Abstractionism

Abstractionism” represents the second of the three volumes of pieces for solo piano and ambient/electronics which, together with Wish and Chasm, is enclosed in a – Trilogy Suite – conceived as a complete work, unified and coherent in all its parts. The entire project consists of the elaboration of a dramaturgy of drastic concentration of musical material along the lines of the manifesto pages of aphoristic poetics. The abandonment of thematic elaboration and icastic synthesis is accompanied by pointillistic, dodecaphonic cues and ornaments of sharp ambient/electronics. A numerical symbolism is presented within the work: this symbolism refers above all to the number of beats from which each individual track is composed (5 – 8 – 13 and 21); this sequence highlights the principle of Phidias’ constant of the Fibonacci series, deliberately representing an important structural element that gives a further sense of unity and suggestion to the entire work.
