🔊Current Shapes w/ Andrius Arutiunian, Rosso Polare / Giovedì 11 Luglio - 22:00 / Sperimentazione elettronica a Palazzo Chigi Saracini.

Sul palco Andrius Arutiunian, artista armeno, presenterà una performance molto suggestiva. “Kayīb”, il nome del pezzo, integra suoni prodotti da strumenti elettronici con vibrazioni emesse da trasduttori applicati sulla superficie di sette dischi di ottone. Ad aprire il concerto sarà il duo milanese Rosso Polare, una delle formazioni più interessanti al momento nel panorama sperimentale italiano (e non).

Concerto prodotto da SOW in collaborazione con Accademia Chigiana, Radioarte e Santa Chiara Lab.

FRIDAY 17-19 📆 Some in-store action at prior to the first Dusty Cabinets of the year on Saturday. with a live taster of his show on Saturday + cool beers and friendly faces.

A long list of names have performed on this system including Jah Shaka, Mala, Kevin Richard Martin, Miss Red and many more. While the list of bass advocates who’ve played on the Krackfree is long and impressive, we have a lot of respect for the long-standing dedication of this Eindhoven crew towards the artisanal sound system culture. Throughout our happy collaboration with last year we’ve come to realise the amount of hours and physical endurance needed to run such thing. While one may see a system built and pumping, it is easy to forget this is a tuff labour of love, nothing else. We’re humbled and proud to be able to work with such dedicated sound disciples and cannot wait to present to you the .soundsystem in full power very soon.

📣Dusty Cabinets returns on February 17th!

While the ingredients remain the same, 2024 will see a new era in Dusty Cabinets’ sonic research, with the new addition of the .soundsystem crew bringing the sound and its mighty pressure. Rising from Eindhoven, this team of dedicated artisans of bass are committed to pushing the self-built soundsystem culture forward. In their words, what they and their system do is “hard to explain, better experienced”.

The first episode of the 2024 series will present with a steppers live show, and DJ sets by and , who recently visited the Chianti hills as guest DJs of SOW’s very own musical retreat, . SOW’s resident will be warming-up the floor for a night with plenty of heat.

Current Shapes is a concert series produced by SOW in collaboration with the . This year marks the 5th edition of this concert, which is part of the Accademia Chigiana's International Summer Festival programme. Throughout the years Current Shapes has showcased works by music and sound researchers such as Maria W Horn, Kassel Jaeger, Lucy Railton, Giulio Aldinucci, Thomas Ankersmit, Alessandra Novaga, Emanuele Giannini, Pisano e Palmentiero, the HCM label crew.

This year's Current Shapes, on Sept. 1st in the suggestive courtyard of Palazzo Chigi Saracini, will present Jessica Ekomane () and Laura Agnusdei with Daniele Fabris ( / .fabris)

Jessica Ekomane will present an exclusive live show in line with her artistic research presented, among others, in the acclaimed debut album released for the prestigious American label . The psychoacoustic qualities of her performances, the rhythmic structures in gradual change, and the interchange between noise and melody are at the core of this show which aims to present the mass of sound as a factor of transformation both on a spatial level, and on a perceptive one.

The Italian duo composed by saxophonist Laura Agnusdei and Daniele Fabris will open the concert. As a duo, Agnusdei and Fabris focus the compositional method on the reworking of the sound of the saxophone, using digital devices encoded by Fabris himself to shape, sculpt and orchestrate ethereal sounds. Combining the emotional power of melody together with soundscapes, these pieces strike a balance between gesture and abstraction, density and rarefaction.

Current Shapes is produced and curated by SOW, in collaboration with , .it and Inner Room Siena.

A special thanks goes to the cultural dissemination center Santa Chiara Lab - University of Siena () for having offered their patronage and for their precious contribution.
