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.
