MUSIC FROM THE VOLCANO'S HEART
After his successful experiment recording the secret sounds of the earth in the Selva di Lamone, a protected forest area north of Rome, geophysicist Antonio Menghini is now to move his investigations to the long extinct Alban volcano in the Castelli Romani 30 kms south of Rome.
The sounds were captured using the TEM method (Transmission electron microscopy) normally used for water and mineral research underground, and were converted by mathematical formula into corresponding musical notes by musician Stefano Pontani. The same method will be used to “dialogue” with Monte Cavo, the cone-shaped remnant of the Alban volcano. The resulting E music derives from the notes emitted by the various lapilli strata deposited during the phases of volcanic activity. Every note is associated with a different musical frequency, corresponding to a note in the musical scale.
“I Suoni della Selva di Lamone” (The Sounds of Lamone), the composition of sounds emitted by the Lamone Forest Park can be followed on youtube:
