In Two Worlds is the first release of the new L’Arte dell’Ascolto label.
Label born from the homonymous international festival dedicated to radio and art that has been held in Rimini since 1991. Festival that has created unusual and pioneering projects such as Publiphono (20 kilometers of acoustic diffusion on the Rimini beach used by artists such as Scanner and Rupert Huber/Tosca who made special live performances), La lunga notte (musicians connected via radio links for a single performance between Italy, Germany, Austria, Israel, 1993), Schwarz auf Weiss (the Italian premiere of Heiner Goebbels’ work performed by Ensemble Modern), Mondo ex (with the writer Predrag Matvejevic’ together with artists from all over the former Yugoslavia). In 1995 the festival generated Radio Lada, a web art radio co-produced with RAI Audiobox and ORF Kunstradio.
And now a further development of this project was born the label L’Arte dell’Ascolto dedicated to investigations into territories such as: new electronics, soundscape, acoustic dramaturgy, spoken words, sound and art.
In Two Worlds is also a tribute to John Cage, one of the main supporters of Dalo’s work and a reference figure for him. The title and the handwritten parts of the CD graphics are based on an unpublished mesostic by John Cage dedicated to Roberto Paci Dalò.
