Unità di produzione musicale (Musical Production Unit) is a project by Enrico Gabrielli and Sergio Giusti developed in collaboration with Enece Video (Pietro De Tilla, Elvio Manuzzi, Tommaso Perfetti) and Pietro Leone.
A work that is halfway between a documentary film and a performance. A simulation of 8 hours of industrial factory activity where, instead of working a lathe or building bolts, music will be written and performed following an assembly line shift rotation.
To achieve this, they will employ sixty people as musicians/workers who will perform in an industrial area, coordinated by a superintendent. Once they will have worn their work overalls, half of them will have to write music on thirty desks while the other half waits in front of thirty music stands. Once the writing is over, those who were waiting will have to perform the result in a sort of extemporary mass interplay.
Timetables will be set strictly, and once the shift is over the two teams will trade places: the composers will become the performers. And so on, exchanging roles throughout until the end of the workday.
You can support the project by joining the crowdfunding campaign.
