The release of this CD celebrates Aldo Clementi’s 75th birthday in 2010. Clementi is one of the remaining living composers of the Italian avant-garde generation, which included Berio, Nono and Maderna.
Clementi’s works for flute (including works for multiple flutes and flute with tape) are performed by one of his long-time collaborators, Roberto Fabbriciani, some of these works were written for or dedicated to him. Many of these works utilize Clementi’s signature explorations of the canon form, and acoustic illusions inspired by his fascination with the optical illusions in absurd spaces created by M.C. Escher.
Tape parts have been restored with greater detail and spatial effect by Alvise Vidolin.
