*Limited edition of 200 copies.* ELP collects the music composed and performed by Fabrizio Modonese Palumbo for a series of choreographic actions by choreographer / dancer Paola Bianchi. Those actions are part of the articulated choreography research project ELP (Ethos, Logos, Pathos) in which choreography deepens its study of the body and the relationships between bodies and the cultural images upon which bodies are represented. The project studies the relationship between the descriptive word and dance through the transmission of audio archives of posture created by starting with images then removing from the choreography the body as a model to be imitated in such a way as to negate the hierarchy of power over the transmis-sion of dance.
The music does not hide itself as an accompaniment to the movement, nor the movement as a transposition of the sound, but rather taking form in a continuous dialogue, now synergetic, now conflictual but anyway never descriptive between the languages in action, all the way from the conceptual process to the final performance.
