Salvatore Sciarrinos compositions for flute feature an abundance of unusual sounds inventively developed by Giancarlo Graverini, Roberto Fabbriciani, Mario Caroli, and now by his preferred instrumentalist, Matteo Cesari.

The sounds are not the result of abstract technique where the syntax might come from the outside to impose life, but are an intrinsic part of the structure where they are deployed, and which, to a great extent, they help shape.

It may indeed seem to be a surprising coincidence, to say the least, but Matteo presented me with his performances, independently, and I saw them come to life there before me. (Salvatore Sciarrino)
