In second appointment, scheduled for Friday 4 June – space in Heith: artist and musician who during the last decade has investigated the multiple possibilities of sound in different directions, from electroacoustic music to rave. Along with various musical publications, his work has been shown in soundtracks, art galleries and live performances. Heith an output of explorations of the structural qualities of sound, which gives compositional form to harmonies by invoking psychic impulses and ancestral visions. His disorienting use of rhythms and sound design largely aimed at re-emerging the memory of thoughts, dreams and psychedelic amnesia. The live that Heith will preview for Disconnect an excerpt from his next album to be released in September, and born from the collaboration with Leonardo Rubboli with him on stage: an electroacoustic production of experimental music with folk roots that investigates language capable of creating other realities. Waiting for new updates, the calendar closes on Thursday 10 June with the concert by Redi Hasa, in collaboration with Ponderosa.
The youngest son of a cello teacher and a choreographer from the Tirana Opera House, at the age of 20 he escaped the growing wave of violence that was sweeping his country in the company of a stolen cello. Arriving at the port of Bari Hasa begins the second act of his life and releases his first solo album "The Stolen Cello", after having worked for many years as part of Ludovico Einaudi's group ensemble, and performing in the ambitious Seven project Days Walking, which was chosen for the soundtracks of the new Oscar winners “Nomadland” (best film, best actress, best director) and “The Father” (best actor and best non-original screenplay). In his album - and in the new songs in the deluxe version that will be released on June 11 - Redi Hasa highlights the "vocal" nature of the cello, an instrument that perhaps comes closest to that of the human voice, with a story deeply personal of hope and survival.
To ensure the distance and arrange the organization of the sessions, the advance sale available in the Boxoffice and Ticketone circuits is strongly recommended (concerts start at 9 pm - admission € 13 + dp).
