School and college in New York (Bard College, New York University). Now lives in Milan, Italy. After studies in New York (Roswell Rudd, Charlie Haden) he began his professional career in the early 1970s playing standup bass in jazz groups. Toward the end of the Seventies he founded, together with John and Evan Lurie, Arto Lindsay and Tony Fier, the group The Lounge Lizards. For five years or so the group performed all over the world, including international festivals and important venues. Their first LP (now CD, Virgin), published in 1981, continues to sell quite a few copies each year. In parallel with his activity as a jazz instrumentalist, Steve worked in the world of pop music, writing songs and lyrics. After having published two LPs under his name (Domestic Exile, Adaptation) in the early eighties (US, France, Italy, still available in Italy from Materiali Sonori) he began working with songwriters and producers on an international level. He began to spend more time in Italy, working with producers like Giancarlo Bigazzi, Caterina Caselli, the La Bionda brothers, Claudio Fabi, Toto Savio. He wrote songs for artists like Raf, I Righiera, Umberto Tozzi, Alberto Fortis and many others. The song “Self Control” written by Bigazzi-Riefoli-Piccolo (1984) with lyrics by Steve sold many millions of copies, reaching number one on charts all over the world. During the second half of the eighties he lived almost exclusively in New York, writing songs and music for theater. His favorite production from the time was “Ambition” by the company “Love Theater” (Peter Halasc, ex Squat Theater, the company with which Steve worked in the early 1980s), seen at the La Mama theater in New York. In the 1990s he moved to Milan and published two CDs with the collaboration of Italian and American musicians: “Hilarity Workshop” (Underground Records, Bologna, 1997) and “Bitter Pill”(Cox 18 Music, Milan, 1999-2000). His songs were included in compilations published by Sony and EMI, and a number of compilations in the United States). Starting in 1995 he returned to frequent live concert activity, playing festivals and theaters in Italy and around Europe with different line-ups, including Italian musicians (jazzmen Giancarlo Locatelli and Filippo Monico), members of new ‘rock’ groups (Massimo Volume, Afterhours, Rosso Maltese) and renowned artists from New York (Elliott Sharp, Zeena Parkins). For the record company Mescal (dist. Polygram) he produced the CD “Da Qui” by the group “Massimo Volume”. Work with the group continued in 2001 with a concert tour in which Steve also performed on voice, bass and rhodes. Since 1999-2000 his research has focused on the major project The Expedition, a narrative-musical work with many different parts, specifically developed for each city or venue in which it is performed, using the sounds of that city. In the early versions there were as many as 12 musicians on stage, theater sets were utilized, but without video images. After the debut at CS Leoncavallo in Milan and the version prepared for the festival Brescia MusicArte (both in 1999), the show was broken down into modules for separate development. Live work continued in duo with Luca Gemma with “The Secret Diaries of Bruce Chatwin”, at the festival Frontiere in Milan in 1999. This show was later seen in festivals in Pisa and Livorno in summer 2000. DJ-composer Gak Sato (from Tokyo) joined the project in 2000, in the show “Songs about Danger”. For the first time video images were introduced in the concerts, by Armin Linke. This piece was presented at the festival Frontiere in Milan in 2000, and developed at CS Cox 18 Milan a few months later. The project then evolved into a new Expedition. The first results were heard in “Getting Ready for the Expedition” in Venice, for the concert series Off Risonanze, and in Catania at Mercati Generali. Two of the pieces developed for this show became part of the CD by Gak Sato, “Tangram”, published in 2001 by Temposphere Records. From 21 March (premiere at Radio Popolare in Milan) to 15 July 2001 the new version “Expedition/Dérive” was performed in museums, cultural centers and festivals (Milan, Sesto San Giovanni, Catania, Mestre, other cities). In summer 2001 the urban sounds archive assembled by Sato and Piccolo began to produce many new compositions. New videos were also added, working in collaboration with the visual artist Luca Pancrazzi. The work was presented in the context of the MilanoFilmFestival at Piccolo Teatro Studio in Milan, 22 Sept 2001, under the title “Effetto cinema: musica alla deriva”. The collaboration with Elliott Sharp has continued for many years now, including a performance at Teatro Fondamenta Nuova in Venice 26 November 2001, in a duo entitled “Songs from the Frozen Zone”. After a positive experience at the Milan Polytechnic in the summer of 2001, in which the students recorded the sounds of the city to construct a performance and an urban sound map, Piccolo-Sato-Gemma with special guest Elliott Sharp did a concert and workshop at the IUAV architecture institute in Venice on 30 November 2001. The concert “Expedition/Dérive” was included in the series “Suoni e Visioni” in Milan, 11 March 2002 at Teatro di Portaromana, in a complete version with set design, special guest Elliott Sharp and new videos by Janene Higgins, Armin Linke-Paola Di Bello and Luca Pancrazzi. Steve performed on guitar, bass and vocals in the tour for the CD Tangram by Gak Sato in 2001-2. Steve Piccolo and Gak Sato also work in the field of “sound art”, creating installations for galleries and museums. They collaborate with visual artists to realize the sound portions of more complex works. In 2002 the song Green City by Steve, arranged by Gak Sato, was published in over 250,000 copies of compilations in the US, England and Italy. Expedition/Dérive was also performed in the Central Station in Milan, 28 May 2002 (see press release in Italian). Steve and Gak prepared a sound installation and concert for the MilanoFilmFestival 2002, recording and processing the sounds of the square in front of the Piccolo Teatro (22 Sept 2002). Steve participated in the project of Auditorium Records and MMT “A Year for Cage”, a one-year series of initiatives on John Cage, with the first concert at Teatro OutOff in Milan 27 Sept 2002, later at Radio Popolare. This project has evolved into the group Full Metal Cage Collective. Steve co-wrote and sang the title track “Spontaneous” for the recent CD by DJ-composer Painé, for Temposphere Records Spring 2003. In May 2003 Spontaneous was in the German Top 30 club charts. Steve collaborates with the radio program Remix on Rai 3, by Istituto Barlumen. With the group DE-ABC (Steve Piccolo, Gak Sato, Luca Pancrazzi), design of an urban installation, seen in the Urban Furnishings Fair of Esterni and the Isola Art Project show, both in Milan (April 2003). Steve and Gak have composed, performed and recorded many soundtracks for films and videos, including recent projects (2003) with Gabriele Di Matteo and a video on the history of the Compasso d’Oro design award for ADI. The latest video sound works have been for Adrian Paci, Ivo Bonacorsi and A Constructed World. Participation in the Isola Art Project, an initiative of a group of artists and critics to save an abandoned factory surrounded by two parks in a cool neighborhood in Milan and make it into a contemporary art center, instead of the shopping center fashion promo speculation planned by the city. Steve and Gak have recorded a one-hour program for WPS1 Art Radio (NY), entitled "Expedition". Steve and Gak are back again on the faculty for 2004-5 (their third year) at Accademia Carrara of Bergamo, teaching a course on "sound design". Steve will also teach the Sound section of the university course on "new techniques of art". GAK SATO was born in Tokyo in 1969. In 1994 he created the band Diet Music in Tokyo. In 1999 he became Artistic Director of TEMPOSPHERE, the contemporary music label of Right Tempo Records in Milan. His debut album POST-ECHO (Temposphere, 1999) immediately led to contacts with other producers such as Amon Tobin, Kid Loco and United Future Organization for artistic collaborations. Gak has participated on various remix projects (Easy Tempo Experience) with the Easy Tempo label (which reissues and remixes Italian soundtracks of the 60s and 70s). Successes include remixes of compositions by some of the greatest Italian masters of film music such as Piero Umiliani, Armando Trovajoli, Piero Piccioni and Lesiman (Motore a Ioni, Mah Nà Mah Nà, Lady Magnolia, all composed by Umiliani, Masquerade by Trovajoli). In these projects he has worked alongside the likes of Rainer Truby, Kid Loco, DJ Vadim, Cinematic Orchestra, Raphael Sebbag (UFO), Beanfield and Galliano (Underhead). In 1999 Gak Sato released a new single featuring Hip Wagging-Foot Shuffling remixed by Amin Tobin (Ninja Tune) along with a version of the great Metti una sera a cena by Ennio Morricone performed together with Alessandro Alessandroni on vocals. In 2001 Gak released his second album TANGRAM (Temposphere). On this record he makes less use of samples, getting some of the best Italian jazz musicians involved in compositions that blend the techniques of contemporary production with the talent of great improvisers. The title track Tangram has been issued in a remix by the producer Yukihiro Fukutomi and features the trumpet artistry of Nargo (from Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra). The track Green City is Gak’s version of a song by Lounge Lizards co-founder Steve Piccolo, with guest vocals by Piccolo himself. This track has been featured on many compilations in the US and Europe. Gak Sato’s live performances include the Tangram Tour with Steve Piccolo and Pepe Ragonese joining him in a live trio with video (2002 in Portugal, London, Monte Carlo, Italy) and evenings together with turntable masters like Gilles Peterson, Rainer Trüby, Pizzicato Five, Kid Loco and many others. He also performs in Steve Piccolo’s Expedition concerts on programming, keyboards, theremin and percussion, and is co-producer of the new Expedition CD. He has worked with Steve Piccolo on sound art installations in collaboration with leading visual artists and photographers. Since 2002 he is professor of Techniques of Sound in Art at the Accademia Carrara fine arts academy of Bergamo. He is participating in the John Cage tribute “A Year from Cage”, a one-year series of events and performances organized by MMT and Auditorium. Recent collaborations include projects in New York and France, gallery performances, radio shows.

First at Mac dowell Colony, then at Yaddo Colony and last at the Headlands center. The reflective look over an entire oeuvre became a mechanism that accelerated. At first it consisted of the Cageian gloss of playing entire works with other works, either simoultaneously on top of each other or sequentially in parts or sections. Then with digital network musics and the home computer came the text-radio works, creating new sound designs, playing them with old often ambient analog tape works. Finally the process became quite complex using simulation and photo-real aural sound soundscape in creating sonic atmospheres and doubles of all kinds. This De Chirico-like aping of former material has became quite developed and culminates in the Wave Fugue. [post_title] => Chamber LOST2 for Christian Boltanski - Rayne Chase [post_excerpt] => Rocco Di Pietro was born in Buffalo, New York in 1949. He studied composition and piano with Hans Hagen and Lukas Foss in Buffalo and at the Berkshire Music Center, Tanglewood. He studied in New York and Darmstadt with Bruno Maderna and was a freelance composer for twenty years before earning degrees from SUNY Buffalo and Vermont College. He became an interdisciplinary adjunct professor teaching in prisons and on many college campuses throughout New York, Ohio, and California. He toured California prisons as artist-in-residence and conducted four years of interviews in Chicago with Pierre Boulez. The resulting book, DIALOGUES WITH BOULEZ, was recently published by Scarecrow Press. He composed Prison Dirges I for the Kronos String Quartet. Di Pietro's music has been performed by many musicians in venues throughout the world. These include: Christiane Edinger, Christobal Halffter, Lukas Foss, Julius Eastman, Bruno Maderna, Frances Marie Uitti, Yvar Mikhasoff, Jan Williams, Anthony Miranda, Gunther Schuller, Dennis Russell Davies, the Buffalo Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra, The Brooklyn Philharmonic, the Bavarian Radio Orchestra, Pro Musica Chamber Orchestra, CETA Orchestra, Ojai Ensemble Sonor, St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, Columbus Wind Orchestra, Earlham String Orchestra, the Avant Collective, and the Madd Lab Orchestra. Venues include: The Kitchen, La Mama, Bang On A Can Festival, in New York, Contemporary Music Society of Seoul, South Korea and American Academy in Rome among others. Recent performances of LOST have been featured at Dartmouth College and Stanford University. Recently, his work has developed on several fronts. Sound text radio works have developed simultaneously with his teaching at Columbus State College of electronic music and other courses in the Humanities. These works have been broadcast on radio stations in Seattle, Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, New York and in Europe, in Naples, Rome, Vienna, Prague, Budapest etc. [post_status] => publish [comment_status] => closed [ping_status] => open [post_password] => [post_name] => chamber-lost2-for-christian-boltanski-rayne-chase [to_ping] => [pinged] => [post_modified] => 2015-01-09 17:03:12 [post_modified_gmt] => 2015-01-09 16:03:12 [post_content_filtered] => [post_parent] => 0 [guid] => http://orangepixel.it/zerynthia/?post_type=sounds&p=6430 [menu_order] => 0 [post_type] => sounds [post_mime_type] => [comment_count] => 0 [filter] => raw [old_id] => 419 [post_it] => 10 ) [4] => WP_Post Object ( [ID] => 6462 [post_author] => 1 [post_date] => 2014-08-22 10:38:39 [post_date_gmt] => 2014-08-22 08:38:39 [post_content] => [post_title] => Three Days Under The Ground [post_excerpt] => [post_status] => publish [comment_status] => closed [ping_status] => open [post_password] => [post_name] => three-days-under-the-ground [to_ping] => [pinged] => [post_modified] => 2015-01-09 17:03:15 [post_modified_gmt] => 2015-01-09 16:03:15 [post_content_filtered] => [post_parent] => 0 [guid] => http://orangepixel.it/zerynthia/?post_type=sounds&p=6462 [menu_order] => 0 [post_type] => sounds [post_mime_type] => [comment_count] => 0 [filter] => raw [old_id] => 451 [post_it] => 10 ) [5] => WP_Post Object ( [ID] => 6495 [post_author] => 1 [post_date] => 2014-08-22 10:38:39 [post_date_gmt] => 2014-08-22 08:38:39 [post_content] => [post_title] => grey energy [post_excerpt] => [post_status] => publish [comment_status] => closed [ping_status] => open [post_password] => [post_name] => grey-energy [to_ping] => [pinged] => [post_modified] => 2015-01-09 17:03:18 [post_modified_gmt] => 2015-01-09 16:03:18 [post_content_filtered] => [post_parent] => 0 [guid] => http://orangepixel.it/zerynthia/?post_type=sounds&p=6495 [menu_order] => 0 [post_type] => sounds [post_mime_type] => [comment_count] => 0 [filter] => raw [old_id] => 484 [post_it] => 10 ) [6] => WP_Post Object ( [ID] => 6527 [post_author] => 1 [post_date] => 2014-08-22 10:38:39 [post_date_gmt] => 2014-08-22 08:38:39 [post_content] => [post_title] => Untitled [post_excerpt] => Pauline Oliveros, composer, performer, author and philosopher has influenced American music extensively through her works with improvisation, electronic music, teaching, myth, ritual and meditation. Her recent commissions include Ghost Dance in collaboration with Boston-based choreographer Paula Josa Jones and commissioned by Lincoln Center 1995, music for the Mabou Mines production of Lear, and Contenders for the Susan Marshall Dance Co. (Bessie Award for the music from Dance Theater Workshop in 1991). She has performed at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC, New Music America Festivals, and in countless concert halls and performance spaces worldwide. Oliveros received a $25,000 award for her work in 1995 from the Foundation for Contemporary Performance - New York City. In 1985 she founded The Pauline Oliveros Foundation, Inc., to support all aspects of the creative process for a worldwide community of artists. The foundation, under her direction (along with Co-Artistic Director and playwright Ione) most recently produced a music theater work, Njinga the Queen King, with Pauline's original music and sound. Njinga had its premiere at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in December, 1993. The Foundation is now celebrating its tenth year with a series of concerts and readings in Kingston, NY. From her early years as the first Director of the Tape Music Center at Mills College to her fourteen year term as Professor of Music at the University of California of San Diego, and from Sonic Meditations to Deep Listening, her compositions, performances and innovations have already established her place in music history. This double CD-set is the companion to the final book reporting on the activities of Het Apollohuis. The recordings on these CDs give an idea of the music and the sound art presented in concerts at Het Apollohuis in the priod from 1980 through 1997. Out of a total of 500 performances I chose 38, from which exceprts of varying lenght have been included in this anthiology. These have been arranged in chronological order. The diversity of the selected pieces is characteristic of the programme of Het Apollohuis. Only limited number of composers and musicians who performed can be heard in brief fragments o these discs. Consequently a considerable number has been excluded. There simply was no way to include them all (this selection does not imply we value one above the other). The choice of the particular musicians has been my responsability (P: Panhuysen). liner notes: René van Peer sound selection: René Adriaans mastering: Frank Donkersgoed design: Tom Homburg, Marcel d'Anjou (Opera) [post_status] => publish [comment_status] => closed [ping_status] => open [post_password] => [post_name] => untitled-20 [to_ping] => [pinged] => [post_modified] => 2015-01-09 17:03:20 [post_modified_gmt] => 2015-01-09 16:03:20 [post_content_filtered] => [post_parent] => 0 [guid] => http://orangepixel.it/zerynthia/?post_type=sounds&p=6527 [menu_order] => 0 [post_type] => sounds [post_mime_type] => [comment_count] => 0 [filter] => raw [old_id] => 516 [post_it] => 10 ) [7] => WP_Post Object ( [ID] => 6559 [post_author] => 1 [post_date] => 2014-08-22 10:38:39 [post_date_gmt] => 2014-08-22 08:38:39 [post_content] => All music composed by Alvin Curran, produced by Alvin Curran, executive producer John Zorn associate producer Kazunori Sugiyama mastered by Scott Hull at Hit Factory Mastering, NYC This CD is a compilation of first time releases including selected fragments of orchestral, choral, solo keyboard, electronic and installation works created beetween 1987-2003. I am known for this, that and the other-other, but behind my attempts to transform the earth's entire landscape into a concert hall, there is and always has been a steadfast composer of notes and bening anarchy. Lost Marbles is both an insider's guide and a crash-course intro to my music-music created mostly in prominent experimental back rooms for single occasions and never heard from again. So I decided do make my own musical sapler including fragments of significant musical events from the middle '80s to the present whichI felt would make coincise but essential exposé if not a self-portrait, bringing myself and my public up to date with musics that toured briefly with world-class dance companies or theater groups, or resided in complex and expensive installation that lasted the length of a festival. True, most of these pieces had durations spanning aminimum of thirty minutes to over five hours, but here the chosen snippets arepresented as the antipasti and the main course all in one. Excepting four electronic and improvised pieces, all the music is conventionally written on paper with pen and ink - Alvin Curran (Rome, January 15, 2004). [post_title] => Music is not Music [post_excerpt] => Democratic, irreverent and traditionally experimental, Curran travels in a computerized covered wagon between the Golden Gate and the Tiber River, and makes music for every occasion with any sounding phenomena -- a volatile mix of lyricism and chaos, structure and indeterminacy, fog horns, fiddles and fiddle heads. He is dedicated to the restoration of dignity to the profession of making non-commercial music as part of a personal search for future social, political and spiritual forms. Curran's music-making embraces all the contradictions (composed/improvised, tonal/atonal, maximal/minimal...) in a serene dialectical encounter. His more than 100 works feature taped/sampled natural sounds, piano, synthesizers, computers, violin, percussion, shofar, ship horns, accordion and chorus. Whether in the intimate form of his well-known solo performances, or pure chamber music, experimental radio works or large-scale site-specific sound environments and installations, all forge a very personal language from all the languages through dedicated research and recombinant invention. THE MAIN STORY With a fortuitous bang, he begins his musical journey (1965 in Rome) as co-founder of the radical music collective MUSICA ELETTRONICA VIVA, as a solo performer, and as a composer for Rome's avantgarde theater scene. In the 70's, he creates a poetic series of solo works for synthesizer, voice, taped sounds and found objects. Seeking to develop new musical spaces, and now considered one of the leading figures in making music outside of the concert halls -- he develops a series of concerts for lakes, ports, parks, buildings, quarries and caves -- his natural laboratories. In the 1980's, he extends the ideas of musical geography by creating simultaneous radio concerts for three, then six large ensembles performing together from many European Capitals. By connecting digital samplers to MIDI Grands (Diskklavier) and computers, since 1987, he produces an enriched body of work -- an ideal synthesis between the concert hall and all sounding phenomena in the world. In 1990, he begins a visually striking series of sound installations, in collaboration with Melissa Gould. Throughout these years he continues to write a significant amount of music for acoustic instruments. TEACHING From 1975-80 taught vocal improvisation at the Accademia Nazionale d'Arte Drammatica (Rome) and since 1991 has been the Milhaud Professor of Composition at Mills College in Oakland, California.

Arch. 158.a.1,2,4; 183.59; 186.a Robin Rimbaud nelle vesti del ‘soundbuster’, Scanner e Paul Farrington in quelle di Tonne [post_title] => Montreal Mix [post_excerpt] => Scanner - British artist Robin Rimbaud - traverses the experimental terrain between sound, space, image and form, creating absorbing, multi-layered sound pieces that twist technology in unconventional ways . From his early controversial work using found mobile phone conversations, through to his focus on trawling the hidden noise of the modern metropolis as the symbol of the place where hidden meanings and missed contacts emerge, his restless explorations of the experimental terrain have won him international admiration from amongst others, Bjork, Aphex Twin and Stockhausen. Scanner is committed to working with cutting edge practitioners and has collaborated with artists from every imaginable genre: musicians Bryan Ferry and Laurie Anderson, The Royal Ballet and Random Dance companies, composers Michael Nyman and Luc Ferrari, and artists Mike Kelley and Derek Jarman. As well as producing compositions and audio CDs, his diverse body of work includes soundtracks for films, performances, radio, and site-specific intermedia installations. He has performed and created works in many of the world's most prestigious spaces including SFMOMA USA, Hayward Gallery London, Pompidou Centre Paris, Kunsthalle Vienna, Bolshoi Theatre Moscow, Tate Modern London and the Royal Opera House London. Paul Farrington, AKA TONNE This prize-winning visual artist and designer has made visible the work of Scanner, Pole and Spring Heel Jack among others, linking sound with visuals that vary between elegantly simple lines to multiple layers of superimposed imagery. Tonne's interactive sound interfaces allow music to be produced as responses to the movement of graphics, and vice-versa. By manipulating sound utilities, Tonne builds toys, games, interactive environments and soundbanks. Developing and producing controlled systems for sound and image interaction, Tonne has performed live at Sonar (Barcelona 2000), FCMN (Montréal), Expanded Cinema (Milan), Lovebytes (Sheffield), and Steim (Amsterdam). Tonne was awarded Creative Review's Creative Futures Up-And-Coming Graphic Designer of 1999. Recently Tonne has been commissioned by the music label Meta to release recordings of his sound toys.

At an early age, he became interested in the worlds of both music and visual art. He developed his primary medium, collage, via pieces which combined found photographs with his own drawings, and prerecorded LPs with loops and live instruments. In the 1990s, Novak performed and exhibited his work throughout the vibrant Madison café art scene. In 2000, Novak moved to Seattle and refined his methods, trading in turntables and vinyl records for a Mini Disc recorder and a laptop, in order to achieve a more in-depth style of production. Novak has released set of 5 limited edition 3-inch CDs “Three Inches for Friends”. In addition, he has produced two film soundtracks, for “Leaning” (which he also produced), and “Neptune” (produced by Brian Murphy). Both movies premiered at the Seattle Lesbian and Gay Film Festival, in 2003 and 2004, respectively. He was recently included on the compilation “People Doing Strange Things With Electricity” curated by Dorkbot-sea and released by Comfort Stand Records, and was Commissioned by the Crispen Spaeth Dance Group to score there full length piece “Fade”. Novak’s work has withstood a series of changes in method while always retaining and refining the strengths of his unique aesthetic, exploring the overlap and intersection between presence and absence, art and design, sound and music.

School and college in New York (Bard College, New York University). Now lives in Milan, Italy. After studies in New York (Roswell Rudd, Charlie Haden) he began his professional career in the early 1970s playing standup bass in jazz groups. Toward the end of the Seventies he founded, together with John and Evan Lurie, Arto Lindsay and Tony Fier, the group The Lounge Lizards. For five years or so the group performed all over the world, including international festivals and important venues. Their first LP (now CD, Virgin), published in 1981, continues to sell quite a few copies each year. In parallel with his activity as a jazz instrumentalist, Steve worked in the world of pop music, writing songs and lyrics. After having published two LPs under his name (Domestic Exile, Adaptation) in the early eighties (US, France, Italy, still available in Italy from Materiali Sonori) he began working with songwriters and producers on an international level. He began to spend more time in Italy, working with producers like Giancarlo Bigazzi, Caterina Caselli, the La Bionda brothers, Claudio Fabi, Toto Savio. He wrote songs for artists like Raf, I Righiera, Umberto Tozzi, Alberto Fortis and many others. The song “Self Control” written by Bigazzi-Riefoli-Piccolo (1984) with lyrics by Steve sold many millions of copies, reaching number one on charts all over the world. During the second half of the eighties he lived almost exclusively in New York, writing songs and music for theater. His favorite production from the time was “Ambition” by the company “Love Theater” (Peter Halasc, ex Squat Theater, the company with which Steve worked in the early 1980s), seen at the La Mama theater in New York. In the 1990s he moved to Milan and published two CDs with the collaboration of Italian and American musicians: “Hilarity Workshop” (Underground Records, Bologna, 1997) and “Bitter Pill”(Cox 18 Music, Milan, 1999-2000). His songs were included in compilations published by Sony and EMI, and a number of compilations in the United States). Starting in 1995 he returned to frequent live concert activity, playing festivals and theaters in Italy and around Europe with different line-ups, including Italian musicians (jazzmen Giancarlo Locatelli and Filippo Monico), members of new ‘rock’ groups (Massimo Volume, Afterhours, Rosso Maltese) and renowned artists from New York (Elliott Sharp, Zeena Parkins). For the record company Mescal (dist. Polygram) he produced the CD “Da Qui” by the group “Massimo Volume”. Work with the group continued in 2001 with a concert tour in which Steve also performed on voice, bass and rhodes. Since 1999-2000 his research has focused on the major project The Expedition, a narrative-musical work with many different parts, specifically developed for each city or venue in which it is performed, using the sounds of that city. In the early versions there were as many as 12 musicians on stage, theater sets were utilized, but without video images. After the debut at CS Leoncavallo in Milan and the version prepared for the festival Brescia MusicArte (both in 1999), the show was broken down into modules for separate development. Live work continued in duo with Luca Gemma with “The Secret Diaries of Bruce Chatwin”, at the festival Frontiere in Milan in 1999. This show was later seen in festivals in Pisa and Livorno in summer 2000. DJ-composer Gak Sato (from Tokyo) joined the project in 2000, in the show “Songs about Danger”. For the first time video images were introduced in the concerts, by Armin Linke. This piece was presented at the festival Frontiere in Milan in 2000, and developed at CS Cox 18 Milan a few months later. The project then evolved into a new Expedition. The first results were heard in “Getting Ready for the Expedition” in Venice, for the concert series Off Risonanze, and in Catania at Mercati Generali. Two of the pieces developed for this show became part of the CD by Gak Sato, “Tangram”, published in 2001 by Temposphere Records. From 21 March (premiere at Radio Popolare in Milan) to 15 July 2001 the new version “Expedition/Dérive” was performed in museums, cultural centers and festivals (Milan, Sesto San Giovanni, Catania, Mestre, other cities). In summer 2001 the urban sounds archive assembled by Sato and Piccolo began to produce many new compositions. New videos were also added, working in collaboration with the visual artist Luca Pancrazzi. The work was presented in the context of the MilanoFilmFestival at Piccolo Teatro Studio in Milan, 22 Sept 2001, under the title “Effetto cinema: musica alla deriva”. The collaboration with Elliott Sharp has continued for many years now, including a performance at Teatro Fondamenta Nuova in Venice 26 November 2001, in a duo entitled “Songs from the Frozen Zone”. After a positive experience at the Milan Polytechnic in the summer of 2001, in which the students recorded the sounds of the city to construct a performance and an urban sound map, Piccolo-Sato-Gemma with special guest Elliott Sharp did a concert and workshop at the IUAV architecture institute in Venice on 30 November 2001. The concert “Expedition/Dérive” was included in the series “Suoni e Visioni” in Milan, 11 March 2002 at Teatro di Portaromana, in a complete version with set design, special guest Elliott Sharp and new videos by Janene Higgins, Armin Linke-Paola Di Bello and Luca Pancrazzi. Steve performed on guitar, bass and vocals in the tour for the CD Tangram by Gak Sato in 2001-2. Steve Piccolo and Gak Sato also work in the field of “sound art”, creating installations for galleries and museums. They collaborate with visual artists to realize the sound portions of more complex works. In 2002 the song Green City by Steve, arranged by Gak Sato, was published in over 250,000 copies of compilations in the US, England and Italy. Expedition/Dérive was also performed in the Central Station in Milan, 28 May 2002 (see press release in Italian). Steve and Gak prepared a sound installation and concert for the MilanoFilmFestival 2002, recording and processing the sounds of the square in front of the Piccolo Teatro (22 Sept 2002). Steve participated in the project of Auditorium Records and MMT “A Year for Cage”, a one-year series of initiatives on John Cage, with the first concert at Teatro OutOff in Milan 27 Sept 2002, later at Radio Popolare. This project has evolved into the group Full Metal Cage Collective. Steve co-wrote and sang the title track “Spontaneous” for the recent CD by DJ-composer Painé, for Temposphere Records Spring 2003. In May 2003 Spontaneous was in the German Top 30 club charts. Steve collaborates with the radio program Remix on Rai 3, by Istituto Barlumen. With the group DE-ABC (Steve Piccolo, Gak Sato, Luca Pancrazzi), design of an urban installation, seen in the Urban Furnishings Fair of Esterni and the Isola Art Project show, both in Milan (April 2003). Steve and Gak have composed, performed and recorded many soundtracks for films and videos, including recent projects (2003) with Gabriele Di Matteo and a video on the history of the Compasso d’Oro design award for ADI. The latest video sound works have been for Adrian Paci, Ivo Bonacorsi and A Constructed World. Participation in the Isola Art Project, an initiative of a group of artists and critics to save an abandoned factory surrounded by two parks in a cool neighborhood in Milan and make it into a contemporary art center, instead of the shopping center fashion promo speculation planned by the city. Steve and Gak have recorded a one-hour program for WPS1 Art Radio (NY), entitled "Expedition". Steve and Gak are back again on the faculty for 2004-5 (their third year) at Accademia Carrara of Bergamo, teaching a course on "sound design". Steve will also teach the Sound section of the university course on "new techniques of art". GAK SATO was born in Tokyo in 1969. In 1994 he created the band Diet Music in Tokyo. In 1999 he became Artistic Director of TEMPOSPHERE, the contemporary music label of Right Tempo Records in Milan. His debut album POST-ECHO (Temposphere, 1999) immediately led to contacts with other producers such as Amon Tobin, Kid Loco and United Future Organization for artistic collaborations. Gak has participated on various remix projects (Easy Tempo Experience) with the Easy Tempo label (which reissues and remixes Italian soundtracks of the 60s and 70s). Successes include remixes of compositions by some of the greatest Italian masters of film music such as Piero Umiliani, Armando Trovajoli, Piero Piccioni and Lesiman (Motore a Ioni, Mah Nà Mah Nà, Lady Magnolia, all composed by Umiliani, Masquerade by Trovajoli). In these projects he has worked alongside the likes of Rainer Truby, Kid Loco, DJ Vadim, Cinematic Orchestra, Raphael Sebbag (UFO), Beanfield and Galliano (Underhead). In 1999 Gak Sato released a new single featuring Hip Wagging-Foot Shuffling remixed by Amin Tobin (Ninja Tune) along with a version of the great Metti una sera a cena by Ennio Morricone performed together with Alessandro Alessandroni on vocals. In 2001 Gak released his second album TANGRAM (Temposphere). On this record he makes less use of samples, getting some of the best Italian jazz musicians involved in compositions that blend the techniques of contemporary production with the talent of great improvisers. The title track Tangram has been issued in a remix by the producer Yukihiro Fukutomi and features the trumpet artistry of Nargo (from Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra). The track Green City is Gak’s version of a song by Lounge Lizards co-founder Steve Piccolo, with guest vocals by Piccolo himself. This track has been featured on many compilations in the US and Europe. Gak Sato’s live performances include the Tangram Tour with Steve Piccolo and Pepe Ragonese joining him in a live trio with video (2002 in Portugal, London, Monte Carlo, Italy) and evenings together with turntable masters like Gilles Peterson, Rainer Trüby, Pizzicato Five, Kid Loco and many others. He also performs in Steve Piccolo’s Expedition concerts on programming, keyboards, theremin and percussion, and is co-producer of the new Expedition CD. He has worked with Steve Piccolo on sound art installations in collaboration with leading visual artists and photographers. Since 2002 he is professor of Techniques of Sound in Art at the Accademia Carrara fine arts academy of Bergamo. He is participating in the John Cage tribute “A Year from Cage”, a one-year series of events and performances organized by MMT and Auditorium. Recent collaborations include projects in New York and France, gallery performances, radio shows.
