THE SHAPE OF SOUND

AN IMMERSION IN NATURAL LISTENING

Chiesetta della Misericordia, Venice, 2017

Francesco is an artist with a passion for technology who, for the last twenty years, has conceived of sound and form in radically new and innovative ways. He is a visionary luthier, who treats his unique creations as if they were musical instruments. With Francesco, art meets science: technology, shape, material and craftsmanship all come together to create unforgettable emotions. The shapes of his objects are timeless: cones, spheres, wheels.
The materials are the ones used by man for millennia: ceramic, wood, metal, artfully assembled to create the perfect synthesis between form and function. The sound is omnidirectional, with a sound source that is perfectly natural, as if the performer was in front of the listener.
An audio sculpture for Francesco is an omnidirectional experience that transforms the space into the natural expression of music, involving all the senses: speaker and environment become one, and one could not exist without the other.
