The rich musical possibilities that this idea offered attracted me immediately. With Ed's … more

Clavirissima

Description: The musical idea of ​​this piece - apart from the ventral expression, direct and inexplicable - is the multiplication of sounds; each played sound produces a multitude of other sounds; contrapuntal, barely audible, fireworks, etc. As far as the technical aspect is concerned, the structure of the IT processes is part of the idea of ​​controlling a sound computer by something more imminent and more subtle than the computer keyboard keys, than potentiometers or a mouse. .
