Tirriddiliu

Van Alebeek

ragusa is a very beautiful baroque town in the south of sicily.

tourists come to visit the architectural splendors such as the cathedral of st george - the duomo, but often find it difficult to find the way, since the old town is full of narrow winding streets.

the front door of the house where our recording sessions were held is often open to have some cool breeze, tourists passing stick their nose inside and ask where they can find the duomo.

one august morning we decided to help them and put up some signs, in the wrong direction of course, leading pass the courtyard where we held our illegal concert using traditional instruments, voice, loop station, various kinds of feedback, and tapes with field recordings and non definable recordings.

this concert and the documentation of it is part of our new cd that will also include more sounds short movies, pictures, writings and information on how to install your own web radio

Anche tu nella tua città!

Organizza anche tu nella tua città un concertino clandestino. Coinvolgi i turisti, gli operai o gli impiegati.

L'8 agosto 2005 a Ibla (RG), c'era bordello, tanti stranieri e visitatori; tutti ci chiedevano informazioni sul Duomo e noi le abbiamo affisse.
