This label is to be intended as a repository of electroacoustic works. The main goal is to retrieve the late Renaissance praxis of “Ricercare” intended as exploration of a technical device playing it, subverting it in different ways. So this kind of “Musica Ricercata” should be affected by individual approaches with sound materials of any kind, samples, electronic devices, pure sine generators, transducers and so on. The local and momentary gesture generates relational sequenced processes that defines the sonic path from start to end. This recordings have to be intended as a document” or Simulacra of a solo or collective performance but not as the performance itself (which is affected by causality relationships and other environmental and statistical phenomena). The Project is maintained and supervised by U.S.O. Project in collaboration with many other audio-visual artists.
Milan/Rome based Matteo Milani and Federico Placidi are sound artists whose work spans from digital music to electro acoustic improvisation.
Unidentified Sound Object was born from the desire to discover new paths and non-linear narrative strategies in both aural and visual domains.
U.S.O. Project is a continuing evolving organism.
Matteo Milani is a sound designer and composer living in Milan, Italy. He started his career at the end of the 80’s in radio stations, cutting inches of music on analogue tape. In the mid 90’s he pioneered the rising of digital audio workstations. Now, he’s reflecting most of his creativity blending “synthetic” and “organic” sound materials and performing electroacoustic music.
Federico Placidi is a composer and sound designer living in Rome, Italy. Since the year 1993, he’s been working with several composers and performers as sound designer and live-electronics technician, thus developing his personal sound library and tools. He also worked as a sound editor / designer for numerous full-feature movies. His music ranges from “concrete” acoustic to experimental.
