2020-12-12T07:47:00.315Z
The Maker Faire Rome - European Edition 2020, a show of innovations and creativity, for the first time in a virtual version, brings music to the attention of enthusiasts and professionals, with Maker Music. Until December 13, Maker Music, directed by Andrea Lai and Alex Braga, hosts a roundup of great musicians from pop, rock, metal, rap, trap, electronics, all together in a single big event, with no genre limit, poetics and sound. TLON, Max Casacci, Samuel, Boosta, Arisa, Boss Doms, Frankie Hi NRG, Coccoluto, Piotta, Riccardo Sinigallia, Andrea De Sica, Paola Maugeri, Clementino, Samuele Bersani, ENSI, Cristina Scabbia, Noyz Narcos, Francesca Michielin, Danno ( Colle del Fomento), Vasco Brondi, Mace, Stefano Fontana, Saturnino, Cosmo, meet in a sort of general state of music, in an unprecedented event, a 3-day long virtual relay, to talk and tell, plan, reflect and reveal the behind the scenes of their work, in a year that allowed us, through new technologies, to enter their homes, their studios, their creative moments. 2020 made us discover that we can make music at home and that a balcony can become a stage. We have seen how difficult it is to be without music and how many professions are behind every singer, record or concert. We understood that music is made together with many and that technology can turn concerts into a new experience. Maker Music tells all of this. It tells about the making of music in a complicated yet stimulating period. Through the words and sounds of those who make the, Maker Faire Rome The European Edition, in its Maker Music section, tells the present of music, the intangible art that belongs to all of us. Through talks, workshops and sessions in the recording studio, Maker Music tells the process of creating music, from the idea to the live performance. Artists, professionals and thinkers guide us to discover how music is made and what music can do. From the increasingly complex writing of words, to new forms of use of music, from TV series to gaming to smart speakers. How does a record producer manipulate the sound? How does a singer find the exact words that millions of people find themselves in? How will the ritual of the concert change and how does the writing of the music change while the way we listen to it changes? Is there a sustainable music? Is artificial intelligence capable of writing pop hits? How is a sound born in the studio? During a series of talks organized in collaboration with Tlon and moderated by Andrea Colamedici and Maura Gancitano, we reflect on the value and needs of music in a critical time, from an artistic, technological and social perspective. Samuel (Subsonica), for example, talks about the ability of music to give the sense of things. Riccardo Sinigallia and the director of Baby, Andrea De Sica, are side by side, like music and cinema. Paola Maugeri and Cristina Scabbia (voice of Lacuna Coil) talk about the power of communities that often know how to trigger changes in people. Vasco Brondi (Lights of the Power Plant) and Francesca Michielin reflect on the cathartic power of the rite of live music now that there is no music. And since music must be “listened to” before being explained, Maker Music also offers an important artistic showcase: “from Joe T. Vannelli's Faktory Studio in Milan, here's how to write a hit. The reference producers of the new Italian scene tell us about it, able to capture the air that pulls and transform it with their style into gold record music: Boss Doms, Mace, Fritz Da Cat, Stefano Fontana accompanied by Saturnino unveil their tricks, they share secrets by telling the making of their music. An inside look at the world of those who fill Spotify's charts with hits that become the soundtrack of a generation. The first concert for Piano, Artificial Intelligence, Humans and Networks will close at 8.30 pm on 13 December: * remote duet *. A unique experience in which one of the best known and award-winning author of soundtracks, Paolo Buonvino, and Alex Braga will try their hand at the first remote performance with zero latency. In two distinct locations, miles away, the two musicians will duet live in real time thanks to artificial intelligence. (source: press office)
