Prediction [2004]
'Prediction' is based on the elaboration of musical ideas after listening to hours of soundscape music, but extremely brief samples were extracted from various pieces by Bernard Fort and Alexandre Yterce.
'Prediction' moves from a beginning based on percussive clusters followed by a dynamic, reverberating continuum. The piece develops through light rhythmical patterns, the tenuous sound of birds and goes towards a decrescendo interrupted by another cluster. The conclusion mixes striated electronic sounds, the sound of birds and reiterative patterns. A prediction is an announcement that something is going to happen. Not necessarily unpleasant of course. But this piece refers to a fatal disruption of natural environment.
'Prediction' was performed for the first time at the Como Music Conservatory in 2006.
Subsequently this short composition became part of the Electronic Suite composed in 2011 for the butoh dance performance of Marcella Fanzaga, entitled 'Crepe tra le ossa - Cracks in the bones', visible at this link in the 2013 performance in Milan:

'Prediction' was also chosen as a soundtrack for the video ExoH by Diana Danelli.

The ExoH project is a work in progress: is a look at the immanent-imminent future of man. The reflection is inspired by the concept described in Diana Danelli's 2016 contribution titled “ExoHumans, equivalents, superiors, coexistent: cues for a "exo-Aesthetics" (merged into V.A. Twentieth Century Arts and Techniques. Studies for Mario Costa, Kaiak Publishing, 2017 )” an attempt to imagine the radical anthropological mutation that could bring the human beyond the biological base
Lately 'Prediction' was performed in Milan as part of the acousmonium Fingerprints / Awakenings concert, held on 25 January 2019 at Fabbrica del Vapore:
