Florence-based composer MARCO BALDINI — a member of BLUTWURST, the contemporary classical project researching sonic patterns and acoustics — explores contemporary classical music in a mix format. Piano playing that melds with hum tones, and drones that create an immersive sense of time standing still. A beautifully aesthetic sound that captures the intoxication with beauty and the thirst for stillness in the turbulent era of 16th-century Italy, where the foundations of modern classical music were laid.
