Cuccurucucù - Franco Battiato | 1981 - Quadrisonanti

A painting you can listen to.

Cuccurucucù by Franco Battiato (1981) is much more than a work of art to hang on the wall. It is a complete sensory experience: frame the QR code printed on the painting with your smartphone and let yourself be carried away by the musical piece that inspired this work.

A constructivist and cosmic style, with warm ivory as a neutral background to a bird that is not just a bird, it tells of music as something that comes from an inexplicable elsewhere. A geometric and composite sparrow — constructed from fragments of magnetic tape, musical scores, planets, stars, and the night sky — is perched on an invisible wire and sings with an open beak. From its beak emerge notes that are also planets, moons, and golden stars. The bird's body is an entire universe: inside are the full moon, constellations, the magnetic tape of a song that never ends. Battiato did not sing. He transmitted signals from space.
