Caterina Calderoni

for violin, cello, and piano

I happen to visualize sounds as a colour spread by means of borad brush-strokes over the timeline. Its shade, although apparenlty even, discloses ripllings, thickenings and nuances that make it restless and sometimes violent. Like the blue of deep waters or moonless nights.

Caterina Calderoni

for flute, cello, B-flat clarinet, and piano

ca. 8'00"

The formal structure of this work follows a spiral scheme based on a sequence of four sonic states (A: resonance – B: thickening – C: shattering – D: echo) that recurres 4 times, each time in a wider span of time. Moments of suspension (Tempo sospeso) frame and break in this cyclic process in order to reveal the sonic substance from which the spiral originates. Just like the shape of a shell (murex), the spiral suggests an endless process “towards infinity”.
