Note for non-italian readers: here in Italy, August 15 is traditionally vacation. Cities turn into void bubbles of silence and peace. No people call. Even phones are silent.
Floating in the silent bubble of August 15 in a city that seems to be totally still. Swinging in my hammock in a desert quarter, this seems to me the proper music. It is a piece by me, composed in 1980 as furniture for a void flat.
I play on the piano short random-generated diatonic groups of notes (from 1 to 6 notes each). Each group is played one time only. A 6 seconds echo repeat and mix the notes building melodies, form, rhythm and eventually emotions.
