  • Aired on May 25th 15:00 CEST 2024
  • The Night’s Music
  • Genre: Live Performance
  • Duration: 30 min
  • Streaming live from: Institute of Sonology, New Music Lab
  • 'The Night's Music' is a "carte blanche" concert for piano and electronics with a multipolar vision, conceived by the Italian-Egyptian artist/composer A2 Abd El Monim, born Alan Abd El Monim, and the Italian pianist Mattia Barbagallo. The two artists offer an interpretation of the light/dark, play of shadows, and colors of the night that are encapsulated in the poetic "dark" of artist A2 Abd El Monim.

    The project was conceived with the intention of exploring the history of “musica d'arte," traversing different eras and aesthetics with a common thread that runs through all compositions: nocturnal nuances. Starting from Baroque music, passing through Romanticism, and reaching contemporary Musica di Creazione, the concert program will include pieces for solo piano, interspersed with “iperludi", or electroacoustic interludes that bridge the end of one composition with the beginning of the next, leading up to a piece for piano and electronics.

    On the occasion of the Festival On Air - On Site, only an excerpt will be played.

    Iperludio 1 - A2 Abd El Monim
    Béla Bartók- Night Music
    Iperludio 2 - A2 Abd El Monim
    György Ligeti - Musica ricarcata nº2
    Iperludio 3 - A2 Abd El Monim

A2 Abd El Monim

A2 Abd El Monim, born Alan Abd El Monim, is an italian-egyptian artist/composer. He expresses himself through the creation of music ranging from electronic to purely instrumental, and through the interaction between the arts. His poetics opens in a “dark” dimension that considers and interprets the facts through the notion of shadows and darkness but also through penombre. His “dark” vision stands as a filter through which he reads the world and its interactions, therefore using also the notion of light. His music has been performed in Festivals including Musica d’arte (Riccione – Italy), Luci d’Artista (Salerno – Italy), GAMO (Firenze – Italy), Spazio Musica (Cagliari – Italy), On Air – On site (Den Haag – Netherlands), Sound Spaces (Malmö – Sweden), etc.

He composed songs for the solo exhibition “La pelle degli oggetti” and for works Lui&Lei by the artist Giovanni Oberti. In 2020 he undertook a collaboration with the poet Milo De Angelis , putting to music the lyric “A volte , sull’orlo della notte, si rimane sospesi”. He wrote music for several theatre performances by director Emily Tartamelli and has written music for several directors films including Reto Gelshorn, Enea Francia, Paola Piscitelli and Fabio Corbellini. He collaborated with the London based fashion brand B DODI and was invited as an artist to participate in the collective exhibition “Instructions to Light-Keepers” (Milano – Italy). In March 2023, “Periodo Nero”, its interactive and generative installation music and video, was selected for the tribute to Picasso in the city of Florence, will be presented at the Certosa of Florence in September of the same year. In 2017 he won the International Competition of Composizione Silenzio Musica, in 2020 the diploma from President and Artistic Director of Winterreise International Composition Competition Moscow, in 2021 the Call For Scores banned by the Cultural Association Esecutori di Metallo su Carta.
