Casa Ricordi è storicamente legata al grande repertorio operistico, ma anche alle avanguardie e alle sperimentazioni elettroniche. La tecnologia interagisce e trasforma la scrittura musicale, costruendo nel tempo un repertorio vario e diversificato che si apre a sonorità e spazi inediti.  

Vi presentiamo qui una selezione delle creazioni con elettronica eseguite in prima assoluta tra il 2020 e il 2021 e concepite per una dimensione cameristica. Un mosaico di linguaggi e ricerche sonore differenti.
