Amarres en el Puerto de El Musel (Contact microphones)

I decided, after looking at several of Martin's paintings, that I wanted to focus on that precision repetition, the light/dark alternation, and the subtle gradations of field.

The track is an improvisation inside Live, with one instance of the Buchla Music Easel (providing the upper-register track) and one of ARP 2600 V3 (providing the lower one), with Live's BrainDance and Squishy Beat Repeat effects to put in additional emergent rhythmic effects. I potted down both synths, gradually faded them in, and then slowly tweaked the filter frequency and resonance on the ARP, gradually adding in ore modulation from the ring modulator, then slowly removing it. The Buchla's variations came from tweaking the effects following it, but basically leaving the patch alone to imitate the regular ruled lines.

Beta_for accordion and pedalboard  -   released on CD "Sul Tasto" by Luca Piovesan

http://www.col-legno.com/de/katalog/gesamtverzeichnis/sul_tasto

"Beta" is part of a cycle entitled "Corpo è ferita".

The concept of emersion is at the basis of the sonic development of Beta.  The bellows as a lung distributes the air in the areas of greatest need creating, in this way, shadow zones, of instability.

We no longer sleep in the wind (2020) | Michele Abondano

Lorenzo Troiani is an Italian composer (Rome, 1989) living in Vienna.

His work, be it acoustic, electronics, theatre or installation, deals with the instability hidden within every object and it considers such oscillating and trembling nature as an existential “ground zero” of the human experience.

He studied composition with Salvatore Sciarrino, Rosario Mirigliano, Clemens Gadenstätter, Gerd Kühr, Chaya Czernowin in institutions such as Conservatory of Rome (Diploma), Conservatory of Latina, Kunstuniversität Graz (MA), Harvard University (PhD).

His music has been performed by different ensembles such as Neue Vocalsolisten, Quatour Diotima, Klangforum Wien, Quartetto Prometeo, Ensemble Phace, OENM Salzburg, MDI ensemble, Schallfeld ensemble, Curious Chamber Players, Quatuor Tana, Vertixe Sonora ensemble, Ensemble L’Arsenale, Ensemble Multilaterale and in different parts of the world: Italy, Germany, Austria, France, England, Scotland, Belgium, Canada, USA, Brazil, Argentina and in several Festivals and venues, such as: Wien Modern, Milano Musica, Musikprotokoll, Konzerthaus Wien, Auditorium Parco della Musica, Impuls Festival, Darmstadt Ferienkurse, Festival Ensembles etc.

He has been Composer in residence in several Festivals and Institutions, between them: Villa Sträuli (Switzerland), Künstlerhaus Otte (Germany), Schloss Wiepersdorf (Germany), IZZM - Internationales Zentrum Zeitgenössischer Musik (Austria). Lorenzo has also been awarded various international prizes, including the Impuls Composition Competition (2015), the Valentino Bucchi Prize (2014), the Förderungspreis der Stadt Graz (2017) etc.

Some of his compositions are published by Universal Edition Wien, Sconfinarte, Col Legno label, Austrian Grammophone and EMA Vinci.

The poetry of Paul Celan and Francis Ponge, the works of Paul Klee and Jannis Kounellis, the philosophy of J-L. Nancy and Jacques Derrida have a crucial role in his music.

He graduated in Philosophy at the University Roma Tre of Rome with Paolo D’Angelo and Elio Matassi, with a dissertation on ontological thinking of Paul Klee.
