Nicoletta
Magalotti, aka NicoNote, is an eclectic and versatile artist
who pursues a personal vocal and expressive research, giving
her preference to experience in sound and theatre.
She believes in the vibrations of Sound, in the
Interdependence of phenomena. Listening helps her to See.
1978/1983-At a very early age, NicoNote is one of the founders
of the Tic/Macchine Celibi theatre research group; in this
period she visits the Akademia Ruchu Company in Warsaw to
attend a workshop led by the Japanese actor Yoshi Oida. Meets
Julian Beck and Judith Malina.
1984/1988-Plays a leading role in a stimulating musical
project as the singer of Violet Eves (www.violet.eves), a
group defined by many as a highly important experience on the
Italian musical panorama of the 1980's. The Materiali Sonori
(www.mat.son.it) label currently distributes the most
significant pieces in the collection Overview.
At the same time NicoNote makes her first movie experiences,
playing minor parts in Stradivari and I cammelli directed
respectively by Giacomo Battiato and Giuseppe Bertolucci.
1989/1993-NicoNote continues her career as a solo singer on
the Italian rock-pop scene (CGD - Union - 1990; EMI -
Nicoletta Magalotti: Nico - 1992), also collaborating with
various musicians, including Teresa De Sio, Antonio Aiazzi,
Piero Pel, Roberto Colombo and others.
She starts a personal path of research on the relationship of
"sound-colour", moving in different disciplines of knowledge.
She meets artist Bruno Ceccobelli and violinist Massimo Cohen.
Her interest in improvisation influenced by the (humoral)
perception of deep feeling as a method of composition is born.
1994/1999-Leading actress of the film Isotta by Maurizio
Fiume, presented at the 53rd Venice Film Festival in 1996 and
at other international festivals (Los Angeles, New York,
Jerusalem, Thessalonica, Havana).
She plays the part/voice of Cassandra in Orestea, una commedia
organica? directed by Romeo Castellucci for the SocÏetas
Raffaello Sanzio theatre group. She is still an actress/vocalist
for the same company in the play Voyage au bout de la nuit,
based on the novel by Louis-Ferdinand CÈline.
NicoNote starts working in the discotheque CocoricÚ, directing
the ambient room called Morphine, the first of its kind in
Italy. Here she organises and presents non-conventional events
dedicated to the transversal arts, inviting artists like Roger
Eno, Arto Lyndsay, Aphex Twin, Hector Zazou, Marilio Sgalambro
and Enrico Ghezzi.
Currently at Morphine NicoNote is holding curious "live
sessions of vocal improvisation" with the eclectic resident dj
David LovecalÚ, and on the first Saturday of every month she
also presents "# session happenings", hosting different
musicians on each occasion (www.cocorico.it).2000/2003-Starts

Monica Francia and produced by Ravenna Festival in
collaboration with the Dance Section of the Venice Biennial.
Following this event, NicoNote is invited to participate in
the National Women's Drama Festival, where she contributes to
the analysis of the relationship Music/Theatre with a
communication entitled Shakespeare Ë sol minore (Shakespeare
is G minor), presented at Florence's La Limonaia Theatre.
She supervises the musical production of the CD Fashion
Victims, the first stage of the AND projects. Three tracks
from the album are chosen for the Armani/Global Design, 2001
videos.
During the study day dedicated to Pier Vittorio Tondelli at
the Pecci Museum in Prato, NicoNote debuts with a studio
version of the Private Space concert, presented later in its
definitive form of "theatre of sound" at Milan's Oltre90
Festival in October 2002. The presentation notes were
published in their entirety in the Panta magazine Tondelli
Tour- 2003, no. 20.
NicoNote also periodically leads a workshop of fairytale and
fable reading, intended for adults.
