Sunday Silence ~ The Land of Remorse, Part III

February 3rd, 2025 by CLOACA

This is the concluding part of a trilogy of episodes exploring the correspondence between contemporary electronic music from Italy and the Southern Italian miracle of Tarantism, the ecstatic dance and musical practice locally believed to be instigated by the bite of a spider. As de Martino shows, and as we have seen, whether or not the spider was ever a “real” actor in this web is irrelevant; it is the web itself that matters, a web of histories enacted, wounds reworked, and sensoriums transformed. Among this sensual abundance, this final part provides sensations to metabolize after the music has ended, with mutations from Valentina Magaletti, Caterina Barbieri, and Silvia Tarozzi.
