ARMAROLI, SERGIO / PIETRO GROSSI - OSTN (CD)

"In the proposed version, for vibraphone and tape, I attempted to enter Pietro Grossi's sound spectrum of six Ostinati (OSTN) intended as moving soundscapes, maintaining the specific grain of each field as the centre of sound gravity. The vibraphone motor was conceived at different speeds for each field in the search for a vibrant and luminous sound, maintaining, within a sound unit of organic character, two dimensions: figure and background in the dialectic relationship of listening. In conclusion, the vibraphone is understood as an instrument of distance, in the absence of the performer who re-presents himself, in a path of purification, in the sixth ostinato as an improvisational body. What prevails is the sound of the vibraphone in the field: for Pietro Grossi." (sergio armaroli)
