Full modular impro with patch notes
Ricerca avviata da Vincenzo Scorza nell’ottobre 2020, basata su improvvisazioni modulari accompagnate da documentazione delle patch.
Il progetto precede e contribuisce allo sviluppo di STARS – Modular Impro.
Full modular impro with patch notes nasce nell’ottobre 2020 come ricerca solista di Vincenzo Scorza sull’improvvisazione interamente realizzata con sintetizzatore modulare.
Il progetto era concepito come un ciclo di 88 improvvisazioni, una per ciascuna delle 88 costellazioni riconosciute.
Sono stati effettivamente realizzati 13 episodi:
- Andromeda — 20 ottobre 2020
- Antlia — 22 ottobre 2020
- Apus — 26 ottobre 2020
- Aquarius — 30 ottobre 2020
- Aquila — 5 novembre 2020
- Ara — 10 novembre 2020
- Aries — 12 novembre 2020
- Argo Navis — 18 novembre 2020
- Auriga — 30 novembre 2020
- Bootes — 6 dicembre 2020
- Caelum — 17 dicembre 2020
- Camelopardalis — 27 gennaio 2021
- Cancer — 3 marzo 2021
Ogni episodio documenta una patch e un’improvvisazione completa, con materiali audiovisivi e patch notes dedicate a routing, tecniche di sintesi e processi creativi.
I primi undici episodi costituiscono il corpus pubblicato come Full Modular Impro Vol. I.
La ricerca diventa inoltre il precedente diretto da cui nasce nel 2021 il progetto collaborativo STARS – Modular Impro.
Media e documentazione
Full modular impro with patch notes is a solo research and audiovisual project by Vincenzo Scorza around Eurorack modular synthesis, improvisation and practical documentation.
Each recorded improvisation is accompanied by patch notes describing the modules, routing, synthesis and sequencing decisions, and solutions discovered during the performance. The emphasis is on explaining how a system was configured and what happened within it, not on pretending that a live improvisation is a reproducible finished track.
The project provided the methodological basis for the larger collaborative STARS — Modular Impro initiative, developed in 2021 with Andy Morello and Omri Cohen. The solo archive and the collective series are related but separately catalogued.
Archival series and episode list (translation from Italian)
The Italian archive documents the solo project as beginning in October 2020, conceived as a cycle of 88 improvisations, one for each of the 88 recognised constellations. Thirteen episodes are listed as having been realised:
- Andromeda — 20 October 2020
- Antlia — 22 October 2020
- Apus — 26 October 2020
- Aquarius — 30 October 2020
- Aquila — 5 November 2020
- Ara — 10 November 2020
- Aries — 12 November 2020
- Argo Navis — 18 November 2020
- Auriga — 30 November 2020
- Bootes — 6 December 2020
- Caelum — 17 December 2020
- Camelopardalis — 27 January 2021
- Cancer — 3 March 2021
The first eleven are included in the Full Modular Impro Vol. I release. Each episode is accompanied by audiovisual documentation and patch notes concerning signal routing, synthesis techniques and creative process. This is a translation of an existing archival episode list, not an assertion that each date was independently checked against a primary recording.
