Lets consider a city Milano and try to listen to it, in its wholeness. Millions of vehicles and machines stirring chaotically, punctuating the rhythm of our affairs on Earth.We deem this ocean of unwelcome sounds mostly as noise. This soundscape eludes our control: we barely rectify it, yet we cant give it up, since its embodied in the truck carrying our food, in the tram taking us to work, in the construction site building our houses. Its the sound of contemporaneity.Sounds can be sculpted. We can use noise as raw material to start with. Noise is at the same time no sound and all the possible sounds. Just as white light contains all the colours, noise contains countless sounds.Therefore, instead of using musical instruments we have ground and crumbled noise in very fine components, building from these elements orchestras made up of roads and airplanes, people andcars. We have created music from a scrap of our society.Everything is transformed. Nothing resembles anymore its former essence. Airplanes become microscopic percussions, cars are turned into metallic pianos, hollow murmurs and waterish illusions. Braking and tailpipes screeches become tides of the thinnest strings.www.audioscan.itConcept and art directionGiorgio SancristoforoMusicGiorgio Sancristoforo e Giuseppe CordaroVideoQuayolaProductionAGONBasementalOrganizationalDanilo CardilloTech consultantMassimo MarchiField recordingDiego Del SartoAlessandro RoggeroLuca DAloiaEliana VarlaroDario PersiDaniele FilarettiSoftware & sound designGiorgio SancristoforoAssistant sound designersDiego Del SartoAlessandro RoggeroTouchscreen softwareDaniele PaglieroCatalogPostmediabooksProduction assistantsCecilia VanolettiWalter DAversaThanks toDalila SenaPietro PirelliVittoria BrogginiSilvia SartorioLen SassoSimone TosoniMarco FringuellinoMassimo GardellaOlindo Genovese
