Dopo un mese e mezzo passato a Tatti, Mauro Tirannosauro oggi ha fatto la sua prima visita nel capoluogo maremmano, dovendo scendere nella piana per una riunione. Era quindi al Caffè Ricasoli, dove la rete pibinko.org ha calcato numerosi passi (e anche un po’ la Jug Band Colline Metallifere). Nella foto che un giorno sarà … Continue reading Mauro T. makes his debut in society at Caffè Ricasoli in Grosseto, Tuscany
Jack O’Malley, featuring Mauro Tirannosauro on ultrasonic backing vocals, in a back-facing cover of Willin’ by Little Feat, looking South. Making sense of the reference to crickets implies either a deep knowledge of places around Tatti, Southern Tuscany, where this video was shot, o sending a mail to micalosapevo@pibinko.org to inquire. I been warped by … Continue reading The Mauro Tapes 1. Crickets, not at the Crossroads (Willin’ Cover)
Mauro Tirannosauro, in his capacity as member of the Jug Band Colline Metallifere, attended together with Andrea Giacomelli a teleconference of the “Empowerment, Inclusiveness, and Equity” working group of the European Citizen Science Association. Mauro gave a productive input to the teleconference, and invited everybody to the Participatory Lithology prototype closing event, planned for mid-May.
Mauro Tirannosauro (L) and Jack O’Malley (R) during one of their pauses in the production of the next video, after I have some rocks, and Seeing the Milky Way by Day. It’s kind of hard to get any sneak peeks on the new production. Rumor has it that this might involve stuff with Marcus King, … Continue reading Mauro T. and Jack O’M. during one of their pauses
Somehow the first announcement of the participatory lithology reached “Mauro il tirannosauro” (Mauro the T. Rex). Mauro proposed himself as mascot for the Participatory Lithology project, sending a portfolio which leaves no doubts on his performing potential: We will get to see Mauro soon in action. To be part of our “little participatory lithology exercise”, … Continue reading Mauro wants to join Participatory Lithology
Between June 27 and July 2 a delegation from the Jug Band Colline Metallifere composed by Jack O’Malley and Mauro Tirannosauro attended the ninth Living Knowledge conference in Groningen (The Netherlands). The scope of the mission was to give an art-based presentation (i.e. a “ConcerPT”) to present the JBCM project to an audience of scientists … Continue reading The JBCM Mission to Groningen: How did it go?
Some “demo take” preview of the new songs written during the cold months (or soon-to-be-warmer months, as Fuffi used to say).

After the last episode, in December 2021 in Follonica, we continue with the community mapping project which we started in 2014 in the Farma Valley, then developed in 2019 in Tatti, and in 2020 in Roccastrada. Participatory mapping is one of the permanent components of the Jug Band Colline Metallifere’s activity (in every performance we … Continue reading May 19, 2022 – “Mapperitivo” with the JBCM in Roccatederighi, Southern Tuscany

Please refer to this blog post to review the abstract we sent to the conference For … Continue reading Jamming in Groningen
TO BE TRANSLATED Eravamo carichi a pallettoni da un mesetto per l’appuntamento del Festival Eretico a Monterotondo Marittimo, estrema provincia nord di Grosseto, dove la maremma. Purtroppo, a 24 ore dall’inizio della cosa, gli organizzatori hanno prudentemente proposto di rimandare l’evento (possibilmente ai primi di giugno, si attende conferma) e in effetti le previsioni erano … Continue reading A ConcerPT in Monterotondo Marittimo (i.e. what do we do when an event is cancelled due to bad weather)
