Description

Recording of Fausto Razzi's Progretto II, the revised 2006 version. It was originally composed in 1980 at the Center for Computational Sonology at the University of Padova (CSC) with the computer program "Music V." The work was commissioned by the Vience Biennale. Because of the technical and practical limitations of the early computer (eg. the PC was not yet available, the memories had very precise and restricted limits, the recording was still analog and finally the digital / analog converters they were not able to provide a satisfactory sound performance) Razzi considered a new version in "Csound" necessary.

Description

Recording of Fausto Razzi's Progretto II, the revised 2006 version. It was originally composed in 1980 at the Center for Computational Sonology at the University of Padova (CSC) with the computer program "Music V." The work was commissioned by the Vience Biennale. Because of the technical and practical limitations of the early computer (eg. the PC was not yet available, the memories had very precise and restricted limits, the recording was still analog and finally the digital / analog converters they were not able to provide a satisfactory sound performance) Razzi considered a new version in "Csound" necessary. This version - which corrects some inaccuracies of the previous one and therefore presents some differences as well - was made in 2006 with the decisive contribution of Nicola Bernardini. In the elaboration of Project II, Razzi used the same criterion used since the end of the 60s - Piano Music - to realize the structures of his works entrusted to traditional instruments. This criterion - which provides for the variation of a module-base (synthetically defined as a canon of durations with several voices) - has among other things allowed, in the case of Project II, a considerable simplification in data storage operations. All the waveforms used in PROGETTO II are of a sinusoidal type: this is a precise choice, mainly dictated by the will to limit the research field to the investigation of the duration of the sound / silence, completely excluding the timbre.
