Tip! A musician expresses himself with sound; it seems a triviality, but any thought or idea launched takes shape and can be heard, can be listened to. Thus in a spontaneous way, one after another, particles can end up coming together bearing fruit, creating environments and scenarios, evolving. In this case, Maurizio Abate decides to paint short sound pictures, which become real pieces. These pieces are submitted to the listening of friends, who by free associations name them following their own feelings. Free juxtapositions for notes that seem light and slight but carry within them a cadenced elegance and intensity. Seeds that in a short period create sprouts, giving a different structure to the soils in which they are placed, Semi Mondi.
The quotation from Alfred de Musset refers to a historical period and situations, including physical and housing situations, that forced Mauritius to a different path in order to move freely.
15-plus years after his debut Maurizio Abate continues to move, leaving sound traces behind him, traces that at a first glance might seem to be a continuous wandering. Traces that, at a closer look, outline a well-defined path, on a musical ridge. On this path are Marco Milanesio on sound, Alessandro Ligato on photography, Tiberio Faedi on image.
