THE MOVING TOWN
“Orio al Serio” International Airport (Bergamo – Italy), like a…moving town where passengers “coexist” with space and time in an unusual awareness of living an in-between moment linking the present and the future! The sound is the element used to create this work. Sounds, produced by aircrafts, transporting luggage machinery, airport vehicles, or passengers mobile phones (waiting for their flights) …become the “engine” of a music soundtrack composed by Alberto Nacci.
The base soundtrack, which is further adorned by the Senegalese percussionist, Dudu Kwatech., represents the whole soundwave which Nacci’s instrument plays over. The alto sax “sings” to portray soft melodic lines which only in the final movement express in order to… give free rein to an idea: the idea of a moving reality following the needs, the desires, the expectations and …the dreams of people who are about to reach a new far off destination. They will be greeted there by another … moving town.
