Mark Fell is one of the doyens of European experimental electronic music. He has an experimental musical approach, in which sound becomes a means to explore perception, rhythm and technology. As a composer, sound artist and theorist, Fell has founded his aesthetic on the use of algorithms and generative systems that produce phased and fragmented rhythmic sequences, often contrasted with minimal or understated melodies. His aesthetic position lies somewhere between radical minimalism and a more conceptual exploration of sound.

Sandro Mussida from Milan begins the evening with Huit in a version for string quartet and live electronics conceived for the Acusmonium Sator in San Fedele. The composition continues Mussida’s exploration between form and force, visible and invisible, elaborating for string instruments the electronic material from the work Genius Loci (2023), written for modular synths in open space and performed by Nicola Ratti. Moving on the borderline between rigorous experimentation, innovation and tradition, Sandro Mussida’s work promotes an active listening mode, linked to the relationship between sound, space and context; between the acoustic/classical, electric and electronic fields.
