“Hyoidal Echoic Nexus" (2024) for percussion and electronics explores mechanical resonances through an intricate web of percussive textures and electronic layers, forming an “echoic nexus" where vibrations converge and disperse. Mechanical noise elements highlight rigid yet resonant qualities, alluding to an artificial hyoid bone, and produce a sound environment that cycles through phases of buildup and decay. This nexus acts as a focal point for layered, machine-like rhythms, behaviours, and pulsating resonances, forming a dynamic space that amplifies and refracts sound. Through this interplay, the piece shapes an immersive auditory experience in which mechanical acoustics pulse, echo, and connect within a resonant core.
The piece was commissioned by the L'ASSOCIAZIONE KEYHOLE, and the LOXOSconcept. with the support of the MA/IN festival, and is heartily dedicated to Fabio Macchia
