Notes

Programme notes

Elements was written for the OMN (New Music Orchestra) conducted by Szymon Bywalec. It consists of four main parts preceded by a short introduction: I Particles, II Gravitations, III Ritual, IV Currents. The electronic part and software programming were realised in collaboration with Damiano Meacci and Centro Tempo Reale in Florence.
This work was supported by a scholarship from the Foundation for Supporting Creative Arts of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.
