ll tempo Ripetuto // Repeated Time is a sound installation widespread throughout the village of Radicondoli that refers to the cyclical trend of pandemics: the central theme of the work done by the artist, together with OCRA, the young Chamber Orchestra of Radicondoli.
Taking inspiration from the Scratch Orchestra and its sound pedagogical exercises, Anna Halprin, UltraRed and Pauline Oliveros, the artist led OCRA in the production of experimental scores that reflect the personal experience of the musicians, through a series of improvisations carried out without a conductor.
The orchestra played images, reworking through its instruments, chronicles and narratives on the plague that struck the Val d’Elsa in 1630-1633 and on the most recent experience of lockdown.
