InFlute
Linda Conforto

InFlute is an electroacoustic piece representing human reality in its simplicity, fragility, and complexity. For this purpose, the composition is structured in a way that sees the original sound material getting manipulated, mangled, and decomposed as time passes: musical effects and sonic manipulations, as interferences from the world around us, distort our perception of reality. Such perception, represented by the sound of the flute, gets, thus, musically distorted and fragmented, eventually becoming dissonant and unrecognizable. Yet, despite this metamorphosis, a trace of its roots is still there and retraceable, symbolising and reminding human perseverance and persistence, which stands strong despite any trial and challenge one may face throughout a lifetime.

The end of the piece, unpredictably, presents a harmonious solution. After a clash between the odds of life (mangled sounds) and one’s will (original samples), one single, tuned note closes the piece, representing our ability to—eventually—overcome any obstacle and preserve our essence intact.

Linda Conforto is a sound artist particularly interested in multimedia installations. Former classical flutist, she later began to explore the possibilities offered by new technologies applied to music. She is currently enrolled at the F.A. Bonporti Conservatory of Trento as a BA student in electronic music, investigating, in particular, the art of multimedia installations, and programming languages for visuals and audio. She attended masterclasses and seminars held by leading experts and
