The original chants have been reworked in the form of a new electroacoustic composition that uses new technologies for the reworking of sound, overcoming the limits of vocal and instrumental performance, even if the nature of singing always remains recognizable, and indeed is amplified in the reverberations and digital treatment.

The possibility of artificially modifying the parameters of the sound (reverberation, dynamics, temporal durations) has allowed us to make the two musical universes coexist in the same acoustic environment, something otherwise impossible. They are joined, the only live presence in addition to electronics, by the voice of John De Leo whose extraordinary expressive and technical skills are integrated and at the same time emphasized in the overall organism, also through elaborations and spatializations.

We have created a unique and changing virtual space capable of welcoming sounds, visions, performers and audience in an environment conceived ad hoc.
