This track by Italian artist Marco Lampis started out as a text, became an almost hypnotizing sound piece – and remains an ongoing project. As Lampis says, the work started from the problem of using language to describe a musical experience: “Especially in Italian, we tend to use metaphors that refer to other metaphors, adjectives that describe other adjectives in a continuous and infinite circle without ever getting to the point. Maybe because it's impossible. Therefore I created a text starting from music reviews that tries to describe the experience of listening, but in the end it doesn't make any sense.” Not sure if we share this very last view, Radio Level Five is happy to present The Shaded Zone.
This piece is part of a series with interviews, readings, and other sound pieces which are regularly published on this site. More info on Level Five via www.levelfive.brussels
