NOTICE

What makes a phenomenon (human or natural) unique and unpredictable? Is it madness? Is it luck? If nothing escapes the strict rules of Nature, why therefore do people act and react in an unexpected manner, or why even is the course of events sometimes disrupted? Some accuse the mystery behind it all, while others rely on God, thus leaving the human being in his wretched condition. It matters little to me. The reason why all this is happening is not the focus of my research.
I focus my attention on the process and I am impatient to explore the act that is at the origin of the fracture: the pulsation. That is what I try to describe by using the language of music. Here, a single molecule comes from the sequence of irrationality. Driven by the instinct of my hand, my aim is to analyze the aesthetics of the anti-logical and paradoxal contained in the pulsation. Thus, INCISO describes the instability of a moment that generates the interruption of normality. It is a piece that explores the uncertainty of madness, as a fragment of time that does not represent the end but, on the contrary, the beginning of something new; a gesture that releases energy, a single cell gushing pure light that shines in a multitude of directions, unstable and unpredictable (but perhaps, only on the surface).
