🔈/🎧 is a series of small audio/video works conceived to be viewed and listened to on smartphones.
The series is focused on exploring the limitations of audio reproduction through mobile devices to create a stratified listening experience. 
Field recording and electronic sound interventions will change, disappear or disclose to the listener alternating headphones with the integrated speakers, depending on the audio specifications and sound quality of the device.

All the contents will be uploaded in the reel section of the Field Studies Instagram profile.

Cais Das Pombas is the first of a series of site, time and weather specific pieces.
The piece was inspired by and composed to interact with the sound activity of the river Tejo and the architecture of a specific spot of Cais do Sodré (Lisboa), during the hours of high tide, and it presents itself as a kit containing 3 portable speakers and an instruction sheet with basic movement/posture/listening proposals; the piece can be listened individually or in small groups.

Workshops are organized as open activities, participants are invited to follow written instructions for simple listening exercises, focused on acoustic exploration of space, relationship between environmental sound and recorded sound, aural perception and imagination, listening and movement, listening through recording/playback technology. Workshops take place open air, using battery portable audio devices.

Live sets are multi-channel sound diffusions of field recordings and electronic sounds realized with digital hi-fi and lo-fi cassette dictaphone recordings, modular synthesis and electro-acoustic sounds, combined live via digital playback devices, portable cassette players and 4-track cassette tape recorder.

Sounds are played through conventional PA speakers in a non frontal arrangement and diy low fidelity portable devices are used to create a sound geography in the space, alternating immersive and localized listening, and generating temporary and slightly unreal places.

Giovanni Lami and Glauco Salvo started playing in duo in 2018, starting from the idea of merging their research on magnetic tape sound devices; cassette and reel to reel players, tape-loops and non conventional speaker systems are linked in a constant exchange, a circular stream where each musician can find a place for improvisation.

The process of migration of sounds between the dievices is transparent, resulting in an open machine, where minimal sound fragments move, overlap, transform, deteriorate and disappear in a constantly changing organic weave.

In 2019 they released Ife, for the Los Angeles tape label Dinzu Artefacts.

Collaboration between dancer and choreographer Annamaria Ajmone and musician and sound artist Glauco Salvo is focused on interaction between space, sound and movement, in an open format performance adaptable to theatre spaces and non-conventional places.

The characteristics of the space itself are the starting point for the performance, where dancer and musician use improvisation as the main tool to activate perception and imagination, and to turn the space into a temporary unreal place to inhabit with their practice.

The performance is realized with portable audio devices, it doesn't require electricity and can be adapted to any kind of space.
