Twenty stones, after Bergson

Premiered on 1st September 2022 in Comune di Lavarone.

Kau Nga Ling (West Ridge) is the southern hill range from Lantau Peak, Hong Kong. Most of the slopes are very steep, requiring one to clamber up strenuously. Inspired by the shape of the mountain, I have appointed the ‘up and down’ phrase to the Xylophone. The piece is about my mixed feelings as the composer: scared of heights, tired because of climbing, deeply affected by the view.

Percussionists: Andrea Zamengo, Igor Tiozzo, Pietro Squarz & Alessandro Cozza

Conductor: Massimo Pastore
