Two Moons (2000)
for 2 Pianos and Electronics

"Two Moons" is a typical example of "ars combinandi", i.e. a composing technique in which different musical techniques become interwoven by different periodicities ("orbits") thus creating "constellations" with different density.
"Ars combinandi" is the opposite of "ars componendi" (in which each figure is subject to progressive transformations after each return) and has been borrowed from extra-European models, representing the same "sound objects" substantially unchanged by a morphological point of view.
Elaborating the composition on three dimensions (between the two pianos on the stage, between the two virtual instruments diffused by the loudspeakers "embracing" the concert hall, between the first and the second ones) made it possible to act also on "interwoven perspectives" that recreate in the space what in the score is originated from a classical macro/micro polyphonic displacement. The formal and aesthetic archetype on which the composition is based is the "Mantra". Consequently, the listener is inevitably led to pay particular attention to the contemplative dimension in which the elements weave on themselves tracing interwoven spirals of magnetic resonances.
