De la nature du sacre - third string quartet and live-computer - Conservatoire de Romainville – Romainville (France)
Leonis String Quartet
"De la nature du sacre" is the third string quartet written by Baboni Schilingi inside a group that, in its final version, it will provide a total of five string quartets.
It is a composition for string instruments and live computer that falls in the genre of interactive music. Through sound processing algorithms, the composer re-interprets the sounds produced by live musicians creating a dialogue between sound synthesis, treatment of string instruments and sounds purely acoustic.
The main instrument is the cello that plays the role not only of concertante instrument, but driving in a path in order to find the "right mean" or, if you will, the right balance. Throughut this term Baboni Schilingi wants to articulate the notion of "ritual (the “sacre” in French), the search for an equilibrium not between opposite poles, but within distinct properties, often incompatible. Sometimes irreconcilable. Exposure of a given material, its renewal in time, his hypothesis of existence as a precursor emotional, and its integration mnemonics in memory of the listener... so this is an unstable equilibrium, not necessarily dynamic, that only the projection of a hypothesis wisdom brings its desire for existence.

TERRA - music and dance performance - conceived by Jacopo Baboni Schilingi
Saison Numérique - Pierrefontaine-les-Varans - (France)
Dancer - Fanny Gombert
TERRA is a dance and music project conceived by Jacopo Baboni Schilingi in collaboration with dancer PeiJu Chien-Pott (Taiwan). Terra is a project that uses a technology called MyAir, designed by engineer David Kuller, and also presented in another project by Jacopo Baboni Schilingi, "Argo". The dancer carries a sensor (MyAir) that allows her to detect at any time in real time the dilatation of her rib cage, the number of her breaths over time, the maximum and minimum thresholds of her breathing, the phenomena of apnea and / or hypopnea etc. All these parameters related to breathing are automatically translated into music data. Terra's music is thus generated in real time by the counterpoint between two musically translated breaths: that of the dancer mixed with that of the composer.
