Histoire sentimentale des intervalles
LP out on three:four records, October 2026
with a text of Ryoko Sekiguchi and artwork by Karl Nawrot. Questioning seven musicians from the Dedalus ensemble about their relationship with intervals, Alessandro Bosetti asks each of them to sing four notes. On the ensuing harmonic chart, he composes a “Sentimental History of Intervals” for seven instruments, which explores a geography of musical pitches through microtonal writing and meticulous tuning work. The piece is built around the relationships between subjectivity, memory and harmony through free or synaesthetic associations. It traces the emotional stratifications, memories and idiosyncrasies that constitute the collective ear and musical sensitivity of a musical ensemble.
