Cinema Sonoro with Mass Prod (Martino Marini)

Music production and sound design 
Masterclass held by Martino Marini 

“My passion for sound started when I was very young, I got fascinated by electronic music and I have been messing with sounds since then. In the past twenty years I have been involved in a variety of sound related projects as a student, teacher and performer. Recently my interest shifted to algorithmic and generative organization and concatenative synthesis of sounds, after being highly influenced by composers and thinkers like Curtis Roads and Miller Puckette. I released a good amount of albums and eps, in group and as a solo artist. I have been working in recording studios and radios, I have produced and toured with bands and have played as a D.J. and live performer around the world. I have made sounds for interactive installations, multimedia experiences, art installations, video art and dance pieces. In the past few years I have been focusing on teaching audio production and sound design.”

Cinema Giocato with Pietro Righi Riva (Santa Ragione) 

Making indie games with film technology
Masterclass held by Pietro Righi Riva, Game Director - Santa Ragione

Santa Ragione is an Italian micro game design studio dedicated to developing games and video games. Founded by Pietro Righi Riva and Nicolò Tedeschi in 2010. Santa Ragione’s games focus on achieving a visceral response from the player, whether through the desolate landscapes of MirrorMoon EP, the uncompromising, vertigo-inducing speeds of FOTONICA, or the controversial politics in Wheels of Aurelia. The studio has a unique, experimental approach to accessibility that encourages exploration and personal interpretation, to achieve surprising depth. Santa Ragione’s inspiration comes equally from literature classics, evocative electronica, and contemporary art, to strive and stand out stylistically and continue the tradition of Italian design. The studio is currently at work on the survival horror adventure Saturnalia.
