boundaries and some kind of destruction (even if all that happens during a party), directly related with the highly energetic and explosive caracther of the piece.
"Contradição paradoxa", which had its first performance in 2007, is a non-written piece (some kind of oral tradition?), created and played by the duo formed by Mário Del Nunzio [electric guitar + live electronics] and Bernardo Gomes de Barros [live electronics]. Here is presented an excerpt (due to mb limitation on myspace) documental live recording from its premiere, in São Paulo.
The piece is an electric guitar meta-duo, as the live electronics and pre-recorded material is largely based on samples from the instrument - which, on the other side, tries to emulate the manipulation pf the live electronics by means of extended and non-conventional instrumental techniques.
"Fragmentos de Vermelho" is a very short electroacoustic piece, composed by requistion of Juliana França, for a dance performance created by her. The idea presented at the requistion was something like: "30 little pieces one after the other, each one lasting 1 second". The material of the piece basically contains excerpts of sounds which, by some reason, could be associated with the color red ("vermelho" - as in the title, which could be translated as "Fragments of Red", or "Red Fragments" - in portuguese).
"Ajudai?" is a piece from the forthcoming album by O "mundo" entre aspas, album which will be called "Beatos". The album will contain pieces based on material from songs by The Beatles. This piece specifically, for two pianos and electroacoustic sounds, is based on the song "Help!". Even though this piece will be on an album by the band O "mundo", it was composed by me, and I also played both pianos and made the electroacoustic manipulations.
