“OM”, a fundamental meditation sound present in the cultures of Buddhism, is a syllable full of philosophical and transcendental meanings. The category of the Orient, as contrasted, antithetical and complementary to the Occident (West) and its culture, appears to be one of the most interesting and long-lasting issues discussed in the humanities. European fascination with Oriental cultures has found multifaceted manifestations in science, art, fashion and beliefs. Music, as an important element of cultural communication, has always been well suited for transitions and inspirations. The relationship between the Orient and Western music encompasses a wide and fascinating scope of problems, ...

De Marchi è un musicista. Ma anche un esploratore. È un esploratore della musica; che suona, ascolta e ricerca. Nella chitarra a dieci corde realizza la sua vocazione per la sperimentazione dello sconfinamento: dalle sei corde della chitarra convenzionale ma anche da se stesso. Le collaborazioni con i compositori, le interpretazioni e le relazioni umane che segnano il suo percorso artistico ci mostrano al contempo il percorso di febbrile esplorazione che attraversa su quel territorio mai finito che è la musica. “Suonare la chitarra a dieci corde è una scelta di campo tutt’altro che semplice: ti chiede un sacco di inventiva, di pazienza e anche qualche rinuncia. Ti fa scoprire però dei suoni stupendi che neanche immaginavi e ti fa capire quanto è bello lavorare sui tuoi limiti”

Literary Nonfiction. Film. Translated from the Italian by John Rugman. A history and analysis of a major work by Samuel Beckett, the neglected 1965 film called simply Film, starring Buster Keaton. The author repudiates previous skimpy criticism holding the work to be minor, and examines the work in detail, providing its plot, history and a reinterpretation of its meaning and significance. It places Film within the Beckett corpus, demonstrates its centrality and level of excellence, and explores its relationship to psychoanalysis, surrealism, existentialism, Kafka, Kierkegaard, Sartre and other writers. It also discusses film techniques, perspective and philosophy. "In response to the critical dearth surrounding one of Samuel Beckett's most enigmatic works, Film, starring Buster Keaton, this book examines the creative process used by the Irish author from inception to final cut. Parallels are drawn with the silent film epoch, while all-new interpretations bring together cinema, philosophy and literature. Film has become a crucial nerve center within the Beckett oeuvre, as stereotypes and simplifications are laid to waste."--Paolo Bertinetti, University of Torino, Italy
This method synthesizes a work I began in 1987 which involved several vocal ensembles. Above all, I would like to mention “Gaudium choir” to whom are dedicated most of these exercises. This method has been thought as a sort of “ideal journey” that can be done by a choir or vocal ensemble for a period of a decade at least. These exercises have been written with the aim to fill in, until a certain extent, choir-singers technical and musical deficiencies, as my choir has. Many of the singers with whom I have worked, seem to have problems in reading or learning music, in particular in memorizing texts. They were often lacking a sense of rhythm, besides having a musical ear to improve as ...
In February 2014 an international seminar on musical dynamics and creativity in Africa was held at Tor Vergata University of Rome. The topic and the approach were strongly influenced by issues that Gerhard Kubik believed should have been addressed for a long time, such as the attention to cultural and social dynamics, with a specific emphasis on the creativity of individuals. Beside his keynote address, Music Traditions, Change and Creativity in Africa includes the contributions presented by scholars from different countries, particularly active in the East African area and in dialogue with Italian researchers who have field experience in the same region. Music Traditions, Change and Creativity in Africa is the first monograph of a series of volumes connected and inspired to the journal Etnografie Sonore / Sound Ethnographies (www.soundethnographies.it), which Giorgio Adamo and his colleagues recently founded. Along with the papers multimedia contents are also available online.
