We have been invited to perform our Systema naturae with our friends of Schallfeld Ensemble as the final event of Time of Music Festival in Viitasaari, Finland, on 11/07/2022. Lots of work and traveling, but lots of fun too.
This year SMC has not been organized by me (as the previous two online edition, blame COVID). It was in St. Étienne and with my colleague Valeriya Korol we presented a paper, “For LISA. Music Composition from Gravitational waves” explaining the process that went from Valeriya’s GWD data, for the LISA mission, to my piece for prepared piano. On July 28th we also had the chance to present it at LISA meeting. You can check the paper here. And the music is here.
Thanks to Marco Masoero, I’ve been invited for the Teknologhia cycle of events, inside Polincontri, Politecnico di Torino. In the occasione Carlo Barbagallo and Elaine Bonsangue have shot and edited a wonderful documentary on some of my works, here on YouTube. We discussed it live on 22/04/2022 at Politecnico di Torino.
With my pal Mauro Lanza we had the chance to have our Systema naturae cycle performed twice by the amazing London-based ensemble Explore, first in Den Bosch for November Music (three times in 06-07/11/2021), then in Huddersfield for HCMF (18/11/2021). Bonus! Impressive footage of the cycle produced here!
On 16/10/2021 I’ve been invited to play at Parade électronique, Teatro Arsenale, Milan. Thanks to the crew at MMTCreativeLab. I performed a set called “Paesaggio con figure”, with radio and custom zither (“cetri”). Live rec on YouTube here. Dialogue with Jacopo Panfili is here.
Periplo del Latte for prepared piano, composed for the Einstein’s Sonata project is out. Wonderfully performed by Luca Ieracitano, it has been wonderfully recorded and mixed by Carlo Barbagallo. On my bandcamp.
Azione improvvisa asked me to write a piece to be included into their CD First glimpse. So here we are with Scialoje altre. You can buy the CD or here it here on bandcamp.
