Purpose of the residency

Continuing the work made during the Research Residency at TWS in 2015, this residency will allow me to work on the creation and public performance of the work for String Quartet and live-electronics A BOOK OF CLOUDS. Together with this work another one, for amplified violin - BURIAL SONGS - will be presented at the Italian Institute of Culture in Tokyo. In addition to this event I would like to pursue a research idea based on the sounding places in Tokyo, continuing my series of field recordings about urban architectures.

Plan during the residency

In the first period of my Residency I will get in touch with the string musicians and organize with them the rehearsals. After, we will gather with Mr. Arima in order to make some tests with live-electronics.
We have a first rehearsal on November 30th.

On December 5th, we will have the first rehearsal in Agnelli Hall, the concert venue at Italian Cultural Institute, and the day after, the 6th we will perform the string quartet A BOOK OF CLOUDS, the violin work BURIAL SONGS together with other works by Prof. Hiroyuki Itoh and Prof. Toshio Hosokawa.

In the same time, with my assistent Paola De Santiago Haas, we will work at the realization of a movie concerning the creation of the string quartet. After the concert I will continue my series of field recordings in the city of Tokyo.
