What is: In 26 towns of Central America a 150 feet tall steel Christmas tree with sounds and lights is installed in order to play a daily 11 minutes multisensory show for people all around.
Amazing idea: 6 Spectr Audio SPX1538 (2-way/15-inch) loudspeakers are attached to the tree’s structure at a height of 20 feet, in order to create a 360-degree soundscape with a power of 95 dB for people staying at a distance of 75 feet.

Interferenze Festival
If you have someone in love living in Italy you know that we’re famous not only for pizza or mandolino (nice tool for the experimental sound designer…), but also because we got heart. Yes, we have a big heart. And some events can be organized only by people with a lot of heart. Like this festival.
Interferenze is an event dedicated to art and new technologies that will held in Italy from 23th to 25th July 2010. The location of this edition is the town of Bisaccia, placed along the eastern slopes of the hills of Irpinia. For three days this will be the place in which international artists, musicians, curators and researchers will meet together and give their contributions for workshops, concerts, live performances and installations.
We’ll be part of this big family, because I, Sara and Luigi Mastrandrea will lead a panel/workshop on Saturday 24th July called Design o’ the times, based on the concept of Time Design promoted by Albert Mayr.
Finally, we had a very deep and interesting digital conversation with Leandro Pisano, curator, writer and director of the festival, to know more about this amazing event in which Sound has inevitably a predominant role.
