CODES OF THE ISLAND – JANNEMURU
Guests: Manuella (vocals), Marco Di Cesare (saxophone)

The performance by JANNEMURU, conceived specifically for this occasion, is closely connected to the exhibition Islands and Idols and takes shape as a sonic journey intertwining archaic evocations with contemporary experimentation. Drawing inspiration from the symbolic universe suggested by the artworks, the artist translates into sound the idea of the island as a place of memory, ritual, and transformation.

JANNEMURU’s project stems from a direct relationship with nature and the signs it bears. Nature, a gift from the gods, preserves symbols and traces that have always guided humankind toward a dialogue with the universe—keys to crossing the boundaries of the visible. Through the use of synthesizers, loops, sampling, and digital percussion, JANNEMURU constructs a layered acoustic landscape where electronic sounds and ambient textures merge with fragments and timbres evoking the ritual imagery of Sardinia. The listener is thus guided through a suspended journey, poised between the intimate dimension of memory and the collective one of ritual, between the ancestral and the contemporary.

The set goes beyond simple musical accompaniment, becoming a truly immersive experience in which the language of sound becomes a tool of evocation—amplifying the exhibition’s themes and offering new resonances. Each sonic passage is conceived as a threshold, an invitation to lose and find oneself again within an unexplored territory where tradition and experimentation engage in mutual dialogue and transformation.

Bio:
Jannemuru is a producer, sound artist, and performer born in Sardinia, whose musical research moves between wild nature, ancestral cultures, and electronic experimentation. At the heart of his work lies a deep bond with the environment: Jannemuru captures sounds directly from nature—waterfalls, canyons, wind through the rocks, birdsong—through field recordings that form the organic foundation of his compositions. Each piece originates from a real place, from a lived experience, transforming listening into a sonic map that restores the memory of the landscape.
