- Program Notes
- "Grani" is a new composition that explores the concept of sound granularization through the interpretation of an ensemble. The piece is based on the idea of immersing oneself within a sound and emphasizing each individual characteristic, thus creating a rich and engaging sonic experience. Granularization is the process of breaking down a sound into small fragments, called "grains," and subsequently manipulating them. In "Grani," this concept is taken to the extreme, with the ensemble delving into every minute detail of the sound, amplifying its complexity and timbral richness. Through the use of innovative techniques and careful selection of instruments, the composer leads the ensemble on a journey through an intricate and fascinating sonic world. The various sections of the ensemble blend and overlap, creating a unique sonic fabric that reflects the granular nature of the sound itself. "Grani" invites the listener to explore the hidden nuances within the sound, offering an intense and captivating musical experience that pushes the boundaries of sonic expression.
