Giorgio Nottoli

Compositions

        The major part of his works are realized by means of electro-acoustic media both for synthesis and processing of sound. The objective is to make timbre 
        the main musical parameter and a "construction unit" through the control of sound microstructure. 
        In the works for instruments and live electronics, the aim of Giorgio Nottoli is to extend the sonority of the acoustic instruments by means of complex 
        real time sound processing.

        The first work is an acoustic instrumental piece:

        - Tre Studi per chitarra e percussione (1969)

        The works from 1972 to 1978 are built by means of analog or hybrid equipment largely designed by the composer, among them:

        - Incontro (for tape and live electro-acoustic processing, 1972)

        - Ground I and II (for vibrating string and automatic control system, 1973)

        - Senza Voci I and II (for magnetic tape, 1978, in collaboration with the composer Guido Baggiani)

        
        The works made since 1980 to 1990 are built by means of digital systems such as the WS-8 (designed by the author, 1978–79),
        among them:

        - Figura (acousmatic, for soundtracks synthesized by WS-8, 1980)

        - Grid (acousmatic, for soundtracks synthesized by digital techniques, 1986)
        
        
        The works made since 1992 to 1996 use as sound generator and processor the microchip ORION (designed by the composer, 1988–90),
        among them:

        - Tre Microaforismi (acousmatic, for computer in real time, 1992)

        - Iki (for soprano and recorded media, 1993, dedicated to Michiko Hirayama)

        - Arco (acousmatic, computer in real time, 1994)

        - Ruota del tempo (Wheel of Time) (acousmatic, syntetic sounds by the microchip ORION, 1996)

        
        The works made from 1997 are realized with the aim of standard tools such as csound, DAWs, maxMSP, pure data and origianal 
            software developed by the composer: 

        - Archeion (for piano and live electronics, 1995–2000)

        - Solve et coagula (acousmatic, for concrete and synthetic sounds) premiered at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan 15 January 2000 (50 years of electronic music).

        - Percorso Incrociato (for female voice, live spatialization and recorded media, 2004) dedicated to Goffredo Petrassi and

        - Percorso inverso (for female voice, live spatialization and recorded media, 2004) dedicated to Agostino Ziino and inspired by Francesco Petrarca's sonnet
