Claudio Gabbiani
Improvviso
(2002)

Improvviso is based on the search for a different perceptivity in terms of a new way of listening; in this particular case, it is more appropriate to consider sound events rather than individual notes, since it is no longer sufficient to assume pitch level, intensity, timbre and duration as the only parameters determining the sound when timbre transformation and the spatial travel of sound are also essential features of the event itself.
It is therefore possible to talk of sound structures, since these comprise the physical parameters of sound as well as the definition of the musical structures in quantitative terms (auditory sensation of individual sounds).
The only parameters common to both traditional and computer music are the initial and final instants; all the music performed can be considered as a single event continuously modulated in a complex manner, thus revealing the close structural connection between the global form and its individual parts.
