"La nostra è una ricerca in direzione della dimensione cangiante del suono. Con il caleidoscopio delle tecnologie elettroacustiche esploriamo la materia sonora in tutte le sue forme, indaghiamo la molteplicità delle strutture soniche emergenti del mondo. Siamo cinque compositori napoletani di Musica Concreta interessati alle pratiche improvvisative. Le nostre personali ricerche si coagulano nel progetto Ka’e: la materia organica in Giampietro, i suoni senza mondo in Bosso, la vocalità espansa in Montella, la spiritualità del suono risonante in Laudante, la chitarra decostruita in Martusciello. Ne scaturiscono tele sonore ad libitum."

"Our research goes in the direction of the shimmering dimension of sound. With the kaleidoscope of electroacoustic technologies we explore the world of sound in all its forms, we investigate the multiplicity of emerging sonic structures of the world. We are five Neapolitan composers of Concrete Music interested in improvisational practices. Our personal research on sound comes together in the Ka’e project: organic matter in Giampietro, worldless sounds in Bosso, the expanded vocality in Montella, the spirituality of resonant sound in Laudante, the deconstructed guitar in Martusciello. The result is ad libitum sound canvases."
