First Light's Third Space #9 - Chantal Michelle & Cucina Povera

In this episode, Chantal Michelle takes us on a journey around New York in the first portion of this month’s Third Space. Buskers, sirens and footsteps are caught between and across music that captures the frantic and conflicted relationship of the artist and the city.

In the second half of the show, Cucina Povera engages with the broad palette of sounds found around her. This mix focuses largely on sounds rather than composed music, but the musical inspiration that Cucina Povera finds in the city’s droning bells, natural ambiance and repetitive bird song melodies is pronounced.

"An inexplicable draw, a love affair that can’t end, a refusal. Compounded layers, disharmony, the occasional synchronicity that could be mistaken for meaning. Trying to “block it out” but efforts are futile; a bleeding. Pleasure in discord, fear. Joy when looking out the window." – Chantal Michelle


Each month, First Light Records invites two artists to take an unplanned journey with a microphone around their city to curate an hour-long mix. Each show captures the unique atmosphere of a city from each artist's perspective, through music and found sound.

Davide Tidoni: Collected Recordings #2

For this second episode of his collected recordings he presents two pieces:

'Up In The Valley' (2013)

A documentation of traditional oral chants Davide recorded in Presegno (Valle Sabbia, Brescia, Italy) during the night of San Lorenzo (aka "the night of the shooting stars"), on the 10th of August 2013. What emerges from the recordings is the vital energy of the voices. They communicate a strong feeling of togetherness and collective excitement. Singing is an expression of joy, and it enhances social cohesion, contributing to the formation of a certain atmosphere of shared enthusiasm and self- empowerment.

'Tous Ensemble On Va Chanter' (2014)

In this work, Davide’s friend Helen sings along with a recording of St.Etienne's football supporters group, Magic Fans (St. Etienne vs. Toulouse, 2011). The piece emphasizes the contagious nature of chanting. Despite Helen not being a member of the Magic Fans, she gets involved quite easily and participates in the singing without hesitation. The recording concludes with a final comment by the guest singer talking about the power of collective chanting and how much energy it takes to sing aloud.


Davide Tidoni is an artist and researcher interested in the relational dimension of listening, and in the physical experience of sound. He works with live performance, intervention, audio recording, video, and guided listening. He recently published a sound ethnography on the ultras group BRESCIA 1911. 'Collected Recordings' is a series of works selected by Tidoni from his extensive back catalogue.
