| “ | "Music is seduction": without seeking to reduce the work of Luca Francesconi to a few diminishing maxims, this short thought undeniably expresses one of the important fundamentals of his art of composition. This elliptical formulation is for him the culmination of long reflection in a thought process that continues today. It began during his years of apprenticeship at the Milan Conservatory and was sparked off by a dual reality. On the one hand, the fascination of the Western musical tradition, and not just the works of the masters of the past but also the tools that this tradition produced over the course of the centuries (notably the instruments and, above all and most extraordinarily, the orchestra), and on the other hand, the pleasure of a creative energy free of any constraint, primitive and archaic (in other words non-reflective), which he found while playing rock and jazz.

Enjoy:
it is a rich and exhaustive experience, wich, in addition to the primary level of sensory fascination, also mobilises our brain (L.Francesconi)

I liked all the music I have heard from the Kairos label.
"He studied composition with Corghi at the Milan Conservatory; he later attended Stockhausen's composition courses in Rome and Berio's at Tanglewood, and then collaborated with Berio between 1981 and 1984.
You sure know how to choose them, ooliver. Thank you
