Andro Giunio comprehends and approaches music as temporal art form which he uses to explore nuances of time, space and memory. To create in this context means to structure and organize different fields of noise, melody and dissonance. The process of composing a musical piece becomes an experiment in determining a map and establishing basic navigation, whereat sensibility and orientation have precedence over specific sound. Simple, fundamental structure of composition is carried out along improvisation moments and as a result music that is created is defined by tendency of sound sequences to remain in perpetual condition of creation and dissolution, positioning themselves between memory and moment, simultaneous processes of imagination and listening. Primary source of sound is usually electronic baritone guitar, but in process of performance certain effects, as well as their nusproducts, are used as instruments and are equally responsible for maintaining a structure of a composition.
On the last day of his „Open Studio“ residency in gallery, Andro Giunio is going to perform the composition under the working title „Loops, Symmetries, Distortions“. Work is based on an idea of overlapping several areas of interest, researched during the residency: particularities of an audio cassette as the medium; forming loops from analog magnetic tape; tape recorders and Walkmans as devices used for recording and reproducing, as well as performing whole tone scales in the process of individual improvisational playing sessions over the course of past few weeks in a gallery space.
Open studio is supported by the Ministry of culture of Republic of Croatia and City of Zagreb.
GMK program is supported by Kultura Nova Foundation.
