40 ” to expand spaces, sounds, images.
Born from the need to recreate our musical space, using constructively items at our disposal during isolation, looking for a new experience, which feeds on the contemporary and does not replace anything that already exists. We asked a group of 10 composers to write a 40” piece, which will be played in 4 different rooms and then reassembled.
