Toccare lambire (2021) ยท for string quartet and electronics
composed for and premiered by Quartetto Maurice
premiered on 29.10.2021, Auditorium, Conservatory of Turin (IT)
instrumentation: Vln. I, Vln. II, Vla., Vlc., Electronics.
duration: 7'12''
notes: Toccare Lambire explores the idea of contact from three perspectives:
1. Synesthetic contact: sound as something tactile and physical, that can be felt in the body.
2. Physical contact: the direct relationship between musician and instrument, focusing on how playing closely affects the sound.
3. Metaphorical contact: the point where two different elements meet, highlighting subtle or fragile interactions.
The work unfolds in three interconnected sections, each with its own character but linked through recurring gestures and techniques.
