Davide Tidoni: Collected Recordings

Davide Tidoni is an artist and researcher interested in the relational dimension of listening, and in the physical experience of sound. He works with live performance, intervention, audio recording, video and guided listening, and published a sound ethnography on the ultras group BRESCIA 1911. 'Collected Recordings' is a series of works selected by Tidoni from his extensive back catalogue. Produced by Milo Thesiger-Meacham. This first episode features two pieces: Back to Back with Paolo (2014), and Memories of a Pigeon Shooter (2012). Back to Back with Paolo is an encounter between Davide and Paolo, two amateur singers who meet accidentally on the street at night time. After a short introduction, the encounter turns into a back to back chanting battle. The street becomes the stage for a spontaneous performance. The chants are a way to discover each other. In Memories of a Pigeon Shooter, an elderly man speaks about his former career as an amateur pigeon shooter. After talking about his prizes and victories, the meaning of his stories slowly comes to the surface: the desire to remain attached to his memories and not be forgotten. [Repeats Saturday 8.15am.]
