“Dialogue between Music and Technology” will show how composers transform the piano’s sound through the electronic medium. It will illustrate the different methods and techniques they use. This concert-lecture will guide the audience through a music and scientific journey through each musical work.
Pianist Tricia Dawn Williams will be presenting a selection of works for piano and electronic music in collaboration with live-electronics performer and sound engineer Giorgio Nottoli from the music conservatory of Santa Cecilia in Rome.
Composer Giorgio Nottoli
The programme will include ‘Risonante Notturno’ a live electronics piece by Giorgio Nottoli, a composition for piano and computer processed audio called ‘Traces of Spirit Whispers’ by Steve Antosca, and live electronic compositions entitled ‘Half [Way] by Domenico De Simone and ‘Aitsi’ by Giacinto Scelsi.
The performance will take place at the Music Room, St James Cavalier Centre for Creativity, during the second edition of Science in the City on Friday, 27th September at 7.00pm, 8.30pm and 10.00pm. Free admission.
