Talmente Poco

for two female voices and three male voices

Talmente Poco is a six-scene piece that explores the way a noise become sound in the human vocal tract, the connection between the raw vocal materials and the realisation of sound through the voice.

Talmente Poco is an Italian idiomatic expression that transliterated in English means So Little, in Italian is often used in many contexts to emphasise and specify the really small effort that can put a subject in a completely different state of consciousness and mental state. The expression is also used in many contexts, from everyday life to most specific fields.

The piece was realised in the framework of the cultural music project Schola, brought to Rome by the collective Avidi Lumi in collaboration with EVO Ensemble.

The piece is a purely acoustic mixture of mouth produced noises, singing, movements and gestures, brought together by an essential choreographic scheme and a minimalistic lighting design.
