Young Musicians Award 2023 - scores

From an early age, the repetitive noises, efficiency, and rhythmic regularity of machines have been a source of personal fascination and constant musical inspiration. From ancient sewing machines to complex robotic systems, from typewriters to the most advanced computers, from the most basic systems to the factories of our time, machines create their own melody. In this work, the musician reveals himself as a mechanism of musical precision capable of interpreting a vast stream of "data," assuming the role of a traditional compiler, a program that translates text into machine language.
