Battimenti
ANTS
AG 03 CD 2003

Pietro Grossi was one of the pioneers of the experimental musical scene in Italy. This CD shows one of his visionary electronic works: "Battimenti", an electronic work composed and realized in 1965, made by the 94 combinations of near frequencies, organized in groups of 2, 3, 4 and 5 sine waves. This coupling originates the "harmonic beatings", overtones born out of the intersection of frequencies.  Originally thought by Grossi has a "working material" for his famous electronic Studio di Fonologia Musicale (S 2F M), this work has, in itself, the ability to fascinate, as only the greatest artistic intuitions have. The rigour of Grossi’s working method creates an imaginary sound painting, that he later called "94 songs of XXth century’s anonimous". It’s a composition that anticipated times and was contemporary to other masterpieces of modern music. A real forerunner of electronic minimalism that later occurred. The personality of Grossi and his passionate theories and music, make his new discovery obliged. Limited to 500 copies

Pietro Grossi è stato uno dei pionieri della musica sperimentale in Italia. Questo CD recupera uno dei suoi lavori elettronici più lungimiranti e visionari: "Battimenti", un lavoro elettronico che Grossi ha ideato e realizzato nel 1965. Si tratta delle combinazioni (in numero di novantaquattro) di frequenze vicine organizzate in gruppi di due, tre, quattro e cinque. Tali combinazioni, proprio per la vicinanza delle frequenze, causano la percezione dei cosiddetti "battimenti armonici", cioè suoni "ulteriori" generati dalla intersezione delle frequenze. Nato come "materiale di lavoro" e di possibile elaborazione, nel famoso studio di Fonologia Musicale di Firenze


First released in 1965
