I C::ntr::l Nature

solo performance
Live a/v improvising for augmented electric bass guitar, butterfly and self-designed software C::ntr::l.

I C::ntr::l Nature is an univocal, synesthetic action of audiovisual improvisation, conceived and live performed by Marco Donnarumma aka The !S.A.D!.


The live act represents the sarcastic celebration of the human instinct finally able to govern the nature.


The body gestures sculpt the soundscape and the images deconstructing the whole life cycle of the caterpillar, making the microscopic world of the butterfly become an immersive and surreal ambient, minimal, organic sounds mutate in scareful drones, sometimes violent and obsessive.
This work is performed with the electric bass guitar and the self-designed software C::NTR::L, Human-Computer Interface for physical computing developed in Pure Data by Marco Donnarumma.
