A rehearsal of the piece:

The concert:

“Bisbligio qualcosa nel mio orrechio” is a piece that explores four fundamental aspects of music creation: Trans-disciplinary collaboration and co-creation. The role of oral music transmission in contemporary music. The ability of the musicians to improvise and react to spoken language, not just the writing one. Creating creative collaboration networks.

The mechanics of the piece: Three Mexican writers were asked by the composer to invite three other writers who did not know the composer. Each one wrote a poem / text for one specific instrument. The composer adapted the poems into music instructions and determined the structure of the piece. Then we asked six people (musicians and no non-musicians) to become the whisperers.The whisperers will read the adapted text to the ears of the musicians via microphones connected directly to headphones used by the performers. “Bisbligio qualcosa nel mio orrechio” investigates new forms of music transmission and musical creation strategies where musicians and non-musicians come together to create music.

“Bisbligio qualcosa nel mio orrechio” explores the possibility to liberate the musician from the visual aspect of the traditional score to focus on sound aural perception as a trigger of imagination. This interactions hopefully will result in sonic relation to others in a collective creative community. Bisbiglio’s music is the sum of the imagination of nineteen people. Special thanks to all the people that make this piece possible, poets/writers, whisperers and performers.
