Giuliano D'Angiolini

This album contains three new works by Italian composer Giuliano d'Angiolini, ')))(((', '7 flauti', and '100100', following his previous three albums: 'Simmetrie di ritorno' (Edition RZ, 2010), ‘Cantilena’ (Another Timbre, 2016) and ‘Antifona’ (Another Timbre, 2020). ')))(((' was composed in 2023 for four flutes and sheng or accordion, or six clarinets, and the version here is for four flutes and six clarinets. It is recommended to listen at high volume. '7 flauti' was written in 2010 for seven flutes, and '100100' was written in 2023 for 36 flutes. Both '7 flauti' and '100100' follow strict procedures of indeterminacy. Thus, at each performance they sound differently. Performers are Manuel Zurria on flute (Track 1, 2, 3) and Paolo Ravaglia on clarinet (Track 1). 

“I was particularly interested in the roughness of sounds, acoustic beats and combination (resultant) tones. These tones do not exist physically, they are produced by the brain: we hear them inside our heads. I like the feeling they produce inside us, as if we were a sound source ourselves; which makes us lose our distance from the sound and a bit of our own integrity.” - Giuliano d’Angiolini
