Work Overview

This piece is based on a 1929 poem by Antonia Pozzi, entitled 'Lampi'

Lampi

Stannotte un sussultante cielo

malato di nuvole nere

acuisce a sprazzi vividi

Il mio desiderio insonne

e lo fa duro e lucente

come una lama d'acciaio

The work examines the contrasts of sharp and blunt, light and dark, dream and wake, sickness and wellness, action and stasis, which form cornerstones in the poem. Sharp moments of action, attack and volume contrast with the acoustic orchestra with the the sensual sub tones of the Low Tone Orchestra, a fixed media part of multiple low frequency sine tones.
