How truthful and courageous can you truly be? – L’amour pur is a collaboration with composer and sound designer Victor Zheng for engineering and live electronics for the live performance.\nLiann J. Kang /// Born in Seoul\, South Korea\, Liann J. Kang is a composer residing in the US. In her work\, she seeks to direct the audience’s perception of sound and space altered by crafted sonic illusions. Inspired by her own synesthesia\, her compositions stimulate not only hearing\, but all the senses collectively to each awaken uniquely in response to the temporal art of music. Kang is a 2025 Tanglewood Music Center Composition Fellow and has received 2025 ICMC Best Student Music Award\, First Prize of the 2024 Sweetwater/SEAMUS Commission Award\, and 2024 Kate Neal Kinley Memorial Fellowship. Her works have featured internationally at events and conferences including SEAMUS\, EMM\, NYCEMF\, ICMC\, Napoleon Electronic Media Festival\, CHIMEFest at University of Chicago\, Sound Spaces in Malmö\, Sweden. Her primary teachers have included Philippe Hurel\, Yan Maresz\, João Pedro Oliveira\, Eli Fieldsteel\, and has previously had masterclasses led by Kaija Saariaho and John Harbison. Currently\, Kang is a doctoral candidate in composition-theory at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, where she also earned her Master of Music.\nElonora Claps [soprano] /// Born in Lucania\, she studied at the “G. Martucci” Conservatory of Salerno under E. Scatarzi and specialized with A. Caiello\, J. Fraser\, Sarah Maria Sun\, and D. M.-Dansac\, attending institutions such as the Royaumont Foundation\, John-Cage-Orgel Foundation\, Darmstädter Ferienkurse\, and Verona Opera Academy. Her repertoire embraces a wide range of vocal styles with a strong focus on 20th-century and contemporary music\, both acoustic and electroacoustic. She collaborates with composers\, ensembles\, and research centers such as the CRM in Rome and the Conservatory of Salerno\, and she performs regularly in international festivals and venues\, including the Venice Biennale\, Auditorium Parco della Musica (Rome)\, San Fedele (Milan)\, and the Abrons Art Center (New York). A finalist of the “Premio Bucchi Interpretazione 2015\,” she has premiered numerous works\, with commissions dedicated to her at SpazioMusica and the MA/IN Festival. Her repertoire includes works by Berio\, Cage\, Ligeti\, and Kurtág\, and she has recorded for Stradivarius\, Edizioni Scientifiche\, and Cesmel. \n\n/// Laminar Flow [performance] In fluid dynamics\, laminar flow describes the motion of infinitesimal layers sliding in parallel\, without turbulence or mixing\, each preserving its own molecular composition. Even at a microscopic level\, every section remains distinct\, yet the overall result is a single coherent flow\, shaped by the sum of its trajectories. This principle inspires Laminar Flow\, an electroacoustic improvisation in which three sound currents — Andrea Fabris’ drums and live electronics\, Riccardo Tesorini’s modular synthesizers\, and Biagio Cavallo’s digital processing — evolve as independent yet complementary layers\, intertwining into a shared continuum. Subtle timbral and dynamic variations shape a landscape in constant expansion and contraction\, evoking the tension and cohesion of a collective ritual. In this way\, the trio Haou Nebout envisions a sonic world where distinct musical currents intertwine\, echoing the measured flow of individual elements — a living space where sound is inhabited\, constructed\, and transformed\, and where performers and listeners become part of the same\, ever-evolving ritual.\nHaou Nebout /// is an electroacoustic trio based in Bologna (IT)\, featuring Biagio Cavallo (laptop)\, Andrea Fabris (drums\, live electronics)\, and Riccardo Tesorini (synthesizers\, samplers). The group explores the intersections of non-idiomatic improvisation and new territories of sound research\, developing a sonic landscape where the archaic meets the post-human\, and apocalyptic imagery evokes a return to the origins. Recently\, they have collaborated with the label Small Forms (Wien) on their first album\, released in December 2024. Since 2023\, they have been touring Europe presenting frontal electroacoustic improvisation\, multi- channel performances\, and sound installation\n \n\n/// Concrete Casings [A/V performance] The outskirts of Rome are dotted with intentions and ideas that were never brought to fruition. Illegal construction\, rigged contracts\, and neglect have resulted in the proliferation of abandoned construction sites\, destined to remain an indelible testimony to such errors. These dilapidated exoskeletons are memories like fossils from past epochs. The unfinished structures\, left incomplete\, tell stories of unfulfilled promises and shattered dreams. Instead of being vibrant and prosperous\, the peripheral neighborhoods host these carcasses of concrete and steel that degrade the urban environment and scar the landscape. Each abandoned building carries with it a narrative of corruption and inefficiency\, a story of betrayed hopes and wasted resources. The rusted scaffolding and incomplete walls are silent monuments to mismanagement\, a perpetual warning of the consequences of greed and negligence. These urban skeletons\, though immobile and silent\, scream a reality too often ignored. They are the tangible proof of a system in dire need of profound reforms and a new vision\, one that can transform intentions into accomplished actions and restore dignity and beauty to Rome’s outskirts.\nTouchy Toy ///  was founded in 2021 by Gabriele Petrillo\, Andrea Lupo\, and Matteo Camerini\, classmates in Electronic Music Composition at Saint Louis College of Music in Rome. In 2023\, Christian D’Amico and David Quintarelli joined the collective. Their work explores the interplay between technology and aesthetics through sound installations\, audiovisual performances\, and musical compositions. Inspired by a utopian vision of the digital age\, their style blends pop culture references with semantic short-circuits. Touchy Toy has presented works at festivals and venues such as Ladispolaneamente\, CIM (Colloquio di Informatica Musicale)\, Palazzo Brancaccio (LCF)\, Nuovo Cinema Aquila (LPM)\, and Brancaleone\, often experimenting with live coding. Their A/V performance Concrete Casings premiered at the Visual Sound Festival (Nuovo Cinema Aquila) and was later showcased at PatchLab Festival (Kraków)\, D-CAF (Cairo)\, Chromosphere at Fotonica 2024 (dome version) and Videocittà 2025.

SUMMARY:MA/IN25 - NONOTAK
DESCRIPTION:© NONOTAK [Eclipse] \n🎟 ticket in vendita su EVENTBRITE e disponibili in loco fino esaurimento posti\n▷ apertura porte h 20.30\n \n▷ concerto\nh 21.00\n⦿ Tomislav Oliver [HR] + Goran Nježić [HR/CH]  /// Percées de lumière\nper sax + elettronica + video\nsax: Andrea Carrozzo\nvideo: Goran Nježić\nelectronics: Tomislav Oliver\n \nh 21.20\n⦿ NONOTAK [FR/JP] /// ECLIPSE [►VIDEO]\nA/V performance \n\n/// ECLIPSE [A/V performance] audiovisual performance. Monoscreen. 2018 Visuals : Noemi Schipfer / Music : Takami Nakamoto\nNONOTAK ///  was born from the collaboration between architect musican Takami Nakamoto and visual artist Noemi Schipfer back in late 2011. The duo embodies that merge of architecture\, spatial design\, music and sound. From creating dreamlike environments to performances using light and sound installations\, NONOTAK present their own format of art to the world. Combining Noemi Schipfer’s experience in kinetic visual and Takami Nakamato’s approach of space and sound\, the studio creates ethereal environments immersing the viewer. \n\nPercées de lumière [mixed media] /// is an audiovisual performance by composer Tomislav Oliver (music) and video artist Goran Nježić\, that explores new sonic potentials of acoustic instruments within electronic music\, composition\, and improvisation. Inspired by the “no-input mixer” practices of Toshimaru Nakamura and Marko Ciciliani\, the piece investigates feedback as it interacts with the material “architectures” of wind instruments. Treating the saxophone’s resonating chamber as a feedback generator\, the instrument is reimagined as a modular system that transcends its traditional idiom. The visual concept draws on the Espace de projection hall where the work was performed\, its modular underground design virtually deconstructed and rearranged. A 3D reconstruction of one wall was manipulated—perforated\, rotated\, relit\, and reframed—to create shifting perspectives. Echoing the sonic process\, the video recontextualizes performance space through layered experiments with light\, shadow\, and architectural fragmentation. As an homage to Gordon Matta-Clark\, the piece explores the imperceptible and the interplay of visual and auditory spaces through the poetics of feedback and the stillness of noise.\nTomislav Oliver ///  is a composer and musicologist blending electronic\, noise\, and contemporary composition. Trained at Zagreb\, Salzburg\, Barcelona\, Graz and IRCAM’s Cursus (2023)\, his works span solo\, chamber\, orchestral\, audiovisual\, and dance contexts. Founder of the NAE collective of musicians and visual artists\, he teaches at the Zagreb Music Academy and is active as a director of Music Biennale Zagreb.\nGoran Nježić ///  is active as a filmmaker\, artist\, producer\, and musician\, with numerous well-received exhibitions\, short films\, video projects and music albums. He is the co-founder of the B.A.K.A. platform\, an association focused on the production of audiovisual works and cultural projects within the regional independent art scene. He is the author of several short films\, including the award-winning When I Wake Up (2020) and The Clouds Are Far Away (2021). As a member of the bands ### and Punčke\, he has released several albums for LAA and PDV Records and has performed across Europe and Asia.\nAndrea Carrozzo [saxophone] is graduated with honors at Conservatory of Monopoli and at CRR de Lyon under the guidance of Vittorio Cerasa and Jean-Denis Michat. He is winner of several national and international competitions. He was a finalist at “ProMusica” International Saxophone Competition in Iasi (Romania). He was 1st prize at the “Adolphe Sax” International Saxophone Competition in Castelbuono (Italy) and he was seleted to participate at the 7th Concours International “Adolphe Sax” in Dinant (Belgium). He has taken part – performing in Italy and abroad (Belgium\, Croatia\, France\, Indonesia\, Romania and Spain) both as a soloist and in chamber ensembles – in many musical festivals including: “Festivalul international de Clarinet si Saxofon” in Iasi\, “Festival Silence”\, “XVIII World Saxophone Congress” in Zagreb\, “Assoli VI” organized by Accademia Filarmonica Romana\, “EiSaxional Week” (Canary Islands\, Spain)\, “Festival 5 Giornate”\, “Jeans Music Festival”\, “XIX World Saxophone Congress” in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria\, “Festival di Bellagio e del Lago di Como”\, “MaGO Sax 25”.

SUMMARY:MA/IN25 - ROSSI | MESSIER
DESCRIPTION:©Elena de la Puente [Field] \n🎟 ticket in vendita su EVENTBRITE e disponibili in loco fino esaurimento posti\n▷ apertura porte h 20.30\n \n▷ concerto\nh 21.00\n⦿ MICHELE MARCO ROSSI [IT]  /// Cuoio | Suite Francese VIb\nper violoncello + elettronica\n      ⌾ Matteo Tundo [IT] /// Cuoio\n      ⌾ Ivan Fedele [IT] /// Suite Francese VIb\ncello: M.M. Rossi\nlive electronics: Gioele Nuzzo \nh 21.30\n⦿ MARTIN MESSIER [CA] /// FIELD [►VIDEO]\nlive performance \n\nMICHELE MARCO ROSSI /// [cellist]  has established himself as one of the leading interpreters of contemporary music. He works closely with prominent composers and has significantly expanded the cello repertoire\, ranging from instrumental music to avant-garde theater\, electronic music\, and video installations. He has premiered works by Georges Aperghis\, Ivan Fedele\, Bernhard Gander\, Fabio Vacchi\, Alessandro Solbiati\, Lucia Ronchetti\, Noriko Baba\, Filippo Perocco\, Matteo Franceschini\, Vittorio Montalti\, Federico Gardella\, Zeno Baldi\, and Pasquale Corrado\, among many others. He performed the world premiere of Salvatore Sciarrino’s Linee d’aria for cello and orchestra\, composed for him\, and Ivan Fedele dedicated his 3rd Cello Concerto to Rossi. He has also collaborated with Enno Poppe\, Helmut Lachenmann\, Unsuk Chin\, Klaus Huber\, and Ennio Morricone. Rossi brings his solo recitals to all major concert seasons in Italy and premiered Luis de Pablo’s 2nd Cello Concerto with the Orchestra del Comunale di Bologna conducted by Oksana Lyniv\, Goffredo Petrassi’s Adagio e Minuetto variato with the Orchestra di Padova e del Veneto conducted by Marco Angius\, and Sofia Gubaidulina’s Seven Words conducted by Kent Nagano with the Haydn Orchestra of Bolzano and Trento. He also develops cross-disciplinary projects\, collaborating with Andrea Camilleri\, Valerio Magrelli\, Nicola Piovani\, and leading Italian and international ensembles. He regularly participates in musical and educational programs on Rai Radio3\, and in 2022 he received the Abbiati Award for Recording from the Italian National Association of Music Critics for his complete recording of Ivan Fedele’s cello music (Kairos). Since 2023\, he has collaborated with Archi Magazine\, curating a series of conversations with leading contemporary composers and pursuing a cross-disciplinary project to promote contemporary music to diverse audiences\, from traditional concert seasons and experimental festivals to young listeners in schools and radio audiences. \n\n/// FIELD is based on the idea that sounds can emerge from the electromagnetic fields that are omnipresent in our environment. This performance reveals these invisible forces\, essential and imperceptible to the eye and ear\, which orchestrate our gestures and movements. Residual electrical signals are picked up by electromagnetic transducer microphones. Recorded beforehand\, they then become Martin Messier’s raw materials. On stage\, the artist interacts with two aluminum panels\, linked by a network of cables that he continually connects and disconnects\, generating a choreography of sound and light. From these repeated gestures\, a hypnotic composition emerges. Evolving in an infinite loop\, each iteration\, though familiar\, is different. The visual power of the work\, evoked by electrical conduction and lightning-like flashes of light\, plunges viewers into a state of fascination. This revelation of electromagnetic forces brings us closer to their mystery\, making the inaccessible tangible. With surgical synchronization of light and sound\, and shadow effects that animate a constantly changing landscape\, Field is a landmark project in Martin Messier’s artistic research.\nMartin Messier ///  orchestrates a dialogue between sound\, light and movement. His award-winning performances and installations (Prix Ars Electronica\, Japan Media Arts Awards…) combine technologies with natural elements – water\, smoke\, waves\, electricity – and explore the manifestation of physical phenomena. His works take the form of astonishing machines\, structures that appear minimalist or immaterial. These devices are presented at major international institutions such as Festival TransAmériques\, Trafó Budapest\, Mutek\, Transmediale\, Sonar and Nemo.\n \n\n
