a cura di Leandro Pisano

He tries to come to us
is an audio visual performance and at the same time a demonstration of an investigation realized within the former mental hospital of S G in volterra. This investigation wants to focus the attention on the work left us by the patient N O …who, by scratching the wall of the yard of the building, wrote and drew a very complex story, apparently without any sense but certainly a great message.

This opera finished only with the end of the wall.

This work is composed of a video realized with radio videocamera and of a sound composition achieved with sound sources and short wave radio signals recorded inside the building.

Yannick Franck & Pietro Riparbelli – Whinny Muir - 17/06/2011 -

This work was created using short wave radio signals, feedback, voice, various effects and filters as well as different work of the Italian Baroque composer Alessandro Scarlatti as central sound source. Scarlatti (1660-1725) is especially famous for his operas and chamber cantatas and is considered the founder of the "Italian overture" form.

The title of this album refers to the Lyke-Wake Dirge, a 14th-century English funeral chant from north Yorkshire (which chorus is usng by Yannick Franck on the last part). It is a warning about the lack of empathy and generosity and their repercussions within the travel of the soul on its way to heaven.

K11 & Philippe Petit “A-ghast”

Previously unreleased (Boring Machines)

Pietro Riparbelli (aka K11) and Philippe Petit are interested in creating ‘haunting’ soundtracks, giving the feeling that some ghosts are lurking around. Their sound is heavy and claustrophobic, and “A-ghast” should serve as an appetiser for The Haunting Triptych, their new album released on Boring Machines... Residual spookiness...

K11 new release on Afe Records - 30/04/2010 -

"Waiting For the Darkness" is the documentation of an action of instrumental transcommunication performed in a forest in 2007. It consists of a video, recorded during the last hours of the day and of five audio tracks composed with short wave radio signals recorded during the action itself.

This work wishes to investigate the dimension of fear and continues the research of Pietro Riparbelli about Instrumental Transcommunication started off with the first action performed within the Abbey of Thelema and documented on the "Voices From Thelema" CD.

"Waiting For the Darkness" was born as an audio-video installation which has been hosted by "PX Piombino Experimenta 04" international sound art festival in collaboration with Influx. This installation consisted of a video screening happening in a dark room where sixty short wave radio receivers were installed. Each receiver was tuned on a different frequency creating a constantly shifting and chaotic dimension leading to the pure perception of the audio/video representing the instrumental transcommunication action."

Artist Statement

My work arises from the study of the Phenomenology of perception with particular reference to the dichotomy between Visible/Invisible strictly connected with the studies about the concept of sound landscape.
I usually compose works in relation to the environment or to experimental practices of collaborating with other artists (for instance “Chthonian Music” has been composed with sound sources by Francisco Lopez, Christina Kubisch, Massimo Bartolini, Seth Cluett, Y.E.R.M.O., Francesco Brasini, Luciano Maggiore, Gianluca Becuzzi, Andrea Marutti, Philippe Petit, Deadwood, Burial Hex, Aderlating, Utarm, Nordvargr, L'Acephale)
About the environmental works I usually make a deep investigation of particular places, making recordings like field recordings or recordings of signals from short wave radio receivers and VLF receivers, in order to compose conceptual works about the selected sites; together with a deep study about the history of the place on which I’m working on. This is the case of works like “4 Churches” – by Touch Music - that has been composed with sound sources taken from some Cathedrals or “Voices from Thelema” that has been recorded within Thelema Abbey in Cefalù utilizing short wave radio receivers. In some of my works I also play organ voice, drum and other instruments, but I never use digital sound sources.
I’m interested in reconfiguring the sound panorama through its transcendental aspects to create a dimension that is not only sound but mainly a total perceptive dimension that bring ourselves to find out a new kind of perception.


I realize works as PIETRO RIPARBELLI especially related to the world of Contemporary Art.
So each work arise from a conceptual idea turned into sound. The field in which I principally work is linked to the perception of the sound landscape and to the perception of inner states of consciousness related to other dimensions of awareness.



K 11 is a project that deals with the world of radio signals, the trans-communication and other invisible phenomena, to create a dimension where the only sound sources are signals from shortwave radio receivers and field recordings taken from very specific locations. In this project I use only sounds coming from the atmosphere and from invisible places turned into fields of drone with particular interest into the study of the dynamics of Noise.





With PT-R project I want to investigate the way to create rhythmic sound landscapes making the use of environmental sounds (field recordings) with particular reference to the world of electronic scene. The method I utilize within PT-R project is based on sampling of environmental sound sources turned into rhythmic framework.
