Dante’s Songs
Composer Gianluca Verlingieri invited video artist Carlos Franklin (Colombia 1979) to undertake a dialogue between audio and video. Franklin responds to Verlingieri’s composition Dante’s Songs (2019-2020, for Synthi100 and samples of Antonella Bini’s contrabass-flute and Chiara De Palo’s voice) with a series of moving image gestures approaching the acousmatic processes undertaken by the composer: germination, granulation, iteration, inversion and crushing find their equivalents in different, previously analogue now digitally produced, image transformations: error, glitch and distortion will corrupt footage excerpts from an historical silent movie about Dante’s Inferno (1911), also producing deformation from an analysis and recreation through a learning machine.
