This is just one of the fragments proposed for the concept and creation of Elysium, a commission for a dance piece by CGJ (Collettivo Giulio Jari) and Cango Cantieri Goldonetta (Centro Nazionale Danza Virgilio Sieni).

In this piece, there is only contemplation: time and listening offer a sense of counterpoint emerging from a single voice, continuously generating and feeding back into itself.
Elysium is a place, Elysium is a state, Elysium is a transformation of our borders, allowing us, at last, to become part of a conscious sharing.

Elysium - mantra - ad uno stato di - (various fragments)

Leonardo Melchionda is a guitarist and sound artist professionally trained in the field of classical and contemporary music, free improvisation, electroacoustic music, multidisciplinary practice and philosophy.
Processing the guitar with refined electronics, translating the classical music forms into modern musical languages, setting the balance between musical notation and indeterminacy, stressing the physicality of sound, or enriching the musical performance with a variety of sensory phenomena, are the specific features of his compositional process.
