Salvatore Sciarrino takes us on an acoustic/sonic journey that leads to the loss of common listening patterns.
Sciarrino has been a traveller and experimenter of perceptual worlds which he then turns into aggregates and sound architectures: his attraction to crystals and their chemical compositions, then informal painting, his encounter with Japanese poetry, classical mythology, the learning of the literary canon and his different contextualisation, and his creation of new sound spaces drawing poetic images to the point of “approaching silence” in order to regenerate listening, all between the courage of his own personal resolutions and the pride of tradition of a “Sicilian on the mainland”.
