Centro Visitatori ValfurvaSnowsound is an audiovisual and musical research project that intertwines Olympic archival materials to enhance the historical memory of winter sports with contemporary artistic languages. An engaging experience, with attention to accessibility and cultural inclusion.
Immersive Installations
The archival images of Olympic winter sports (1920s - 1970s) flow with their material grain and are reactivated by electronic soundscapes: a contrast that opens a dialogue between past and present, allowing us to revisit those sequences with a new perspective.
The sequences are distributed across three monitors, each with its own audio — curated by Pierre Alexandre Tremblay, Walter Prati, and Painè Cuadrelli — accessible through selective headphones, also thanks to binaural coding.
Two screens showcase the competitions in various disciplines; the third is dedicated to the mountain environments and amateur skiing practices of the time, focusing on Bormio and Livigno, to compare the evolution of sports and transformations of the territory.
The materials come from the FICTS and Istituto Luce archives; research by Franco Ascani (FICTS), curation and coordination by Luca Mosso (Filmmaker Festival), image editing by Greta Mauri.

The SNOWSOUND Project
SNOWSOUND is an audiovisual and musical research project born from the collaboration between MMT Creative Lab and Filmmaker Festival within the Cultural Olympiad: a cultural experience that intertwines Olympic archival materials, live soundscapes and site-specific multimedia installations, to enhance the historical memory of winter sports — in view of the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games — through contemporary artistic languages, generating an experience capable of engaging diverse audiences and different territories of Lombardy, with an emphasis on accessibility and cultural inclusion.
The images of the past become the ground for a deeply present sound: the archive is not only remembered but reinterpreted and re-signified. In this dialogue between the materiality of film and electronic writing, memory comes back to life and speaks to contemporary sensibilities.
The Artists
Tamburi Neri is a project by Claudio Brioschi and Andrea Barbieri, who share a love for music, experimentation, and the search for new sounds. Claudio and Andrea met in 2012 in Val Masino at the “Kundaluna Bar,” and there their friendship began, leading them to create the Tamburi Neri project in 2017. The two have extremely different artistic profiles and musical backgrounds, yet they complement each other in musical composition and artistic ideas. Tamburi Neri is a project based on stories created by Andrea and the musical composition of Claudio. Since the beginning of their project, they have completed numerous pieces, with such naturalness that they seem already etched in their minds. Their music offers a long vortex of emotions and poetry. Claudio oversees sound production, Andrea writes the lyrics and uses his voice to create atmospheres.
Vincenzo Fabiano has a decade of experience in video as a visual and motion designer, creating multimedia content for concerts, performances, museum installations, and architectural projections. From 2011 to 2021, he collaborated with the Kernel Festival and in 2022, along with Matteo Galimberto and Massimo Tantaro, founded EEZEE, a creative studio in Milan. He is a Visual Art Lecturer at the European Institute of Design in Milan.
