Pierluigi Billone
Pierluigi Billone (born 1960 in Sondalo) is an Italian composer who lives in Vienna. He studied with Salvatore Sciarrino and Helmut Lachenmann, and in 2010 he received the composer prize of the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation. Much of his writing starts from the physical contact between the player's hands and the instrument, the idea behind his Mani series. Tom De Cock of Ictus recorded five of them for Sub Rosa.
