Il concerto presenta quattro opere con struttura ed espressività diverse ma legate intimamente dalla ricerca per soluzioni stilistiche e tecniche innovative. La diffusione del suono viene effettuata attraverso gli Olofoni (particolari proiettori di suono di forma parabolica) che permettono una distribuzione direzionata e molto dettagliata del suono anche in luoghi aperti.
Il concerto è strutturato in forma di installazione poiché le luci e la disposizione degli Olofoni realizzano una scenografia funzionale sia visiva che sonora.

The electronic performance will be repeated the following day in two different moments.
