Dj Ralf –
Claudio Sinatti – Tetraktis Percussioni
una
istallazione musicale - suoni elettronici/suoni ancestrali - stimoli
visivi, descrittivi e astratti - musica visuale - un “happening” -
Questa in
sintesi la descrizione del progetto “Piazzarama”.
Si tratta
di una festa multimediale in cui si incontrano tre forme di espressione:
la musica da ballo, la video-arte e le percussioni.
I
percorsi dei tre artisti coinvolti, pur partendo da ambiti di intervento
differenti, sono accomunati dalla forte attenzione all’interazione e
alla comunicazione tra i linguaggi. La performance si basa
sull’”interplay”.
Come in
una vera e propria conversazione i tre artisti intervengono, usando
ognuno il proprio linguaggio come supporto per gli altri.
Un lavoro
d’insieme che unisce la magia delle immagini di Sinatti, la forza
coinvolgente della musica di Ralf e la radicata capacità evocativa delle
percussioni di Tetraktis.
C’è in
questo progetto la volontà di una comunicazione del ricercare, si
racconta e si rappresenta la tensione verso un linguaggio nuovo, verso
l’interazione profonda tra linguaggi diversi.

Tetraktis
Percussioni - Biography
Since their coming together in 1993 Tetraktis has been acknowledged as
one of the most brilliant,
innovative and forward-looking Italian percussion ensemble by critics
and audiences of all different
ages and backgrounds.
Innovation and diversity of programs, insatiable curiosity, virtuosity,
infectious passion and fun,
and a substantial history of collaborations and commissions are their
distinctive marks.
The 4 members of the ensemble are virtuosos alone and bring their
individual character and experienceto the distinct whole of Tetraktis.
After their studies at the Conservatory of Perugia they took part in
courses and master classes of G.Mortensen, D.Friedman, M.Rosen,
R.Wiener, R.van Sice, D. Searcy, M.Quinn, R.Schulkosky, M. Ben Omar.
They have regularly featured as orchestral
percussionists in orchestras such as La Scala (Milan), RAI National

Regio (Turin) – Teatro San Carlo (Naples) Teatro Comunale (Florence),
Accademia
di Santa Cecilia (Rome), Teatro dell’Opera (Rome), Gustav Mahler Chamber
Orchestra, Luzern Festival Orchestra, under the batons of conductors
such as Claudio Abbado, Riccardo Muti, Carlo Maria Giulini, Giuseppe
Sinopoli, Lorin Maazel, Daniel Harding, Georges Prêtre, Daniel Oren,
Mtislav Rostropovic, Gustav Kuhn, among many others.
They are also much in demand as music teachers and presenters with their
highly successful educational programs. With more than 250 concerts
Tetraktis toured the U.S.A. twice and have brought their infectious
playing in major concert seasons and festivals all over Italy as well as
in Germany, Turkey, Nigeria and Sweden (invited by world leading
ensemble Kroumata in joint performances of Steve Reich’s “Drumming”).
Tetraktis commitment to new music have brought a breath of fresh air in

well as dance/theatre companies and directors Moto Armonico, ATMO, Bruno

debut recording “Millennium Bug” was hailed by Ennio Morricone as an
“original and heterogeneous CD from both stylistical and timbral points
of view, bringing out the best of the multiform percussion world”. Nine
years after such a debut CD Tetraktis have gone further on with their
most recent, adventurous CD “Drama” - a unique kaleidoscope of new music
and sounds featuring guest musicians and friends from virtually every
field of today’s music - and are producing new exciting projects.
More curious, passionate and surprising than ever.
