Nan

In the planning phase of this CD, which evolved together with the talented performer Miriam Garagnani playing theacoustic part of compositions on the piano with great virtuosity, it was decided to create a musical path that includedthe double version of two previous compositions of mine: Achernar (2014) for piano and orchestra and Nan (2019) forsolo piano. It is the new interpretation of two particularly relevant songs which can best summarize my musical poetics,experimentation and research work as well in the years 20142019,especially on the piano - but not only it, togetherwith several masterful performers.Nan (2019), for example, is a composition created for pianist and researcher Giusy Caruso, a performer mostly committedto playing music of the present day. That composition is proposed on the CD both in the original 2019 version for solopiano and in the 2024 version for spatialized piano, while Achernar (2014), originally composed for piano and orchestra,is presented in two recent 2024 versions, the first one for spatialized piano and the second one for piano and 'imaginaryorchestra.' The second version has been a chiseled work in which we wanted to recreate a sort of electronic orchestrastarting from the acoustic sound of prerecordedand electronically processed piano. With the aim of achieving that particularsound result, we worked on modifying the previously recorded audio material with the help of various sophisticatedaudio editing tools.
