About Fabio R. Lattuca
Field recordist | ItalyI am a musicologist and researcher on soundscape and acoustic ecology. My studies are influenced by A. Farina theories about the interaction beetwen geo, bio and antrophonies sources. I am co-founder of âVacuaMoeniaâ, a research project on sicilian abandoned soundscape. VacuaMoenia is an identitary and ecological sonic act aimed at the revolution of deeper meanings. On October 2013, the project takes part in SAE Symposium in Kent (UK) with the installation âGradientsâ and âInvisible Places â Sounding Citiesâ Symposium in Viseu (PT) with the âOmelia al Ventoâ composition. A site-project on Poggioreale, a little town destroyed by an earthquake in 1968, is published on âSound at Workâ â a compilation by TempoReale â by the name â23pg12rl12â. On 2014, I have released for Galaverna (IT) âBorgo SchirĂČâ ChurchScapeâ with P. Bonanno. For the release, I have wroten an article by the title âColonization and Third Scapeâ about the involution of the soundscape of Borgo SchirĂČ, near Palermo. In August, I have released my first solo work for Green Field Recording about the Zingaro soundscape and the interaction between human and natural aspects [READ MORE]. I wrote for the AGORAâ magazine a historical and theoretical article about two rural villages built by the fascism at the beginning of â900, Borgo Regalmici and Borgo Fazio.
On 1st February, Sonic Terrain releases âAmix_â a phonography that puts in contrasts two aspects of the Sicilian soundscape. The recordings were tooken between the reserve of the Bomes lake â 37 823 LAT, LON 13,820 â and the town of Caltavuturo into Madonie county.
âOrecchie Sotto lâAcquaâ â a field recording composition â was selected by SonicTerrain for his WLD2015 â Compilation. Check it and download it.
La Escucha Atenta has just released âP A S H K E Tâ, I was recorded during the Greek-Othodox Easter in Piana degli Albanesi, a small town near Palermo. Two languages, Greek and Albanian, are used in the liturgical celebrations. The ritual, solemn and full of symbolism, originates from the sacred liturgy written by St. Basil and St. John Chrysostom, Fathers of the Greek Church. More infos.
At least, Stuart Fowkes has selected my phonography âZingaro â Ecological Hotspotâ for his project called âMy Favourite Field Recordingâ with other soundscapists around the world.
