RUN INTO THE APOCALYPSE (R.I.T.A.)
Alternative Jazz
Run into the Apocalypse moves through the shifting territory between acoustic and electronic sound, where live processing, samples, and digital textures intertwine with improvisation to create a constantly transforming sonic world. It embraces instability and transformation, turning noise and interference into compositional material.
“Running into the apocalypse” becomes a metaphor for venturing into the unknown — an act of creative surrender where the boundaries between instruments, machines, and players dissolve in search of new timbres and new forms of listening. Long departed from the lands of a heteronormative musical cosmo and in perpetual search of an authentic voice, Rita
Brancato inquires about emancipation of drums between jazz and electronic, with an open ear to natural timbres. With her new project “Run Into The Apocalypse” she aims at putting together what she has been researching for two years at Codarts University’s Master: how to expand the possibilities of a drum set with live electronics. What if a drum could express harmonic content? What if its sharp, fast-decayed timbric palette consisted of long sounds too? What if it could trigger words, chords, or a melodic sequence? What if it could reproduce pitched sounds and modulate them along a scale like a melodic instrument would do? What if it could sound like a hundred drums are being played at the same time? To do so, she and her hybrid drums pair up with two great horn players long established in the Netherlands, Andrea Leone on tenor sax and Massimiliano Dosoli on bass clarinet, in a collective exploration of the possibilities of processed sounds.
