THE SADDEST NOISE
THE SWEETEST NOISE
A multidisciplinary project based on the poems of Emily Dickinson
by Giacomo Vezzani and Giacomo Pecchia
Produced by MAT-Movimenti Artistici Trasversali
“This is my letter to the World”, un “Her Message is committed / To Hands I cannot see —” this was the definition that the American poet Emily Dickinson gave, in verse, of her own poetry (441).
Yet it is all written in her poetry, in her letters. Emily lives a second life, in poetry that is imagination, discovery, meditation, and the search for the meaning of existence itself, in the only dimension possible: solitude.
Much has been said about Emily Dickinson, about her decision to shut herself away from the world, dressed in white, due to disappointment in certain loves, or others lost.

It was in the solitude of collective isolation that Giacomo Vezzani composed the pieces that pay homage to the poet. There are eight compositions, chosen by Vezzani from among the more than 1,775 with which Dickinson shares with us her long exploration of existential themes that afflict us or simply her observations of phenomena that hearten us. Happiness, sacrifice, hope, pain, the passing of time, the awareness of death, the volcanic energy of love or poetry. An intimately felt choice among some of the themes that make up an immense and at times convulsive poetic corpus. A choice with which Giacomo Vezzani has skillfully re-composed music and words in a dedicated album.
In order to encourage experimentation with different sensibilities using the common heritage of Emily Dickinson’s poetry and with the aim of breaking down the barrier that poetry belongs only to literature, an installation, a second album, and a musical performance have been created.
