PORTOBESEBNO is a soundscape and music festival taking place in Calliano, near Trento, northern Italy. I was invited to its residence program. (6/25-29, 2012) Davide Ondertoller and Sara Maino, organizers of this festival, also actively organize community art, culture, and education activities in and out of castel with a moto like “not only visit the castel, but live in the castel.”

During my stay for five days, I recorded environmental sounds of the region and also generated resonances from found objects with my sound devices (oscillator and feedback set). A watergate, storages in the farm and vineyard iron wires were my main objects to work on. In composing and mixing, some of recordings were processed to some degree and some were left as it were recorded. The track evolves around three places/sonic ideas—village, mountain, and farm. The final performance was set in Castel Beseno, which is a medival castel in this town.
