Activities and projects
Inventing and realizing FEEdbACK unconventional sound routes which is an original radio format thought and presented by Pietro Sacco and Luigi Catalani. It is broadcasted on several local radio stations. Rare to the point of being unique in Basilicata, every week FEEdbACK presents a high-quality handpicked commented musical selection ranging from rock music to club-culture and promotes the most interesting up-and-coming Basilicata musical realities. In each episode FEEdbACK interviews different personalities, who are always artists of national and international calibre. Furthermore, once a month FEEdbACK hosts Blow Up’s director or a member of its editorial staff – this is the prestigious Italian music magazine.
Inventing and realizing tragittisonori.com, the only Lucanian portal giving space to music and its interactions with different arts is full of reviews, suggestions, reports, articles and photographs. It originated in May 2006, thanks to Maurizio Caggiano’s support. This website pays great attention to Basilicata’s music and artistic activities and 360.000 contacts have already been recorded.
This is the Club Cult Crew foundation, a collection of people from Potenza (Sacco & Vanzetti, Keng~, Fester, Lcy-o) who are active in various worlds as well as in artistic contexts. The Crew members have added a soundtrack to events connected with the cinema, the theatre, poetry, contemporary art and video-art, and interact regularly with figurative artists, photographers and video makers within The FEEdbACKERS which is an appointment – unique in its kind – organized in cooperation with Interzona Association.
Inventing and realizing – in cooperation with the Association “Amnesiac Arts” – “That’s all Indie!”, an international independent music festival which has already brought to Potenza artists of the caliber of Josephine Foster, Parenthetical Girls, A Hawk and a Hacksaw (USA), Blessed Child Opera (Italy) etc…for the very first time, exclusively in Basilicata.
Over the years FEEdbACK and tragittisonori.com have been establishing media-partnerships and cooperation with important music and art events on a regional and national level: “Italia Wave” (of which it is the official aerial), “Dissonanze”, the “Pollino Music Festival”, the “Potenza Film Festival”, the “Lucania Film Festival”, “Primo Maggio Tutto L’anno”, “Absolute Poetry”, “Piombino eXperimenta”, the “Festival Potenza Teatro”, etc…
Other experiences: the association arranges music selections and multimedia PFF Sounds within the 2005 Potenza Film Festival. It presents and/or selects music in the region’s most important artistic and environmental contexts (festivals, art galleries, urban crossing-places, squares, theatres, pubs) such as the 2006 Pollino Music Festival, the 2006 Lucania Film Festival, the 2005 Potenza Film Festival, the 2006 Video-art on the occasion of the Potenza chief town’s bicentenary, the 2005-2006 Arezzo Wave Basilicata (DJ-set and presentation) the 2006 ARCI music Festival.

Basilicata Art Factory Project
http://artfactorybasilicata.blogspot.com/
artfactorybasilicata@gmail.com
This is a plan originated in 2006 and is being carried on by five Associations which are not only creative but also excellent organizers, such as Opera Prima (the Committee which promotes the Contemporary Art Museum in Basilicata), Orfeo Hotel contemporary art project (Contemporary art projects, photography, performances, public art and specific-site works of art), Cartoons (Audio-video expressions, comics and digital art), La Luna al Guinzaglio (Workshops, children’s theatre and exhibitions), Feedback-tragitti sonori (Contemporary and electronic music).
By means of a valid synergy between these five associations Art Factory is planning to create an identity which will be productive on the Lucanian territory and at the very same time active on an international level. This will be realized in a place where art can be offered, planned and produced for the public through creative workshops and the theatre, literature, design, music, cinema and contemporary art events.
The market and sources of income
The market is mostly local, yet there are excellent prospects for development outside this Region – which the several extra-Lucanian co-operations evidence. Music and art events are realized with the support of very few private sponsors, through self-financing and the participants’ contributions to the initiatives.
Problems and drawbacks to development
By enlarge, Institutions pay little attention to the present experimental innovative artistic forms, and are more attuned to national and international trends rather than the traditional local offer. It is extremely difficult to find suitable places for organizing projects and sharing experiences with people with similar interests and flairs with whom new cooperation forms may be started in depth.
