Costellazione Seconda

Daniele Lombardi

Constellazione Seconda is the follower of  the Lombardi 1978 "Costellazione" a piano sound exploration based upon a map of sky constellation, planned as the first step of a large work focused on the exposition and 'performance' of constellations maps, planetaria and maps of the heavens. This new work breaks up into 21 short piano movements, concentrating on incredibly short staccato notes that sting violently between fractured harmonics leaving plenty of momentum-puncturing silences to really heighten the sense of disorientation, as well as two long (over 20 minutes) piano excursions
