Program Notes

Kustéata [2017] Through the Yámana language, almost extinct, the composition introduce itself into the expressive possibilities of vocal sounds that no longer find a receptor for whom they mean. The piece is presented as the scene of the emergence of new meanings, from the sound of the word and from its electroacoustic manipulation. The composition has been totally composed from the elaboration of vocal sounds.

Integrale [2017] Basato sulla sintesi granulare, Integrale è un brano in cui si esplorano le varie possibili implementazioni utilizzabili da questa tecnica. La composizione del brano avviene tramite la raccolta di microforme algoritmiche, strutturate si, per la generazione della sintesi granulare, ma attuate per avere comportamenti estremi, anomalie, singolarità, e aberrazioni implementative. La ricerca formale per la composizione, si è sviluppata su una domanda essenziale: cosa può succedere, in un irrisorio istante sonoro? In omaggio agli studi di Dennis Gabor e alla sua visione scientifica corpuscolare il brano è stato intitolato Integrale, ovvero: un elemento che fa parte di un tutto, che concorre alla costituzione di un intero.

Present Otherness [2017] In 2007 Jonathan Harvey invited me to write a work for tape based on trumpet samples played by Markus Stockhausen. I decided to dismantle the original phrases and manipulate the spectral characteristics of single sounds in order to create new sounds and reconstruct a new music from scratch. I wanted to investigate the dichotomy of a “present” perception of reality and an-“other” more elusive quality of extended perception linked to a metaphysical dimension of life.

Matera [2016] is a sonic experimentation project which focuses on new approaches to electronic sound creation. This piece has been developed by using a mixture of techniques used in previous compositions. New experimentation in sound creation has resulted into a blooming world of sound structures, often referring to natural and cosmic aesthetics. “Matera” was premiered at the Ecos Urbanos Festival.

Matérica [2017] This track is the third part of a study on the sound matter. The aim of this study is to create a timbre and temporal connection among sound objects. Elements from different environments and contexts, totally unrelated to each other, coexist, are intertwined and interact together, thus giving rise to a form alive and responsive able to move in an imaginary space.
