Studio Gleba

Behind “THE PLOT”, an original Open Sound Academy performance, commissioned to @studiogleba (an offshoot of @fayda.exe ) and curated by @aliosciabisceglia . This conversation takes a behind-the-scenes look at the audiovisual performance presented on 28 December, during the closing day of the 2025 Open Sound Festival, at Castello del Malconsiglio in Miglionico, Basilicata. Set in a room tied to Congiura dei Baroni, as it preserves a vivid depiction of the occurrence — a 15th-century turning point in Southern Italian history — the project draws directly from this historical context. “THE PLOT” combines samples from the Lucanian marching band tradition with deep dubstep and bass-driven rhythms, while the visuals immerse the audience in a distorted past as seen through the eyes of a medieval peasant.

“The Plot” is an audiovisual performance commissioned by Open Sound Academy to Studio Gleba, that took place in Castello del Malconsiglio during the last edition of our festival. The location is no coincidence, but rather the primary source of inspiration for this project. Together with the curatorship of @aliosciabisceglia , @studiogleba (an offshoot of @fayda.exe ) built up this remarkable performance, which originates from ‘The Barons’ Conspiracy’ – a historical event that took place in Castello del Malconsiglio in the late Middle Ages, sparking a revolt that changed the fate of southern Italy. The live performance gave us a glimpse into a hypothetical past, allowing us to experience an interpretation of the historical event through the eyes of a medieval peasant, where sounds from the local tradition blended together with dubstep sequences.

We often move alongside entities whose past we are unaware of — presences that have altered the course of history and the fate of entire populations, and which continue to influence what is yet to come and what remains unseen. OSA 2.5 The Plot is an audiovisual performance curated by Studio Gleba. Taking place on 28 DEC at Castello del Malconsiglio in Miglionico (Matera - IT) it’s a sonic and visual interpretation of an event that took place within the castle’s walls and forever changed the destiny of our lands: the liberation of Southern Italy from the power of the barons.
