Zone confortable

   
 

The score is mainly characterized by the algorithmic approach of the instrumental writing. Starting from this angle, wrting music becomes more a codification of different instruction, for manipulating musical parameters (pitch, duration, etc.), in a language understood by a computer. In Zone confortable, several rythmic sequences coming from recording of barking dogs are taken as raw material to be manipulated through a computer program.

By insistence and accumulation, the austere or more royster qualities of the barking dog's sequences are celebrated and puted to the foreground in order to serve large scale narrativ strategies.

“The idea of “musical process” is only a pretext which allows me once again to make visible what really interests me: the realization of a hidden strenght which is released only by a chaotic bearing away of the material, the rituality of its destruction as a discursive element and a carrier of form, and its resurrection as incandescent material, thus beyond all control.

- Fausto Romitelli
