Mylicon/En

Lino Greco (visual) and Daniela Cattivelli (sound) created Mylicon/En in 2002. Mylicon/EN is a duo involved in experimental and alternative ways of conceiving audio-video live act, recovering performativity and concreteness through the use of analogical and mechanical devices in the production of images. Their works focus on the interaction between analog or mechanical devices with the digital realm. Visual texture is manipulated according to sound, and the audience is given a double view, i.e. both of the spectacular outcome and of the actions producing it. During their improvisations and creation sessions they use many different common objects like glasses, plastics, water etc. to create sound and images. The audience get the chance of a double vision during the performance: next or under the screen, they can watch the action generating the visual. Mylicon/En performed audiovisual live-set in many festivals around Europe.

Mylicon/En: Stylaria

Stylaria: 'an extraordinary worm from the limnic benthos and phytal... gently swimming between water plants. It is extraordinary due to its very long flexible thigmic proboscis. Eventually, chains of asexually produced animals can be seen'. Water, liquids, fluidity are the common elements of the Mylicon/En live set. Starting from images taken from one of last Mylicon/En live set, (created using only a straw and a videocamera), we played the game of being in a biological lab looking for Stylaria and other 'freaks of nature' as biologists call the invisible but incredibly wonderful animals living in water. The soundtrack has been created reducing at the minimum the samples and the elements for the composition: only two different short drum samples have been filtered and combined (hit-hat and bass drum); we followed the evolution of images like in a western movie, in the climax of which there is a sort of 'duel'.
