An interview with Mirco Salvadori for Radio Sherwood

Posted on by

Here a super nice interview with Mirco Salvadori posted on Radio Sheerwood.

<<Meeting a looter of the ancient world is something that helps understanding this modern one. These looters’ behaviour does not contain violence or abuse, they are idealists armed with high sensitivity microphones, the same sensitivity they spread on the grooves where the sound is sown. Enrico Coniglio is one of these warriors, inoffensive yet dangerously able to alienate and perturb those who come in contact with the work they produce. One of the greatest Italian exponents of soundscaping, master of sound alternation that allows listening experiences soaked with opposed materiality, linked to the apparent inconsistency of the recorded sound as well as to the ethereal sweetness of the just faint melody. This is a chat that we had a few months ago, on the occasion of his live performance within the festival Oblique Strategies curated by Giuliana Placanica at the Fusion Art Center / Neo of Padua, an event dedicated to border-line sound – which will resume in the fall.>> Read more at here.

Many thanks to Giulia Baldi for the translation from Italian.

OUT NOW: NELL’ATTESA DEL TUO PROSSIMO RESPIRO (13/Silentes – 2018)

Posted on by

“Waiting for your next breath” (Ita “NELL’ATTESA DEL TUO PROSSIMO RESPIRO”) is a double photographic book that includes four different photographic stories by Stefano Gentile and Monica Testa, whose shots have as object of investigation the landscapes of abandonment. Those that once were spaces for social relations (cinemas, parks, hospitals and so on), have now become temples of ruin: marginal, forbidden, dangerous, inaccessible. However, without indulging in the simple ‘painting of ruins’ so dear to Piranesi, they draw from the decadence of architectural complexes and materials the power to imagine possible futures of meaning. Here, in this lies the wait for your next breath… Enrico Coniglio and Stefano Guzzetti – separately – have created, in the margins of the photographic images, some possible musical settings, which we hope can accompany the slow browsing of the book by future owners.

The two 25×25 cm format books are housed in a cross-folded ‘container’ along with the two CDs.
The artwork was created by Chris Bigg (4AD, David Sylvian).
13 publishes this work in an edition of only 300 copies.

Interview for souterraine.org (only ITA)

A long interview for souterraine.org, thanks to Marco Ferretti.

<<Uno sguardo alle onde del mare. L’altro al display del registratore. Enrico Coniglio non è solo un attento osservatore, ma uno dei soundscaper italiani più eclettici in circolazione. Il suo interesse per l’estetica paesaggistica ha spesso stimolato la sua curiosità al punto da ‘traghettarlo’ dall’ambient al field recording, indagando ancora più a fondo sull’identità dei luoghi della propria anima e sull’incerta evoluzione dei territori.>>.

OUT NOW: “Open to the Sea” Dronarivm 2017

Posted on by

“Open To The Sea” is the result of fruitful email conversation between two italian artists Enrico Coniglio and Matteo Uggeri. Sweet and minimal melodies on piano, organ and guitar of Enrico meet the efforts on trumpet and drums by Matteo, whose electronics treatment and delicate beats provide the solid ground to a music that seems a perfect match, unusual and at times brilliant, of the two artists’ sensibility.
