Taukay International Competition Città di Udine

I’m glad to announce that my piece “For Hannah” was chosen as finalist at the International composition competition Città di Udine – 2018, Electroacoustic section and it will be performed at the festival “Contemporanea” in October 2018 in Udine (Italy). The competition was organized by TEM – Taukay Edizioni Musicali e Delta Produzioni Associazione Culturale to whom I’d like to say thanks. Congrats to all the winners!

For Hannah is a piece dedicated to the king cobra (Ophiophagus Hannah), its behavior and its sounds. I decided to write a composition about this animal because the first time I heard its hiss I was surprised by how it could seem a musical phrasing. Forcing this comparison, I asked myself: do cobras play electro-acoustic music?
