Abstract
Radical Improvisation performance with:
Manfredi Clemente (live electronics) - Conservatory of Music in Alessandria (Italy).
Marco Cappelli (guitars and electronics) - Conservatory of Music Palermo (Italy)
Giuseppe Torre (live coding)
Radical Improvisation: A Live Electronic Party is a real-time sonic exploration where the boundaries between digital abstraction, analogue warmth, and acoustic tradition dissolve. This performance brings together Giuseppe Torre (handsandnumbers) on a custom-built live coding environment in Linux Terminal, Manfredi Clemente on analogue synths and digital processing, and Marco Cappelli on guitars and effects. The trio navigates a landscape of radical improvisation, where Torre’s minimalist, number-based commands in Terminal collide with Clemente’s hybrid electronic textures and Cappelli’s extended guitar techniques. The result is an unpredictable, generative dialogue—a fusion of algorithmic precision, analogue spontaneity, and raw instrumental expression. This performance interrogates the tension between control and chaos, questioning how digital systems, analogue circuits, and human gesture coexist in improvisational practice. By stripping away conventional interfaces, the project exposes the raw materiality of sound, inviting the audience into a space where technology and tradition clash, converse, and co-create.
