Sven Helbig is a German composer who has made an innovative fusion of classical music with electronic elements. His work often explores complex themes, incorporating a wide range of influences, from orchestral traditions to electronic sound synthesis. He will present in Milan his major work, Eat the Sun and Drink the Rain, with chamber choir and electronic soundscapes. A poetic journey in search of humanity. The ten-part cycle ranges from the religious Kyrie Eleison to Leopardi’s L’Infinito to modern reflections on the human soul as a part of nature. Each episode describes human beings seeking a space of salvation, contemplating nature and immersing themselves in deep spirituality.

Another Milanese premiere is the set of the young Mélia Roger, known for her work in the field of sound installations and film design. Her art explores the sound poetics of landscapes, mainly using field recordings and active listening performances. Her research focuses on the relationships between human and non-human beings, seeking to stimulate empathic and conscious listening. The artist is convinced of the importance of participatory projects, which allow her to share experiences and knowledge through sound.
