🐚 thrilled to present “Un ordine delle cose”, our second issue: a work by the composer Renato Grieco, inspired by Jacques Brosse’s meditative catalogue of animals, minerals, fossils, and elemental forms. Rather than illustrating the book, the piece crosses it obliquely, reshaping its images through voice, resonance, and metamorphic drift.
At the center of the release stands a sculptural tuning fork designed by Alfatih and hand-forged by Ettore Palombi: an antiqued-bronze object hovering between relic and instrument, photographed here by Manuela Naddeo. A physical counterpoint to the disembodied sonic work, it appears as an osteological shard, a fragment of an imagined organism holding a silent vibration.
In Francesco Cavaliere’s words:
“Renato Grieco, with his typical rasp as if his voice were coming out from the mouth of a cave, lets into his cavities the things that Jacques Brosse catalogues in his mythical book. Yet the moment they cross the threshold of his mouth they transform!
They echo, throwing themselves back into his deepest inside puffing.
If it is a jellyfish, this becomes an excavated fossil — very deep.
If it is a stone, imagine how far down this can fall.
And so, in the darkness of the uvula, the things Brosse describes get lost in Grieco’s grotto; they are no longer found. One only listens to them.”
