REDROCKS – performance for live video projection, prepared piano and percussion
The concert is divided into two tempo, in the first will be piano works of important Italian composers:
Richiamo di una gru nell’ombra, for piano-voice, by Massimo Simonini. Intuitive composer, free from any compositional technique, musician of Prepared Theremin (Indstrument that he invented in 2002 and realized with Bruno Zamborlin and BH auddio in 2006) and turntable. He is artistic director of AngelicA Festival – Bologna, Italy. The work was improvised in the spring of 1996 in Berlin and recently “translated” into a written score..
Per Piano, for piano by Fausto Razzi, a piece that provides the sole use of the tailpiece. Razzi is one of the most revolutionary Italian composers, a pioneer open to all new compositional techniques, leaving the performer some freedom of movement.
Six Encores, for piano by Luciano Berio, one of the most important contemporary Italian composers, six short pieces dedicated to the four elements and inquire into the most symbolic and evocative aspects.
In the second tempo will be a performance entitled RedRocks, for live video projections, prepared piano with red rocks pieces of Williamsburg and percussion. The music by Matteo Ramon Arevalos entitled Mantra Gita is translated into images by the performer Chiara Zenzani which will document the live visual transformation of red stones in their movement produced by the sound.
