Frammenti dal labirinto
for electroacoustic instruments (duration 12'11'')
Fragments of the music of the ballet Il Labirinto del Mondo by Daniela Capacci, composed for the International Dance Festival of Castiglioncello.
Il nastro di Moebius
(from a woodcut by Escher)
for prepared piano, clarinet, percussion and tape (duration 13'25'')
The composition is a kind of translation into music of a woodcut by Dutch engraver Maurits Cornelis Escher, a fantastic image of an endless ring-shaped band, The Moebius Strip, invented in the 1800's by the German mathematician August Ferdinand Möbius.
Dove amorose stelle concedono la felicità
for soprano, countertenor, percussion, guitar and electroacoustic instruments (duration 9'54'')
It is the first episode of the electroacoustic piece Che-“Cambiare la Prosa del Mondo” composed by Mauro Bagella, Francesco Galante, Giovanna Marini, Serena Tamburini and Nicola Sani. The piece is a kind of great sound mural in which we combine the five episodes of the individual authors. The text is a montage created by Luigi Pestalozza, of speeches and writings by Ernesto Che Guevara with lines of poems by authors from around the world and from every era.
Una dolcezza inquieta
for piano harmonics and electronic sounds (duration 14'11'')
This work, based on a poem by Eugenio Montale (I Limoni), is dedicated to the pianist Oscar Pizzo, and was composed using the POPSystem, a system for the production of harmonics of the piano, invented by the composer.
Un luogo colorato
for a percussionist and tape (duration 13'02'')
La composizione è dedicata al percussionista Gianluca Ruggeri.
This composition is dedicated to percussionist Gianluca Ruggeri. The colourful site is the rehearsal room of the percussionist and his countless sources of colour, sometimes even completely unknown or invented instruments. The work, on a predetermined path, and as confirmed by structural magnetic tape, evokes such colors, or rather asks the interpreter to do so, so as to generate a set of overlays, substitutions, in brief, bringing different sound sources into play.
