ATTACCA – Festival for Contemporary Music

An exercise in silence, identity suspension and speechlessness. Just as emojis do not convey any concrete meaning but function as symbols, Pietro Elia Barcellona attempts in this piece to make the double bass and the sound space sound like something absent, unidentifiable, unspoken.

As part of «ATTACCA – Festival for Contemporary Music» at the FHNW Academy of Music in Basel, students from the fields of audio design, composition, open creation and contemporary music present their current artistic projects. The programme includes original compositions, performances, improvisations and works by contemporary composers. The concerts take place over several days in different formats and with different line-ups.
