HCM
Born by the need of collecting in a physical box the memories that contribute to make the artists the humans they are.
Humans Collecting Memories is a project created by Giovanni Di Giandomenico and Aladin Ilou in 2016.
HCM is a creative project about musical production, artistic research and experimentation. It’s an attempt to look at the discographic industry with a different eye. Each release is unique and deeply related to a specific research.
RELEASES
-
The aim of this release is to investigate being humans in a dimension of pure harmony in relationship both with other humans and oneself. Both sides are composed in a way they can be layered together and listened to simultaneously.
-
Soliloqvivm is the Latin word for Soliloquy, the dialogue with oneself that often explores every nook and cranny of our personality. This may end in a quite rough path towards the knowledge of our deepest self.
-
The release aims at evoking the feelings and atmospheres of a cold reverie. A deep insightful immersion that detaches oneself from the external, physical reality, enhancing an exploration towards consciousness in the moments that follow a traumatic state.
-
The inspiration for this piece evolves around the central idea of aspiring to something unrealistic and the consequences that involves. Attempting to fly naturally entails a risk of falling, and this fascination towards instability is a powerful source of inspiration.
INSTALLATIONS
-
This installation is a site specific intervention at 53100 festival in Siena, aimed at answering the question of what the act of collecting and sharing consists of. Individual memories are micro perspectives that document a shared experience within a community. Each single memory constitutes a small fragment of a larger composition. These fragmented testimonies of personal experience are continuously processed by our ability to relate our personal perception of reality with the experience and perspective of others.
