An appointment at sunset with Vesuvius to listen live to his unmissable duet with a band of musicians: this is the unusual program of the scientific-musical event staged next Saturday 21 September on the Neapolitan volcano.
"Concerto Vesuviano Jazz and Rocks" will be a real jam session with Vesuvius, during which the quartet of saxophonist Marco Guidolotti will interact with the sounds produced by the volcano thanks to the transformation into musical notes of the electromagnetic data acquired by the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) on the same Saturday afternoon with a geo-excursion to the Gran Cono del Vesuvio.
Indeed, through the instrumentation made available by INGV, electromagnetic pulses (EM) will be sent to the volcano and its response, determined by the nature of the rocks that make up the building up to hundreds of meters deep, will be transformed into music through a mathematical procedure, devised by the EMusic – the Sound of the Earth team, which returns musical notes from geophysical data.
The event, open to the public and organized by EMusic, INGV, the Order of Geologists of Campania and Aarhus Geophysics, will be divided into two parts: from 13.30 to 17.00 the geo-excursion and the sonification of the "Electromagnetic Music" are scheduled; to follow, the Concert.
No one can know which notes will be produced and which music will derive from them: a real discovery that spectators and musicians will make that day together, live, at the concert on Vesuvius.
