Silvia Tarozzi at Fridman Gallery's New Ear Festival 2023

Following her performance of works in collaboration with Pascale Criton at Brooklyn Public Library (2/23), ISSUE is pleased to co-present Silvia Tarozzi as a part of Fridman Gallery's New Ear Festival 2023 on Friday, February 24th at 8pm ET. Tarozzi will perform Coralli, a solo electroacoustic project. Coralli is an electroacoustic solo conceived as a polyphony. Canons of voices, fragments of Indian alap, field recordings, and toy zither participate in the construction of sound structures, partly composed and partly improvised.

Coralli is also a game of assonances that recalls the chorus, the chorality, the paradox of the solo. In a sort of improbable karaoke, the acoustic instruments, violin, classical guitar played slide and voice, interact with pre-recorded sounds, mixed and composed to create orchestrations and arrangements. Some songs punctuate territories where improvisation is free from preordained structures and as road signs indicate the stages of a sound journey that ranges from folk atmospheres, experimental pop, repetitive and concrete music.

Movement artist, Bire Haarla and composer Hayden Dean will open the evening with a dazzling performance.
