Questioning the future of chamber music… starting from sound itself. This is how a concert without directly involved performers comes into being: instead, a composer stands at the control desk, operating a system that allows the audience to enter the very structure of the sound wave and become absorbed in listening. Acousmatic music is perhaps the most precise definition for this practice: it begins with recorded sounds, transformed through various electronic processes and projected with careful attention to the “direction” of sound, creating a fully immersive experience.

The original sonic material is conceived in three distinct ways by Okuda, Harvey, and Guidarini. Within a dense succession of processed, unfamiliar, and often barely recognisable sounds, there occasionally emerges the clarity of a human voice or an ordinary gesture which – transported into this new world – seems to acquire a heightened significance, drawing us truly into the very making of sound.
