This concert showcases three artistic projects born from Luca Piovesan’s PhD research. Central to the concert is Poliarmonica, an expanded accordion (with pedalboards and live electronics) developed over seven years to embody site-specificity, relationships, community, and ecological awareness. It serves as a lens into Piovesan’s doctoral inquiry on how such instruments can foster collaborative creation:
Raiz(e): A collaboration with Michelle Agnès Magalhães using prepared piano and small objects.
Poliarmonica: A solo performance enhanced by Benjamin Van Esser’s software.
A few minutes to silence: Featuring Andrea Mancianti on electric guitar and electronics.
