In my work, I explores the tensions and equilibriums that coexist between presence and space, silence and noise, focus and perception. I seek to create expanded experiences in which I unveil the complexity, multiplicity, and transient nature of auditory realities, with a cross-language addressed to a shared subjectivity that often employs unconventional forms of participation. I am particularly interested in how time and slow natural processes affect the fruition of artwork and influence human perception, memory and relationship with the natural and the virtual.

Drawing inspiration from microbiology, quantum physics and Zen practices, my research pivots on the ambiguity between the material and immaterial, fostering their entanglement and divergence within the same vocabulary.

My practice reveals an inner discipline that goes beyond the scope of rational coordinates, whilst addressing everyday actions and small things.

Perletta makes music that's almost as hard to describe as it is enjoyable to absorb, and that's quite a feat.

Fabio Perletta [...] sintetizza un'efficace visione d'insieme attraverso una concatenazione di elementi materici, silenzi e trasparenze, riuscendo a trasmettere appieno il senso di questo incontro fra sacro e suono.

Musique Concrète for the mind?
Peter Van Cooten, Ambientblog
The notes fade, but they don’t necessarily stop. They echo into infinity.
James Catchpole, A Closer Listen

Fabio Perletta il suono lo produce, lo comprime, lo interroga costringendo lo spettatore a porsi in ascolto, a spostarsi nello spazio, cercando di catturare frequenze inudibili incastrate in centinaia di combinazioni che si autogenerano.
Marta Silvi, Artribune
L’analisi percettiva condotta da Fabio Perletta sulle strutture microscopiche del suono costituisce uno dei percorsi in assoluto più interessanti nel composito panorama di indagine estetica legato al rapporto tra arte, scienza e suono.
Leandro Pisano, Blow Up Magazine

Addensandosi e disaggregandosi intorno al grado zero della materia sonora, questi suoni disegnano traiettorie dissonanti e frantumate nello spazio dell’ascolto, che diventa lo scenario acustico di un’esperienza intensa e immersiva.
Leandro Pisano, Blow Up Magazine

[...] Ma 間 accresce ulteriormente il senso di una poetica sonora che a ragione può definirsi essenziale in senso etimologico: il tempo infinito del verbo ‘essere’ come spazio ipotetico di una costante indeterminazione.
Michele Palozzo, Esoteros
[...] the pair produced an admirable example of psychoacoustic exploration able to generate stimulating suggestions while eliciting the kind of retroactive synthesis performed by the brain in the presence of a given combination of sounds.

～ファビオ・ペルレッタ本人によるステイトメント～

 私の作品には、録音～構成された作品や、パフォーマンス、サイトスペシフィックなインスタレーション、テキストスコア、オンラインプロジェクト、参加型アクションが含まれており、すべてサウンドとリスニングが核となっています。

私は、存在、沈黙、無常の概念を探究し、さまざまなレベルの経験、関与、熟考を奨励しています。私は特に、時間とゆっくりとした自然のプロセスが芸術作品の結実にどのように影響し、人間の知覚、記憶、自然と仮想との関係にどのように影響するかに興味があります。

私の作品は、しばしばとらえどころのない性格を帯び、音の二重性に関心を持っています。私の研究は、物質と非物質の間のあいまいさに重点を置いており、同じ語彙内にパラドックスが共存できるようにしています。

人々に予測不可能性との関係を深めるよう促し、参加者が現実に対する自分のコントロールに疑問を抱く、拡張された体験を作成しようとしています。微生物学、量子物理学、禅の実践からインスピレーションを得て、共有された主観性と対話し、型破りな参加形態を採用する言語を超えて、私たちの生活に浸透している聴覚的現実の複雑さ、多様性、および一時的な性質を明らかにすることに興味があります。

私の実践とは、日常的な行動や些細なことに取り組みながら、合理的な座標の範囲を超える内面の規律を明らかにすることです。
