Codex_Saqqara is a duo formed in 2022 by Francesco Ardan Dal Rí (live coding) and Francesca Zanghellini (electric violin, effects). They aim at exploring the possibilities of co-creations between different musical practices allowed by interactive ecosystems. At the heart of the project, five recording slots that can be filled by the violinist and recalled by the live coder, establishing a game of mutual exchange of musical ideas, in which the live coder has no control over the sound material, while the instrumentalist has no control over its structural organization. The performance is improvised from scratch, always seeking new musical solutions by exploiting the interaction and collaboration. As such, rehearsals are carried out trough exercises designed to refine communication mechanics. For this performance, only two constraints are predefined: 1) the duration (10/15 minutes); and 2) the starting sound (a C3 pizzicato). From there, anything can happen.
