CATARSI

Sound Composition: MARCO MELILLI

Dance Coreography: FABIO NOVEMBRINI

A composition realized for “Corpi Elettrici”, a special project with dance and electronic music by Gender Bender Festival and Conservatory of Music/School of Electronic Music, Bologna.

“Catarsi” is the liberation of the soul from the irrationality of passions.

It is an internal battle, a body and mind transformation, which leads to the purification of the ego.

The song is inspired by experimentation of some sound materials from the NASA website, the original recordings of the space expeditions of the last 10 years.

Starting from these materials, the performance deals with the concepts of accumulation and contrast, relating both to the sound aspect and to the dance.
