For ART BRUXELLES we will present in cooperation with Whatspace and les atelier claus a live program in which several particular boxsets of records will play a keyrole. One of these works is “SEZIONE AUREA” 1971/2000/2014 by DAVIDE MOSCONI 

The work was born of an old desire of Mosconi: make a music which will be always different at each playing, however without altering its constituent elements. Other works based on the same premise are “La musica del Paradiso” for the tower in the park in Hiroshima, and “Opera Rotta” for the Teatro alla Scala.

It was conceived at her birth in 1971 and completed in 2000 thanks to the solicitations of Gabriele Bonomo and the good will of the Milanese record producer Emanuele Carcano. Mosconi died in 2004 and now finally Carcano and Bonomo managed to realise the first part of the work; "Rythmic Section"

The first section of “Sezione Aurea” with the title “Rhythmic Section” makes use of at least three turntables and monophonic amplifiers where the loudspeakers are placed in semicircle around the listeners. The discs themselves are mute (in the sense of having no recorded sound) but with lines traced on their surfaces by means of various pointed objects thus producing a variety of sounds. These signs are different for each face of the three records and generate a “rhythmic cage” with eight combinatorial possibilities never the same, just because it will never be possible to start the records in the same way.

This work is dedicated to Mosconi his daughter Tantra.
