• Program notes:

Synchrony and asynchrony, synchronicity and sound links: this is the reflection from which the piece was conceived. Can the interpreter – through interaction with a simple surface – symbolically (and gradually) "generate" the sound, almost as if undulating with it without boundaries?

With a completely "physical" and sensorial exploration, the musician becomes the craftsman of a gradual expansion of the acoustic phenomenon, which is discovered, built and enriched in a symbiotic and a-symbiotic process.

In a real meditation based on contact and fusion, body and music become a single substance, in a continuous flow that generates new sound atmospheres and further synchronies.
