about

Carlo Costa’s thirteen-piece ensemble Acustica is dedicated to exploring a wide array of timbres and textures with the use of acoustic instruments. The ensemble focuses on performing Carlo’s compositions which make use of a variety of types of notation ranging from traditional to graphic, along with utilizing improvisation to varying degrees and in disparate ways. For this ensemble Carlo picked some of his closest collaborators along with musicians who share his sensitivity toward space and sound.

"The title of this piece refers to the layers of sedimentary rock and soil, known as strata (singular: stratum), which can be observed as horizontal stripes of different colored or differently structured material in cliffs, river banks or in excavations. In this piece the idea was to utilize layers of sound in different combinations ranging from spare single layers to densely stacked multiple layers while retaining a level of transparency throughout. The recurring material is presented in different contexts and each time takes a different place in the layers creating the effect of a change of perspective in the aural space."
