An entire evening dedicated to contemporary musical research, including percussion, electronics, and new compositions: this Saturday, the 22nd, Digressioni returns to Cagliari's Ghetto, a festival dedicated to new musical productions and curated by Alessandro Milia. This time, the protagonists are Gian Marco Medda (percussion) and Pietro Dossena (synthesizers and electronics), in an event organized in collaboration with Spazio Musica and with the support of the Municipality.
The evening will begin at 6:00 PM with the talk "Composing Today: Between Writing, Performance, and New Media," in which Dossena, a composer and professor at the Sassari Conservatory, will discuss the topic with Medda and accordionist Luca Piovesan, illustrating for the audience the creative process of music today, including writing, live performance, and digital technologies.
The concert will begin at 7 pm, with Dossena and Medda performing two historic compositions: the percussive "Psaffha", written in 1975 by Iannis Xenakis, and the double vibraphonic "Omar", a work by Franco Donatoni dating back to 1985. This will be followed by "Mani. De Leonardis" (2004) by Pierluigi Billone, a very particular composition created using four automotive suspensions and the addition of glass, and will close with an original piece by Dossena and Milia, entitled "Margine Rosso", composed this year and performed using metallic percussion and analog-modular synthesizers.
