Remarks, other info
The piece employs the Polysystemism (12-ET, Werckmeister I,II, IV, JI, Pythagorean, Meantone) and it is written for the project "Human machine", elaborated together with the conductor Andreas Luca Beraldo. The project, through a computer software elaborated by the Swiss Company Bashiba (Roberto Vitalini), makes the disklavier a "human" member of the ensemble, being able to attack and keep time with the other members of the ensemble.
