LOCARNO, SWITZERLAND - May 14, 2010 - Second Lif, the world premiere
of XUACSAL, a contemporary classical music concert by the composer
Emanuel Dimas de Melo Pimenta, will happen at the Second Life May 23,
2010. The performers will be, the composer himself playing digital
systems and the Italian classical guitarist Francesco Cuoghi, both
will perform in real time. The designer David Lucas Desiderio
specially created the virtual space for the concert.
XUACSAL is a composition based on the paintings of prehistoric caves
of Lascaux, France. Since the late 1970s, Emanuel Pimenta has
developed a technique of composition with notation created inside
virtual environments. Through such technique, fragments of those
prehistoric paintings, dating from about fifteen thousand years ago,
are transformed into three-dimensional elements in computers. These
elements basically determine the performance of the sounds by the
musicians.
Emanuel Pimenta was composer for Merce Cunningham, collaborating with
John Cage, for about twenty-five years in New York City. Francesco
Cuoghi is a professor at the Conservatory of Florence, Italy, and
studied at the IRCAM in Paris. David Lucas Desiderio lives in Brazil,
Sao Paulo, and completed his MA thesis with a revolutionary virtual
space inside Second Life. The sound production is made in Rio de
Janeiro by Pablo Valenasa, also known as PV Slade, founder of the
Xtream Hotspot Streams.
Each of the men resides in a different part of the world and has no
personal relation with the next. With Emanuel Pimenta in Locarno,
Switzerland, Francesco Cuoghi, in Rome, Italy, David Lucas Desiderio
in Bauru, a city near Sao Paulo, Brazil and Pablo Valenasa in Rio de
Janeiro, they will perform from different parts of the world. On May
23rd, the performance will begin at 16:00 in New York, 17:00 in
Brazil, 21:00 in London, and 22:00 in Paris with a performance
duration of thirty-eight minutes. The entrance to the concert is
