Presentation
“San Antonino” is a musical composition made for the port of Mar del Plata. We intend to make a space of 640,000 square meters audible by intervening in its sound landscape with different sound sources. This work, which can be understood at the local, regional and global levels, explores the ways in which art can help denaturalize understandings of geographic spaces and recover untold histories of a region.
The project consists of two horn and whistle ensembles (located in the southern and northern breakwaters), two cars with sirens (moving along the southern breakwater) and yellow boats equipped with sirens, horns and musicians. In addition, a high-range sound system, located at the top of “the Christ” statue on the southern breakwater, will reproduce field shots of sounds from the annual nautical pilgrimage and everyday life at the port.
Ports have always referred to the exchange of ideas, novelties, new worlds. They are unstable, dynamic, rhythmic, places of business, yes, but also of solidarity, attention, care, teamwork. There is an economy, it is true, but it is an adventure economy, a constant bet that its workers make on the sea. Ports are emotional territories, in them we find joy, ambition, fear, disappointment, resignation, hope. All this great movement shelters a social and geographical sound, which we want to amplify.
Between roars and sirens, shoutings and horns, San Antonino goes back to the myths that forged the construction of a local identity, such as “the nautical pilgrimage”, “the feast of the fishermen”, “the waters’ baptism”, and asks us to think of the modes of appropriation and significance of the territory that these vernacular rituals promote. The port of the city of Mar del Plata is presented as a paradigm for the city as source of cultural heritage and pride and social safeguard, through descriptions of aspects of the port’s history and the daily life of its workers.
Deeply local, this music, complex for interpretation due to the coordination it requires, has in its sights an idea of art understood as social sculpture, that is, an art of agreements between peers, an art that thrives on the joy of generating a shared project for a community benefit. An art of peace. A social art. San Antonino is the sound of a place, and therefore, of those who inhabit it.
Motivation
San Antonino is a musical project with a strong heritage stamp. The composition is mobilized by the deteriorated situation of the yellow boats of Mar del Plata and the other heritage assets (tangible and intangible) of the Port of the city. Without losing sight of the festive nature of popular music, San Antonino also seeks to direct attention to the port’s territory and its material circumstances, that is: its sounds, its practices, its history, its social relationships, its symbols.
