LUCA IAVARONE + ALBERTO GATTI [IT] /// Disordinata storia dell’elettronica (Vol. 2)

Is it possible today to compose new music? Can new musical instruments be invented or sounds created from scratch? And can technology assist us in these challenges? These are some of the questions that pioneers of electronic music have asked themselves. What we mean by electronic music? How should it be listened to? Is it meant for dancing or not? Is it music or noise? And why should I sit in a room, maybe in the dark, and listen to strange sounds emanating from one or more speakers? These are the questions that we will explore together with Luca Iavarone (journalist and creative) and Alberto Gatti (composer) in “Disordinata storia dell’elettronica” ("An Unordered History of Electronics"), a series of meetings aimed at presenting electronic music from a different perspective, without technicalities and complex philosophies. In the second meeting, we will delve into the connection between the origins of electronic music and the contemporary scene, with a special focus on Ligeti. Ligeti... Who? Exactly, that's the point – see you at the meeting!
Queste sono invece le domande che ci faremo insieme a Luca Iavarone (giornalista e creativo) ed Alberto Gatti (compositore) in “Disordinata storia dell’elettronica” (Vol. 1), una serie di incontri per mostrare la musica elettronica sotto un diverso punto di vista, senza tecnicismi e complessi filosofici. Nel secondo incontro tratteremo l’asse di contatto tra le origini dell’elettronica e la contemporaneità, con un focus particolare su Ligeti. Lige… Chi? Ecco, appunto, ci vediamo all’incontro!
