about

4) M`A feb-dec 99 M`a is a montage piece based on recordings of Federica Santoro - solo voice -, fragments of rehearsals of Eixam - for wind orchestra, percussion and double basses - and fragments of my second string quartet.

I think of it as "theatre music", not only because Federica is an actress, but because the other materials keep something of their original context. With them I built a spatial structure within or against which the body of the actor moves. There is also a kind of theatrical unveiling towards the end. The syllable ma means in japanese the space, tempo, pause, rest and rhythm of performance, and in italian the but hovering between the yes and the no. Federica Santoro is involved in theatre and voice research. Since 1990 she has worked mainly with the Giorgio Barberio Corsetti Theater Company. She also directs her owns theatre works and collaborates with young directors. She practises vocal improvisation and organizes concerts with the Cervello a Sonagli association in Rome. Her improvisations for this piece are loosely related to ideas that we'd been exchanging over a period of days about Art Brut, Buto dance and performance in general.
