Kaleidoscope, concert 2

Kaleidoscope 

A series of 2 concerts organized at the Technology Laboratory of Technical Institute “Enrico Fermi” of Rome

Abstract

The Music is based on the harmony between Sky and Earth,

it is the coincidence between the disorder and the clarity.

This sentence, written by Herman Hesse, clearly depicts how music allows the dialogue between heterogeneous elements, channeling the creativity of the artist, in music gestures encoded in a structure. The scheduled concerts, want to explore variegated music languages, through the performance of musicians coming from different countries and therefore influenced by different backgrounds. During the concerts, it will be given an overview on some music genres of the contemporary music scene since the program of the events will include compositions based on improvisation, algorithmic and generative music, beat oriented music,  acoustic and laptop music. That being said, the didactic aspects related to these events, concern the strict relation between music languages and new technologies. (Paolo Gatti)
