O', Milano
In concerto + special guests Luciano Maggiore ed Enrico Malatesta on John Cage
O' insieme a Die Schachtel e The Lift presenta tre concerti: Manuel Mota in solo per chitarra preparata + due partiture originali di John Cage eseguite da Luciano Maggiore _Fontana Mix (1958) e Enrico Malatesta _ 27'10.554'' For a Percussionist (1956). Manuel Mota is born (1970) and based in Lisbon, and has been working as musician since 1990, studied and experimented with prepared guitar and created drone-related pieces. Since aproximately 1997 he shifted his interests to the development of his fingerstyle guitar work. Luciano Maggiore (Palermo 1980) lives and works in Bologna. Musician and filmmaker, he develops immersive experiences in which ephemerality, illusion and monumentality coexist, contributing to the creation of perceptual displacements. Enrico Malatesta (Cesena, 1985) is a percussionist active in the field of contemporary, electro-acoustic and improvised music. Delving into both the orchestral and soloist repertoir, his personal activity and research is aimed at the redefinition of the role of the percussionist in different contemporary areas, studying the acoustic dimension and the material quality of percussion instruments.
