Notes by Nicola Valentino

Diario durante Narcomantic
All'inizio ho dovuto fronteggiare l'iperstimolazione sonora. Mi sono messo in posizione yoga e mi sono lasciato andare al suono, ad un certo punto il suono mi sorreggeva. Non bisognava sentire il suono con le orecchie ma con il corpo per non rimanerne schiacciati. Poi non reggendo più la posizione mi sono sdraiato. In posizione sdraiata ho sentito come uno sprofondamento del corpo nel pavimento ed ho sentito anche l'energia che mi sorreggeva. Mi sono spostato sul fianco ma non mi sono addormentato. Allora mi sono nuovamente sdraiato pancia in su con le mani poggiate sulla pancia intorno all'ombelico e in questa posizione ho cominciato a vedere delle immagini ipnagogiche: tre automobili in corsa in un tunnel… l'immagine di un edificio tipo un ipermercato, poi un complesso residenziale… un mazzo di chiavi che avevo perso ed altre immagini ancora, che al momento in cui inizio a scrivere al buio questo diario non ricordo più. D'improvviso mi sono svegliato completamente e definitivamente con occhi apertissimi e cervello sveglio e pure il corpo. Mi sono seduto in posizione yoga e le gambe sono stranamente andate subito nella posizione giusta anche il ginocchio dolorante. John ha cominciato a proiettare dei lampi di luce che mi danno molto fastidio, poi di nuovo suoni … al momento percepisco che sono sveglissimo e che questo è uno stato modificato di coscienza da iperstimolazione acustica creato per non spingermi affatto a dormire. Domani mattina dovrei essere sveglissimo. L'attuale movimento delle immagini sullo schermo è proiettivo. Ho visto un uomo faccia a terra. Una persona russa. Non è una immagine proiettiva. Russa veramente. Vedo anche un'ombra dietro sbarre. Un'ombra che si muove. Vedo particolari del corpo. E' ripreso il rumore o suono a volume alto tipo martello pneumatico o quasi. Gli stimoli oscillano, il rumore si è interrotto ora riprende una musica calma il video è spento. Ma ci sono suoni inquietanti e sibilanti, anzi si iniettano nel cervello. Pochissime persone mi sembra che dormano. Ora mi sembra ci sia una suggestione verbale, alcune parole sussurrate ma sono in inglese e non le capisco. Qualcuno russa. Prosegue la suggestione ma è incomprensibile. Nuovamente una accentuazione del suono. Anche se volontaria, il corpo in questa situazione subisce una torsione. Sono venuto come gli altri volontariamente ma non sapevo bene cosa mi aspettava. Si può fare tutto in nome dell'arte? Per l'arte le persone si sono affidate. Ora c'è stata una sovra stimolazione sonora massima. Le persone si svegliano, camminano, escono. John la elimina. Penso che osservi i nostri comportamenti. Di nuovo sollecitazione alta. Rumore altissimo, un tuono costante batte il petto. Al momento ore 12, 45 (di notte) è subentrata la noia. Alcuni ragazzi vicini a me cercano di chiacchierare. Dal nostro lato della stanza sono andati via tutti. Eccesso massimo di rumore. Quale autorità ci tiene qui? Per me ormai è una sfida, una prova di resistenza. Perché resisto invece di andarmene? E dove vado? E' anche tardi ormai. Potrei starmene qui fuori. Andando in bagno ho incontrato una ragazza. Ora se n'è andata a dormire al piano di sopra. Ritiene che questa cosa faccia male a livello cellulare. Immagini fluttuanti. Suono di fondo sordo. Le immagini per chi vengono messe? John le mette per se stesso o per chi si sveglia? Ore 2 sono uscito per mangiare della frutta. In precedenza John mi ha offerto una mela. Mi chiede se voglio un Tè. Ore 3 il suono si è fatto più sopportabile ed induce al sonno. Dopo le tre mi sono sdraiato ed ho dormito.

Notes during Narcomantic
At the beginning, I had to confront sonic hyperstimulation. I put myself in a yoga position and let myself go into the sound, at a certain point it supported me. You couldn't listen with your ears, but with your body, not to be crushed by it. Unable to hold the position, I laid down. Laying down I felt my body sinking into the floor, and I also felt the energy supporting me. I turned onto one side but still couldn't sleep. Now I'm lying on my back with both hands on my stomach around the navel, and in this position I begin to see hypnagogic images: three cars moving in a tunnel… the image of a building like a supermarket, then a residential complex… a ring of keys I lost and other images, which as soon as I start writing this diary in the dark I can no longer remember. Suddenly I'm completely awake with eyes wide open, mind and body alert. I'm sitting in a yoga position and, strangely, my legs went into the proper position right away, even with the painful knee. John has started projecting flashes of light that really bother me, then new sounds … at this moment I'm aware that I'm really awake and that it's a state of consciousness from acoustic hyperstimulation created to steer me away from sleep. Tomorrow morning I have to be wide awake and alert. The current movement of the images on the screen is projective. I saw a man facing the ground. Someone snores. It is not a projection. He really is snoring. I also see a shadow behind bars. A shadow that's moving. I see details of the body. The noise or sound is back at high volume, almost like a jackhammer. The stimuli oscillate, noise interrupted by calm music, the video off. But they're sounds that are unsettling and whistling, as if injected into the brain. Very few people seem to be asleep. Now there seem to be verbal suggestions, words that are whispered, but they're in English and I don't understand. Someone snores. I pay attention to the suggestions but they're incomprehensible. Again an accent in the sound. Even if voluntarily, in this situation the body is subjected to a twisting. I came voluntarily, like the others, without knowing what to expect. Can anything be done in the name of art? For art the people have given trust. Now there's been a maximun sonic overstimulation. People get up, walk around, leave. John eliminates them. I think he's watching our behavior. Again a high stimulus. Really loud noise, a constant thunder hits the chest. At exactly 12:45 (AM) boredom took over. Several kids near me try to talk to each other. Everyone from our side of the room has gone. Extremely loud noise. What authority keeps us here? By now, for me it's a challenge, a test of resistence. Why do I resist and not leave? Where would I go? And anyway, it's late. I could stay out here. Going out to the bathroom, I met a girl. She went upstairs to sleep. She is convinced that this event causes harm at the cellular level. Fluctuating images. Muffled background sound. Who are the images for? Is John playing for himself or for whoever's awake? At 2:00 I left to get some fruit [in the next room]. Before that, John offered me an apple. He asked me if I wanted some tea. At 3:00 the sound became more bearable and induced sleep. Sometime after 3:00 I laid down and slept.

PRAYER 13

Surround sound audio composed from image files of my toilet translated to audio

John Duncan last night was sublime. Sudden start (and end, no messing with fancy fade-ins or outs), I sensed impatience and a sense of putting things in order. Horror organ cuts, straight through like a giant wound, slowly peeling away into a grand, soothing series of half-spheres and dish shapes...giant scale minimalist architecture, let's say.

Unexpectedly, the entire theater goes completely dark.
For several seconds everyone sits in silence, blind.
Duncan and the chorus members, sitting throughout the audience, begin to to whisper to themselves.
In a moment, continuing to whisper, they stand up in the dark and undress loudly enough for the strangers sitting near them to hear. Nude or semi-nude, they turn to the strangers and start screaming.
Some stand up and scream back. Cellphone camera strobes flash throughout the audience. Screaming and strobes continue for several minutes.
Then whispering again, Duncan and the chorus move through the crowd to the exit to end the event.

Comments from Bryan Lewis Saunders' blog:
This was my first feasible chance to see John Duncan perform live, and it was well worth the 10 hour plus drive.

As "The Hidden" was to be presented in 4-channel surround sound, John instructed Nicole and I to sit as close to the middle as possible. I closed my eyes and as soon as it began, my thoughts became focused solely on my own physical presence and remained so throughout the duration of the performance.

The first 10 minutes were loud and caused an unsettling swelling pressure in my upper torso. It felt like I was being "acted upon" as Nicole put it, but unlike an assault, the sense of imminent danger was somewhat limited. Within a short amount of time the physical pressure began to move slowly but fluidly, and it felt as if the empty spaces between my organs were being filled with plaster, bonding my heart, lungs, liver and diaphragm into one solid mega-organ. The correlation between the physical sensations and the sound was really strong, and as the loud sound moved around and dissipated, so too did the enormous tension in my chest, but the now heightened awareness of it never left. In the beginning, I opened my eyes for a split second several times, but because the main part of the audience was divided into two closely seated sections, facing each other, it became impossible for me to keep my eyes open. The sonic experience at times seemed to warrant me opening my eyes, but whenever I did so, I saw the squadron of seated strangers facing me, and I found myself trapped in a psychological space that was unnerving to say the least and I would look down and close them again instantly. So back into the dark I went and back into the body (Afterwards, Nicole noted a similar experience with the seating, so I know that it wasn't just me).

The next wave of sound brought the tension to my spine and it rapidly advanced up the back of my neck through the base of my skull, uniting the spinal chord and lower brain into a single entity. Surprisingly, the forebrain remained separate and seemingly unaffected, oblivious to any stress, feeling light and even delicate. I say "surprisingly" here because it was extremely unusual to feel such a thing, in only the back half of my brain.

Then a narrative of instructive vocals was introduced. By now I was entirely preoccupied with what was happening to me physically, so the words were for the most part disregarded, though certain words did jump out at me from time to time only to enhance the physical awareness of my body. For example, upon hearing the word "temperature", I became conscious of the heat that this sound/stress had been generating. The upper torso was hot, my Central Nervous System was now hot, and the third and final wave of stress/sound had localized itself in the pit of my stomach, and now all three regions seemed to be burning. Having suffered from debilitating stress for most of my life, I welcomed a new idea that such a dreaded phenomenon could actually be interpreted in a positive light, as a heat generating source of vitality and energy and life, and my thoughts then turned even more positive and to that of the chakras, and I so hoped that the remaining groin and forebrain regions would be "acted upon" next and quickly and I now resigned myself to yield to a grand spiritual experience.

But all that was thwarted when the word "cold" snapped me back and I was instantly drawn to the fast dropping temperature loss in my extremities, skin, legs and arms and then a great thermostatic battle ensued within me. The heated Inner parts remained isolated, disconnected and thriving unto themselves, yet caught up in competition with the surface and outermost parts of my body which were now amalgamating to form a cold and lifeless shell around me. I remember thinking, "If the hot parts lose I'll be dead". I then began to take in some of the push/pull repetitive directional words I was hearing like "forward" and "back" and I heard a footstep, and thinking that it came from right next to me, I tried to make some of my own footsteps but couldn't, I even tried lightly stomping and became frustrated that I was deaf to my self.

So my mind continued to be pushed and pulled around, confined to the inside and outside of my body and then a wonderful surprising cascade of white noise rained down upon me, giving me chills and a much welcomed spectacular pressure release unifying my entire physical self, leaving me with a warm extremely pleasurable feeling of well being, as if I had just had a Turkish Bath.

Looking back now I see even more similarities between the two. In the context of a social gathering, the awkwardness of being nude amongst strangers and the urge to not look or be looked at in a Turkish Bath, was replaced by the uncomfortable, to not look or wish to be looked at "face off" seating arrangement during "The Hidden". I can also see similarities in that both could be thought of as a sort of ritual cleansing. There are several stages to the process of a Turkish Bath: First, one enters a sauna like "warm room", then an almost unbearable "hot room", and then the splashing of cold water over one's self followed by a full body wash, and a "push/pull" type of massage, and lastly one spends time in a relaxing "cooling room". Throughout the performance I experienced these same rooms in almost precisely the same order, the only difference being that these rooms came in the form of sound waves and never once did I have to move. I don't regret forfeiting the majority of dialogue presented, the physical journey I undertook was by itself enlightening and the parts of dialogue that did get through in fact made "The Hidden" that much more enriching.

THERE MUST BE A WAY ACROSS THIS RIVER
A Valentine's Day Dedication

14 February, 2009
Sant'Andrea degli Amplificatori, Bologna

Solo concert for voice, controlled feedback, 2-channel open-reel tape and active room refrigerator
Produced by Luciano Maggiore, Dominique Vaccaro and Domenico Grenci

In the coldest season of the year with subzero temperatures outside, an industrial room refrigerator steadily turns the air of the windowless basement space from cold to colder, then colder still. The room is lit by a single candle, extinguished when the audience has finished moving in to sit on the tile floor. In total darkness, they hear these words repeat and fade from the tape looped across the ceiling:


There must be a way across this river

A corridor leads to a descending ramp,
to a larger chamber,
to another corridor,
always sloping downward.
The temperature grows colder as we descend,
moving deeper underground.
The cold becomes unbearable.
We turn around to go back --
but the corridor has changed,
turned into larger rooms that lead
to a vast, cavernous sanctuary,
a place of worship,
much larger than any structure we have ever imagined.
The entire hall is deserted.
The air is warm but the devotion to worship feels naïve;
to grow it is necessary to move on.

Now I find myself with a woman I know and do not know,
my tongue sliding slowly inside her,
taking pleasure from giving her pleasure.
