Landscape Inside - I

Modest Music n.1

The Greek philosopher Eubulides of Miletus is credited with the sophistic argument known as the paradox of the sorites (heap). The most common way it is formulated is as follows: the first grain does not constitute a heap, neither does the second, and so on; thus, either the heap never forms, or if it is accepted that it forms by the addition of a given grain, it must be concluded that it was that single grain that made the heap exist.
The famous Dutch illustrator and engraver Maurits Cornelis Escher was a great master in the graphic representation of various mathematical and logical themes and paradoxes. Metamorphose II, from 1940, is one of his works that best embodies the theme of the paradox of the sorites. This is the work I have chosen to set to music.
When does a polygon stop being a polygon and start being the two-dimensional representation of a lizard, or a fish, or a bird, and vice versa?
If Escher graphically represented this theme, my work has been to transpose it musically.
When does a melody, a timbre, or a key stop being what it is and become something else?
Please, enjoy the listening and viewing experience!

This is my latest work, created as the final work of the intensive training course “Screen Music Program”, organized by two pillars of Italian culture: the Accademia Chigiana and Cinecittà.

I thank the tireless @Antonio Artese for his work in coordinating and organizing the course and I thank the teaching staff made up of first-rate members including Patrick Kirst, Lawrence Shragge, Giuseppe Vasapolli, Sarah Belle Reid, Jeff Wolpert.
The masterclasses held by composers of the caliber of Franco Piersanti, Mark Korven, Anna Dubrich, Reinhold Heil were also precious.

Female voices are by the fantastic artist Giorgia Longo
Clarinets are by the incredible Giovanni Vai

Metamorphose II

Soundtrack for a Videogame
This is a piece for a video game. The setting is an exotic, oriental imaginary world, so the music is full of oriental musical stereotypes, although it does not have a real correspondence with the authentic and beautiful oriental or Middle Eastern musical tradition.

Flying Over

Any physical manifestation underlies the movement. The existence of music, a favorite field of my personal research, underlies the movement.  Starting from the assumption that art forms always interpenetrate, and even complement each other when they border and cross over into apparently remote areas, I have strongly dedicated myself to investigating the inextricable relationship between music and movement.  To do this, I create installations, videos and digital interactive works that reveal relationships between objects that belong to different systems. I try to make the invisible visible, as someone said.
