An XL-format season with nine appointments from January to May2025 and the presence of some of the most representative personalities of experimental electronics, creators of compositional models that have generated different developments in subsequent generations. The research, which over time becomes invention and artistic concretion, stabilizes as a root from which variants and multiple branches depart, sometimes conforming to the original layers, in other cases in derived figures with considerable and unpredictable mutations. The internal vitality of art that germinates new forms and genres in the succession of generations, but that lets one glimpse close or distant kinship relations between successive shoots, in a game of appearances and disappearances of more or less deep roots and more or less fruitful saplings. The program features live performances by artists divided into four groups: pioneers of experimentation (Tod Dockstader, Mike Paradinas, Mark Fell, Leafcutter John, Sunroof); experimentation and anchors in tradition (Adam Wiltzie, Sven Helbig); middle generation (Chloé Thévenin, Lee Gamble, Mathew Jonson, Sandro Mussida); and latest generation (upsammy, Margaux Gazur, Mélia Roger), all three of whom were born in 1996. At the center of the programming is the sacred performance Crucifixus in the Church of San Fedele on March 24 with the Varese Chamber Choir, directed by Gabriele Conti, percussionist Simone Beneventi and the Ars Discantica duo. Beginning with three versions of Antonio Lotti’s Crucifixus (1667-1740), one for six voices, the second for eight voices and the last for ten voices, a journey on the Passion of Jesus is created with interventions of percussion instruments from the Orthodox tradition, such as the Semantron and Crotali, and resonances reworked in live electronics. Other compositions from the sacred choral repertoire are integrated: the Triodion and Summa by Arvo Pärt and the Miserere by Gregorio Allegri.
