Hybrid Cross-Pollination of Score, Performance, Installation and Technology
This article presents a series of works for chamber ensemble (incorporating both scored and improvised material), electronics and an installation of long strings. The folto giardino of the title (derived from Mozart/Da Ponte) is a listening, performing environment in which a dramaturgy of relationships, of knowing, hearing, understanding or ignoring, can be played out. Such an approach is offered as a way of thinking about form and material when dealing with the hybrid resources typical of contemporary musical work.

Works take their structure, material and performance dynamics (in the form of sound processing) from the music to which they refer...
Folto giardino I and II
Folto giardino I (graphic score for improvising ensemble) and II (full orchestral score) take the sonic drama of the last act of Figaro (a farce of mis- and over-hearing) to remap the dynamics and mutual knowledge of groups and individuals working independently, together or in conflict. An installation of suspended strings (performing as loudspeakers, performable as percussion and listening as microphones) constitutes the ‘dense garden’ that plays a crucial role.
