Gianluca Becuzzi – mana (2cd)

Gianluca Becuzzi is an italian electronic / electroacoustic composer and sound artist active since the first half of the 80’s. Since 1999, his artistic production is characterised by a strong experimental imprint and by a clear aesthetic inclination towards abstract forms and micro / macro noises / sounds.
"In anthropology, the concept of mana identifies a supernatural impersonal power. It manifests itself through men as power or superiority, bestowed upon them by spirits. Sound is the musician's magic gesture. Through the choice and development of a language, the artist shapes the step of his entry into that mysterious realm. In this work, the search for a maximalist and minimalist form at the same time allowed me to make experience of two coexisting conditions of art: presence and absence. Affirmation and denial. Power and lightness. The ostentation and the subtraction. These are the two ways of the artist today: the awareness of being there, the will to deny oneself to unacceptable reality. Living in two worlds, evoking the plus-real through music, is an ethical and aesthetic rebellion that draws on an inscrutable and sacred strength. Music is my mana. Art is our hope".
