"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.

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.
