Burp Enterprise and Circolo Aurora are proud to present Capracampa<\/strong>.
\nCurated by Roberta WJM Andreucci, Capracampa<\/strong> is a weekly open air performance series taking place at Torrino di Piazza Tasso, a wonderful spot in Florence, where the Aurora<\/strong> is located.
\nEvery Wednesday<\/strong> from May 30 through the end of June, Capracampa<\/strong> will be an aural island sonorised by Sistemi Audiofobici Burp<\/strong> dj collective, creatively hosting small format live sets.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While the dj sets will characteristically\u00a0offer a well syncopated cocktail of punca, colonial, polybeatz, afroamericana, noise, mod classical, r&b, error and r’n’r music, the live sets will be performed by a variety of solo artists or small format groups ranging widely from freely improvised to composed, acousmatic music and\u00a0songwriting.<\/p>\n

Hystorical member of the Burp Enterprise collective, Jimmy Gelli<\/strong> is a sound artist based in Florence.
\nHe plays with cult band Jealousy Party<\/strong> and he’s one of the founder members of the Sistemi Audiofobici Burp<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Jimmy was a visual artist and a prominent bass player in the psychedelic freeform Florence underground rock scene, which obscurely flourished in the ’80’s\u00a0as a reaction to new wave ‘s frivolity and the natural\u00a0exhaustion of GDHC<\/a> instances as a collective. Until the mid ’90’s Jimmy played with a number of bands as Flintstones, Electric Citizens, Popolo del Sole, Box of Surprises, I Piedi, interpretating r&b,\u00a0heavy psych and avant rock with a characteristic super fuzzed bass sound.<\/p>\n

Then Jimmy decided \u00a0to quit visuals and progressively stopped playing bass, focusing on electronic music and djing, beeing fascinated by\u00a0both extreme dance music and early electronica. He was a main figure in the so called Colonial scene, in the late ’90’s and early 2000, when the focus was on the process of finding a common ground between acoustic, electric and electronic instruments,\u00a0a dialogue between different backgrounds, grammars and techiniques using free improvisation as the main tool.<\/p>\n

In the last years aside being involved in many Jealousy Party’s projects, he’s more and more interested in sound art and sound installations, dealing physically and conceptually with Space and Time.<\/p>\n
