‘La deviazione del profilo’ (the deviation of the profile), is a sound/concrete work that focuses its research on environmental and sonic "profiles" of multiple landscapes, interior or otherwise. It is not about travel, but the freezing of an environment without identity, seeking the auditory erasure of the subject/object concept of a hypothetical territory, temporal suspension. Thus the sound as a weft or a fabric, where, in its spaces, between its threads, voids and smaller sounds nestle. At the same time, it presents the sound environment as an evident fracture and misunderstanding of the collective. The space is understood as a non-place, as as silence,, as the fundamental point of human ‘condemnation’: its nakedness, its being always and constantly skinless, exposed nerves. That is why in ‘La deviazione del profilo’ we can find the road we all commonly travel, home, the motions of the soul, illness, desire, death... Only man feels wonder at existing. Thus, the overcoming of experience (noise-landscape) through the deviation of the sonic path, the false deviation of "it is forever"... where for mysticism the movement doesn’t even exist, the interruption of movement — static and motionless energy (rotation of the Dervish) and of the formlessness traceable to the immaterial — differentiates the landscape.
