Biennale Musica 2023: Micro-Music


The intention of the Biennale #musica is to create a new synergy between the architectonic spaces located on the western and eastern fringes of the ancient city, places that offer possibilities for open, modulable listening to involve the Venetian public in its whole living environment, in line with the desire of La #biennaledivenezia to make use of the examples of industrial architecture to be found here and there in the city” – this is how the Director of the #biennalemusica2023, Lucia Ronchetti, has summarized the project of her 67th International #festival of Contemporary Music that, in the third year of her directorship, focuses on digital sound and its production and diffusion in acoustic space through the use of the latest, most advanced technologies and experimental research.
From 16 to 29 October 2023, “the intention behind Micro-Music is to evoke music generated by means of microphone receiving devices and to explore the microscopic nature of sound”, in a #festival that “aims to highlight the beauty and complexity of digital sound and of the new compositional possibilities it offers”.
The artists invited, who come from all over the world, will present some of the most innovative research of digital music: “they are sculptors of new digital sonic entities, musical archaeologists in search of long-lost sounds, researchers into the mysterious, ephemeral and magical nature of sound, and creators of new acoustic incantations that will captivate audiences with their vast musical frescoes. The act of listening to digital sound, without seeing either the sound sources or the gestural context of the performance and production, invites us to a pure form of acoustic perception and to a new ontology of music made possible by the development of technologies related to the reproduction and diffusion of sound in space”.
Through theoretical and performative #events, Micro-Music presents the current areas of research into the phenomenon of listening, the verification of scientific data through sonification processes, and different models of biotechnology applied to the generation of sound.
