ABOUT

The project originates from an idea of Emidio Sciannella, thanks to the experience in Solstizio and the participation of Julia Kent, who shares its developments and consequences. The project is founded on the creation and collection of spontaneous sounds by pupils taking part in projects and workshops on specific issues (wars, emigration, water problems, environmental issues). These sounds are later re-elaborated by musicians and transformed into original assemblages which will be introduced into the pop or underground distribution chains; any revenue will be assigned to support the social projects in the world.

Earthbeats is currently connected to We are the Planet!. It involves pupils with different ages (6-18 years old) in more than one area of the planet, thanks to educational paths that employ a method characterized by the use of artistic languages as means for giving voice to the individual views and for harmonizing them.

Earthbeats is the union of the words beat and earth

COLLECTION OF SPONTANEUS SOUNDS

Earthbeats spontaneous sounds come from educational institutes and agencies Workshops in which students deal with planetary environmental issues (sustainable economy, right to water, biodiversity protection, combating deforestation, etc..). The main goal of this activities is to raise awareness of such issues by using the spontaneous sounds in order to enable a way of understanding reality through emotions experimented by students .

Personal tracks will represent the transposition of the didactic activity and the emergence of subjectivities and personal interpretations on selected themes. The tracks can be made of combined and simple sounds of any kind, by the use of every possible instrument, analogical or digital, classic or experimental.
