CLAUDIA FERRETTI [ITALY]
Concrete sounds and voice come together to narrate the emergency of climatic irreversible changement.
Music by Claudia Ferretti
I forgive you: Nature tells man with a sign of hope.
Point Of No Return is a soundart work created in 2019, before the pandemic showed us more clearly the effects of human activities on the ecosystem.
WE CAN LISTEN TO THE WORLD TO MAKE IT A BETTER PLACE
The sound, both intangible and abstract, is evidence of the world as well as of matter that can be shaped.
The sound becomes a link between hope and reality and a concrete experience for understanding climate change.
Point of no return is a journey through concrete sounds that unravel from today, the point of no-return for climate change, and move backwords to the origin of man and universe.
It is a journey from the outside world to the inner self and to the origin of life itself.
By using psychoacoustics phenomenon, sounds seem to follow a narrative path. In reality, everything exists from the beginning. If we slowly subtract the concrete sounds of everyday life one by one, we are left with what John Cage heard in the anechoic chamber: the low sound of the blood system and the high sound of the nervous system. Ourselves, nature.
Transformation starts from silence, from listening.
