Daydream Livorno Soundwalking Project
This project is focused on a series of collective soundwalks into the streets of Livorno, an old sea town in the west coast of Italy, which I choose as a spot to invesitgate the urban sonic space. Here some images from three different sound walks I led in September 2021 where participants walk in silence, listen to space around, write or draw and sometimes record audio or take photographs/video out of the experience. I collected lots of visual, sonic and abstract materials from sound walkers, please check it out on Daydream Livorno Soundwalking Project where you can see the entire process.
A new inspiring sonic collaboration
From Nichola Scrutton web site who offered me this opportunity
Memory | Dream | Encounter Micro-Commissions
In another thread of the Night Vision development, I responded to the main text through a series of drawings.
I was delighted to offer micro-commissions to composers/sound artists Ruth Wiesenfeld, Elisabetta Senesi, Dafna Naphtali, Julia Drouhin and Claire Docherty – an invite to create miniature sound compositions using fragments from those drawings as a visual prompt. The umbrella title is Memory | Dream | Encounter.
On 31st August 2021 the six composers met in a virtual gathering to listen together, discuss the works and creative process.
Many thanks indeed to:
Claire Docherty – Pulse dream fragment For Una MacGlone (bass) & Emma Roche (flute) (3’23)
Dafna Naphtali- Striations (3′)
Elisabetta Senesi – Under the Surface (3’50)
Julia Drouhin – Mer4 (3’50)
Nichola Scrutton – Gestures (3’44)
Ruth Wiesenfeld – the wool from which the ribbons were made (3’54)
The images were a prompt, a connecting point, a spring board for dialogue. The sound compositions stand as individual works and as a collection, which hopefully will be shared publicly in the future

Ba-Li-Bo New piece part of Sur Aural Festival 2020 Santa Cruz Bolivia
My piece starts at min 17.30 – Headphones reccomended
BA-LI-BO (ITA) 2020 Autora: Elisabetta Senesi
La pieza es una composición de paisaje sonoro que involucra diferentes manifestaciones sociales en Argentina, Portugal e Italia entre 2016 y 2020. Hay un cambio en el gobierno argentino donde las calles de Buenos Aires se convierten en teatro de coros, batería y expresión del pensamiento social después de la larga historia de Kirchner. poder. Por el contrario, una lucha portuguesa inacabada frente al parlamento de Lisboa contra la austeridad y la precariedad + una huelga policial por justicia en el trabajo. La pieza termina con golpes de Bolonia, donde el movimiento de la Sardina se manifiesta contra la situación política y el lenguaje en Italia a principios de 2020, antes del estricto bloqueo causado por los Covid. Quería obtener algunos recuerdos sonoros de estos tres países ‘sureños’ llenos de innumerables voces, coros grandes, ritmos agitados y marchas silenciosas que expresan incomodidad pública o están dispuestos a cambiar, y reunirlos en un flujo único de conciencia social “.
