The research on the relationship between instrumental-electroacoustic music, videomaking and soundscape by Ground-to-Sea Sound Collective (Emiliano Battistini, Fabio Mina, Luca Mina) meets the researches on chaos and noise by Biagio Laponte to give birth – thanks to the residency program KATE by Tempo Reale – to “RR_(R)umore(R)espiro”, an audio-visual performance on the concept of “environment”:  a journey from the urban chaos to the breathe of the nature, from the center to the peripheral, from contraction to relaxation, from fullness to emptiness, from identified to undefined as new source of possibilities.

The sound part, composed by three “voices” orchestrated in live (synthetic electronic sounds, concrete sounds made by field recording and instrumental music by flute and winds), relates macrocosm and microcosm, background and figure, taking inspiration from the structural dimension of the landscape, natural or urban, meant as a generator of compositional models. The soundscape becomes a model from which take example to outline the purely musical composition.

The gradation of field and the transition between different environments is shot by the visual part, in an attempt to recreate the perceptions while crossing one landscape, one landscape that becomes really living environment thanks to the practice of crossing, to being involved in the place, to the perceptive proximity as compared to the detached sightseen of a panorama.
