A single architectural structure forms the basis of Network. Crossed, straight, suspended, dilated or compressed temporal movements constitute its internal and vital activity. And, as its name suggests, the elements that make up this piece maintain a network of more or less close relations between them. Network is dedicated to the memory of Fausto Romitelli, from whose work I have drawn certain musical objects and the interplay of intervals and harmonics that make up the material of this piece. I also couldn’t help thinking of the states of trance to which Fausto would so often refer in his work, and which resulted in his fascinating conception of the phenomenon of repetition.
