"Intreccio Policromo" by Giorgio Nottoli
"Intreccio policromo" Weaving polychrome by Giorgio Nottoli (2013) with Francesco Prode for piano, gong and live electronics
The piece is composed by linking together two seemingly very different sound materials: the sound of a gong and that of the piano. The starting point was just the sound of a gong: the combination of it's frequency components constitutes the colorfulness of the piece. The exchange of roles and characteristics between the two instruments generates a plot in which the piano explores the pitches derived from the percussion instrument.

Giorgio Nottoli (composer, born 1945 in Cesena, Italy) teaches Electronic Music at the Conservatory of Rome “S.Cecilia” and at the University of Rome “Tor Vergata”.

The objective is to make timbre the main musical parameter and a "construction unit" through the control of sound microstructure.
