about

"Le Streghe di Montenerodomo" by Monica Miuccio was published by Keltia Editrice © 1996 (Aosta, Italy) after winning the Second Prize at "Ti Voglio Raccontare" Keltia' literary contest.
"The members of an archaic community embody their fears of natural calamities in a manifestation of Devil: Witches. The people engage in a fight against them revealing that their superstition is not rooted in mere ignorance, but in a pre-Christian belief that their isolation has preserved, and that now lives side by side with the Word of Gospel. But more than prayers and magic can their sense of unity and by relying on each other in a circle of strength they defeat the Witches in the very same moment they defeat fear. So strong is their belief in their actions that history takes the shape of their creed, turning reality into a
legend".
IRIDE PROJECT performed this Audio Drama live-to-air at Radiophrenia Glasgow in 2022. The new version was narrated by Monica in her own Abruzzese dialect, true to the rural regional setting of the story.

It is an All-Analogue piece as it was created by manipulating voices and percussion in real time with an analogue modular synthesizer. Filters, Effects, Panning were controlled by CV motion sensor devices and pedals.
