The tightrope walker

Year 1271. Marco Polo, still a teenager, leaves Venice with his father for a long journey along the Silk Road, a journey lasted years that will take him to China, crossing Asia, unknown places and ancient cities. Trebizond, Baghdad, Samarkand, Beijing up to Xanadu at the court of Kubilai Khan. Years later he will write "Il Milione", the story of that incredible journey.

Olivier's Way

Mode Seven I

Alone together or together alone, in its many meanings. It is a piece mainly in major but with moments of melancholy, between hope and sadness. About existential solitude but also about brotherhood, the connection between individuals.
In many parts a series of 2 very long, slow, and therefore difficult, violin notes beautifully played for me by dear @rosindust. Here the other collaborations with Tatiana: soundcloud.com/francescocartocci/sets/grazie-tatiana

Composition and all arrangements: Francesco Cartocci

Alone together - with Rosin dust

A little allegro for folk orchestra with a burlesque, circus flavor. On violin, as always, my dear friend, the fabulous @RosinDust.
From time to time Tatiana gives concerts in orphanages and asylums so she has promised me that she will play this piece soon on one of those occasions, hoping it will bring them some joy. I am very happy about it!

The flying circus - with Rosin dust

Beneath a marbled sky, the erg sprawls endlessly, its countless dunes molded by eons of relentless winds. They are linear dunes, long and snake-like, some reaching hundreds of kilometers in length. They slither across the landscape alongside one another—sometimes running perfectly parallel, sometimes converging, and sometimes branching off into patterns resembling river estuaries. It is a landscape in motion, appearing like a rolling sea to one who is patient enough to deliberately observe. Sometimes, when the sand flows in the exact right way, it causes a mass-vibration to occur, and a haunting, rich tone hums across the erg.
In the distance, the skies suddenly darken. The already relentless winds begin to roar furiously, bringing forth massive eddies of airborne sand. Above this dusty veil the blackened skies advance. Lightning streaks across the sky, rending it open into a storm the likes of which is seen here perhaps once or twice a century. Thunder crackles. Hailstones the size of fists pummel the dunes. It is an all-encompassing vortex of sand, ice, and blackened atmosphere. A shriek seems to emanate from
the very earth.
Yet, just as quickly as it appeared, the storm recedes, and the roaring winds that brought it forth usher its exit. The clumps
of hail dissolve into the unquenchable sands, and the dune waves resume their slow, deliberate journey across the erg,
humming as they go.

Erg contains a form of graphic music notation where shapes I have traced from actual satellite images of dunes are featured directly in the sheet music. These "dune lines" direct the performers to bend their pitches according to the contours they are shown. This allows the orchestra to very literally "read" the topography of the desert.

Performed by the NZSM Orchestra, October, 2023.

Until the very end

This is the second edition, full version of The Looking Glass, a contemporary dance suite by Judith P. Markovich, is a unique five-movement piece for 13 players: woodwind quintet, trumpet, bass, and percussion. The TITLE was inspired by the poet Dale Wimbrow who challenges us to listen to the guy in the mirror.
