Concept

The project "Rose flute" comes from research in art and music by Mario Crispi on wind instruments from five continents.
The decision to perform an acoustic concert composed of nine solos is the result of a desire to make the listener feel the natural timbres of these instruments trying to represent biodiversity in the form of sound samples and emotional. Here then, "Rose flutes" which, borrowing the concept symbol of the explorer, or the "wind rose" (the compass symbol), unravels a circular route starting from the North affects the various points of the compass through the sounds of wind instruments from those directions. The musical result is, in addition to the presentation timbre of each instrument, the interpretation of the compositions on epidermal and instinctive. Mario Crispi, emulating its musical structures and forms of the traditions of these instruments, become imaginary travel notes and photographs sound invented but possible for alone traveler.
Mario Crispi conceives the performance of "Rose of flutes" in way strictly acoustic, to provide a starting point for reflection on the concept of low "entropy" given by the archaic music, musical instruments made from natural or recycled materials, low use of electrical technology and electronics as well as the offer of an ecology of perception typical of acoustic music is not amplified to benefit in times and places suitable according to the rituals that are now submerged by the modern noise.
