from SYNTHESIS VOL. 2 by International Compilation

/

about

Roberto Zanata born in Cagliari, Italy, where he also graduated in Philosophy. A composer, musician and musicologist in electronic music, he studied and graduated in composition and electronic music at the Conservatory of Cagliari. In the middle of nineties Roberto became active in Italy and abroad. He wrote chamber music, music for theatre, computer music, electroacoustic and acousmatic music as well as multimedia works.

“Nero siderale”

Second composition of my cycle dedicated to the color "nero" (black) after the first composition entitled "Nero metropolitano". It is written for 4 channels and mainly designed with the open source software supercollider. The techniques used are different, the sound material is partially the result of elaborations of samples and partially the result of synthesis techniques as well.

In “Nero siderale”, the problem of perception bounces immediately back to itself: if it represents the attempt to attest our primordial and original openness to the world, this attestation is however never complete, it is never completely expressed or expressible. Something indeed remains. This constitutive openness of the perception, which helps it establish its paradoxical character, is well expressed by Merleau-Ponty in In Praise of Philosophy where, in the pages dedicated to the philosopher Henri Bergson, is stated that reaching the core of perception would be the same as seizing the meaning of the world, but which, however, remains and cannot but remain a scrap in the expression of this seizing.
