Reloading Vanishing - Marco Momi

"The Secret Door Opens if You Crawl Beneath" tells of a paradoxical and hidden concept, a precious heirloom for those who own it, a nuisance for those who don't. 
"The Secret Door" is the entrance to self-discovery, which is characterized by its infinite and often bizarre facets. 
Its achievement does not follow conventional paths, and is often distrusted by those who look at it from the outside. 
But with making ourself uncomfortable, aware of possible injuries, so "if You Crawl Beneath", the secret door magically opens, without the keys.

The Secret Door Opens if You Crawl Beneath (2022-23), for Maurice Quartet and electronics

"ANTIFRAGILE” is something that grow in the disorder. 
Uncertainty, stress and risk are all factors which antifragility seeks. 
Like nature, also humans can be “antifragile” by running into disasters, intercepting it and using it as a springboard.
Why protecting from disaster if  “disaster” is the way life is?

ANTIFRAGILE (2023), for large orchestra

Discorsivo è il mio primo lavoro per chitarra e mi ha condotto attraverso un percorso di " esplorazione e scoperta" dello strumento che è stato entusiasmante: nel constatare le sue possibilità - in senso lato - mi sono meravigliato più e più volte, ricordandomi dell'amore per la scrittura. 
Molto tempo è stato dedicato alla selezione dei materiali strumentali e sonori, tutti accomunati da una forte gestualità, orizzontalità e da possibilità polifoniche. Per possibilità polifoniche intendo la coesistenza simultanea di più gesti. 
Il carattere di questo lavoro è discorsivo, esattamente come il titolo suggerisce.
Discorsivo vuol dire che l'avvicendarsi degli eventi musicali ha un incedere "non comandato dall'alto", bensì più istintivo: se vogliamo, più naturale e colmo di nessi di consequenzialità fra un evento e l'altro.
Questi nessi spesso sono il risultato non di calcoli ma di pura immaginazione e di un approccio alla scrittura immediato che, contrariamente a come sono solito comporre, in Discorsivo è molto evidente.
