Baldi / Divertimento Ensemble / Mayr - Bonsai - Music & Performance - CD

Without hesitation, in these six pieces Zeno Baldi takes us into the realm of listening and attention, not imposing them on us as dogmas or as narrated and fossilized history, but inviting us to consider the infinitely small, the precarious, the unstable, the fragmented, the recomposed as "places" to live in, to occupy with the body, more than to understand. The music of Zeno Baldi tells us nothing, but faces us with our being, our being precisely there, in the phenomenon that it achieves and completes in our ears; it enables us to live the most insignificant complexities of the material at the moment when it becomes another, transmuted into "clean" and definite objects, into primary pulsations, into apparently familiar figures, into new surfaces. Zeno Baldi (b. 1988, Verona) is an Italian composer, who graduated from the Kunstuniversität Graz and the Conservatory in Milan. He writes for acoustic instruments and various kinds of electronic devices, and is also active as a performer and sound designer for mixed media. His music has been presented at festivals such as MATA (New York), Rondò (Milan), London Ear Festival, Firenzesuonacontemporanea, Smog (Bruxelles), and performed by instrumental groups including Ensemble Linea, Ensemble Zeitfluss, Divertimento Ensemble (composer in residence 2017), Orchestra del Teatro la Fenice, OPV Orchestra, and soloists such as Heather Roche, Marco Fusi, Manu Mayr.
