Nuance by Demetrio Cecchitelli

Nuance is a ritual in 5 acts. In conversation with absence, negative bodies, haunted places, specters and traces, the sound-artist Demetrio Cecchitelli investigates the autobiographical space. The project originates from the clash between the materiality of a private, intimate space - the house in which the composer spent his early years, a physical vessel of affection, desire and imagination - and an out-of-tune piano. Through the mantric practice of obsessive repetition he explores new temporalities, rewrite and exorcise the past, while creating a meditative, suspended, minimalistic habitat. A haunted project, cruel and incredibly tender at the same time. Layering reverb, delay and single-cycle feedback in order to create delicate and elegant patterns, he steers the legacy of Grouper, Tim Hecker and Basinski into a rough, raw and uncertain new territory.

Demetrio Cecchitelli (1997) is composer and musician mainly active in the field of electronic and electroacoustic music. Released on Healing Sound Propagandist, Whitelabrecs, Sounds Against Humanity, among others. He has collaborated with theatre company Motus and the director Cecilia Lentini.
