One line

Filippo Perocco: Fiato

for theorbo, accordion, electric guitar and electronics

(2022)

The entire miniature piece, in which my usual »worms« recur (the debris, the »nenia«, the precariousness), is based on a quasi-vocal quality that persists in the relationships between the various instruments. A residue that wants to resist; a puff, a sigh, a thread of compressed air.

Each line is in a constant precarious balance with another, weaving a dust of resonances and alliterations. A sort of petrified and eroded madrigal, anti-muscular, into a dim candlelight.

(Filippo Perocco)

Fiato espira

aria spostata.

Soffio muta la candela.

Sbuffo sospira

filo d’aria compressa.

Pulviscolo d’aria liquida.

Ossido in combustione

Quando l’aria sarà più vicina?

Aria infusa, aria grossa, aria senza luce

aria tinta, aria interposta, aria lieve,

che si appoggia.

Breath exhales

moved air.

A breath mutes the candle.

A puff sighs

a thread of compressed air.

Dust of liquid air.

Oxide in combustion.

When will the air be closer?

Infused air, thick air, lightness air,

dyed air, interposed air, gentle air,

that leans.

”

Within the confusion of languages going on through today’s art (even through music), within the variety or even the lack of the rules that a composer has to choose or reinvent to impose himself, Filippo Perocco chose to put himself outside and just look at what happens. So, he weaves himself into the cracks of forms made stable both by traditions and avant-gardes, he investigates the space between the emission of sound and its manifestation, he observes the instant right before that sound is perceived, not yet as a tile of a construction, but already as an available material to invent new shapes. He places himself inside the disembodied area that prepares the knowledge and therefore he jumps right on the stage to tell us, through music, not the continuity or the essence of things, but their perpetual fragility and elusiveness.”
