The first Electronic Nocturne conceived by Tempo Reale, the centre for research, production and educational activities in the field of new musical technologies Berio founded in Florence in 1987, is dedicated to Stockhausen, the father of electronic music who died in 2007. The programme features his last masterpiece, Cosmic pulses, the “13th hour” from Klang, a cycle dedicated to the 24 hours of the day: it is an oneiric trip into the German composer’s most recent electronics, to be performed in pitch darkness. It will be counterbalanced by Spiral, composed for the Osaka Expo (1968). Aidoru will close the programme with a very personal performance of Tierkreis, a cycle of 12 mystical and esoteric melodies, each representing one sign of the Zodiac.
