PI (No Places Project)
Game-EP
No Places Project is a transmedia ongoing reflection about sound and narrative singing started with a series of songs written by Sei Iturriaga Sauco based on real stories related to specific places. Any song tells a story and has a sound heritage rooted in its place of origin. In contrast to the concept of “No place” proposed by French philosopher Marc Auge, the places that these songs invited us to visit are not just places but stories, identity, and deeply engraved sound practices that leave a track in the embodied memory of the singer who has found these songs, or have been founded by them.
PI is the result of a posthuman speculative fictioning practice, the scenery is a faraway future where these songs are kept as remains. In the form of a playable music videogame called by us GameEP (a musical EP presented as a videogame experience) is the first official release of the No Places Project, so we have decided to open the door of this ongoing reflection and creative research starting from a maybe impossible end.
As a performative videogame, PI is an experience of live music and video that allows the combination of the songs and the different sound elements while exploring this speculative universe, so the player’s agency is the core of the musical experience where sound and visual elements and their very own material nature are what finally defines the form that any of this songs can take.
Musical and visual produced, and developed by Alessio Alonne with the creative direction and original idea of Sei Iturriaga Sauco, PI is an AdoKin Collective production.
