Quite Ensemble

Quiet Ensemble is a Rome-based creative studio crafting unexpected audiovisual experiences through immersive installations and light-sound-based works. Founded in 2009 by Fabio Di Salvo and Bernardo Vercelli, the studio explores the delicate balance between nature and technology as its primary creative tools.

Their work captures the essence of both objects and living beings—from pineapples to clouds—blending organic and artificial elements. Quiet Ensemble focuses on the beauty of the seemingly insignificant: the movement of a fly, the sound of trees, the invisible concerts that surround us every day. Through this lens, they reveal the hidden or often overlooked wonders of our environment.

Fragile explores the concept of fragility as both an aesthetic and generative force, unfolding in a continuous dialogue between chance and transformation.

Subtle vibrations gradually trigger digital fractures that evolve into ever-changing visual forms: luminous cracks, chromatic explosions, and unpredictable ruptures that emerge from the core of electronic matter. Technology—usually hidden—reveals its physicality, exposing its organic and vulnerable nature.

The work is powered by real-time data from the European Gravitational Observatory (EGO) in Cascina (PI), translating cosmic and environmental signals into visual and sonic phenomena. Monitors become, almost mysteriously, antennas capable of listening to and sensitively rendering the most distant cosmic tremors. Fracture becomes rhythm, vibration, and sonic matter—transforming collapse into a creative and poetic act. In this choreography of disintegration, Fragile celebrates the beauty of unpredictability, revealing the deep connection between entropy and form.
