no sun, no moon – Chapman University

Gianni Trovalusci will perform again my work “no sun, no moon” for bass flute and electronic (fixed media), this time at the Chapman University in Orange (South California) in the New Horizons Concert Series, which features performances by six leading contemporary music soloists and ensembles.

Gianni TrovalusciThe concert will be the next Thursday, March 3rd, 2016 (8:00 pm), at the Salmon Recital Hall in the Chapman University.

“Starting from the fifties and sixties of last century, the flute became an important medium in the field of Contemporary Music, taking part of a musical revolution destined to change composition and interpretation and the very idea of the musical language. Italian flutist Gianni Trovalusci in this recital will present an exciting selection of contemporary music for flute with live electronics from Italy and other countries. Music by Walter Branchi, Jorge García Del Valle Méndez, Paolo Rotili, Kaija Saariaho, and faculty member Dominique Schafer. Presented as part of the “New Horizons Concert Series,” and is presented in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute, Los Angeles (IICLA)”.

My work “no sun, no moon” explores the duality of the combination acoustic instrument-electronic. In this work the bass flute and the electronics are two worlds, reality and parallel reality, two sides of the mirror. Both are the same thing and simultaneously its opposite, interacting and reacting one another.

Do not miss the performance of Gianni in this concert if you’re going to be around!

no sun, no moon – Bristol, Gent

Aeolian Progression is a duo formed by the flutist Karin de Fleyt and the composer David Ibbett, and they will be touring the UK and Belgium this November for a series of performances and lectures. This Tour will include my work “no sun, no moon” for bass flute and electronic.

“no sun, no moon” will be performed 13 November 2015 in Bristol (UK) at the University of Bristol, followed by a Masterclass for Bristol’s composers and performers, and 19 November 2015 at the Logos Foundation in Ghent (Belgium). Also 19 November there will be a lecture recital at the Gent Conservatoire for composers and performers.

Formed in 2014, Aeolian Progression seeks to unlock new sounds, potentials and expressions for flute and electronics.

Combining an extensive knowledge of modern flute repertoire with a unique fusion approach to electronic music, Aeolian Progression aspire to create works that embrace the fullest possible range of musical expression. Using the electronics as a ‘prism’ – the sound of the flute is refracted into diverse timbres, styles and textures which coalesce to create works of deep poetry and drama.

no sun, no moon – NYCEMF 2015

The next Thursday, June 25, 2015 (3:30 PM, Concert 15) Gianni Trovalusci will perform my work “no sun, no moon” at the NYCEMF 2015 (New York City Electroacustic Music Festival). The concert will be at the Playhouse in the Abrons Arts Center, 466 Grand St, New York, NY 10002.

no sun, no moon for bass flute and electronic - NYCEMF 2015

The NYCEMF is dedicated to showcasing the best electroacoustic music and video art from all over the world in New York City, through a multi-day festival. The festival includes electroacoustic music recorded alone in up to eight channels, works involving live electronics, works combining musical instruments or voices with recorded or live electronics, video and multimedia works, and audio and video installations. This festival will take place June 21-28, 2015 at the Abrons Arts Center and other locations in New York City.

NYCEMF 2015

My piece “no sun, no moon” combines the bass flute with fixed media electronics. The flutist can “read” the electronic, which is notated in the score, and follow it. The result is a sort of “chamber music” where one part is alive and suitable for interpretation and micro-changes, while the other (the electronic) is fixed and can not be changed. The work plays with different virtual acoustic spaces and the relationship with the real one on the stage.

The composition and creation of the electronics has been made exclusively with recorded samples of the bass flute. In this way I create a relationship between the two parts of the work: the real one (flute performer) and the virtual one (electronic).

Do not hesitate to hear Gianni play my piece if you happen to be in New York. It’s going to be an awesome concert!

no sun, no moon – Gianni Trovalusci, Università di Roma “Tor Vergata”

Gianni TrovalusciThe next Tuesday, April 28, 2015 (18:00), the italian flutist Gianni Trovalusci, specialized in the field of contemporary music, will perform a concert at the Auditorium “E. Morricone” in the Università di Roma “Tor Vergata (Rome, Italy). He will include in the program my work “no sun, no moon” for bass flute and electronics.

This concert is part of a series called Concerti di studio di primavera, which takes place at this university as part of the Master in Sonic Arts. Giovanni Trovalusci will perform pieces from different composers that combine the flute with distinct forms of electronic: live electronic, tape and fixed media (computer).

Trovalusci has been active since the 70s in the field of contemporary music, in music theatre and avant-garde performance. He has worked with many artists in this area. His musical research has led him to discover parallel artistic areas and traces, like theatre, dance and poetry, as is evidenced by the wide range of instruments adopted: modern, classical and ethnic flutes, new specially designed instruments and live electronics.
