I got the first idea for this piece after 4/5 months I was living in Teheran. Living there was somehow very different from what I had experienced before in my small hometown, in north Italy. The architecture was of another scale, the traffic, the mass of people, the amount of noises, everything was hundred times more than what I had seen before. In this process of immersion, the concept of IN_OUT takes place: a pure motion, entering and emerging, finding yourself fully in relationship with the environment but still an autonomous being. I try to represent this motion and the process of organization of an apparently chaotic stimulus continuously carried out by our brains, a process that is slowly cracked down during the immersion.

Born in Venezuela in 1994, Jesus Valenti grew up in Italy, where he studied electronic music as a student of the Conservatory of Trieste. In this period he started to focus on improvisation as means for introspection, through the sonic irrational and unpredictable communication forms. In 2017 he participated at Forma - Free Music Impulse, getting in touch with the INA grm and with artists like Ryoji Ikeda, Kassel Jaeger, Emptyset and Aleksandar Koruga. In 2018 he’s member of the Ubulembu electronic ensemble, born from Giovanni Maier’s experimental research on Conduction and improvisation. After this experience he is more attentive to multimedia and multimodal investigation, as he starts to work with different communication possibilities between music, image, sound and other expressive forms. In 2019 he studies Persian language and culture at the Dehkhoda Institute of Teheran. He’s major focus here is the concept of improvisation in the context of Persian music. He traveled in many cities of Iran, capturing field recordings of rural areas’ soundscapes and of big metropolitan centers, seeking to conciliate them with electroacoustic sororities.
