Carmine-Emanuele Cella (composer)

Carmine-Emanuele Cella is an internationally acclaimed composer with advanced studies in mathematics. He works on the poetical relationships between the structured world of mathematics and the chaotic world of artistic expression, using music as a medium. His music is not based on melodies, chords or rhythms but is more about writing the sound itself. Each  musical figure are the components of a global sonic image, unified and physical, that reveals the tragic story of sounds. His need for context-based music creation led him to the definition of what he calls musica hic et nunc (music here and now), a new paradigm where each performance becomes a unique epiphany that cannot be reproduced. This paradigm generated the cycle of pieces called Les espaces physiques. In this cycle, the percussions are augmented with innovative technology to create new context-based interaction models between the instruments, the performers, the composer and the public.
