Giorgio Netti on his cycle "L'assedio" for string quartet (2001/2008)

The composer Giorgio Netti (Milan, 1963) tells us about the creation process of his cycle "L'assedio" [eng., "The siege"], investigating a new physicality of sound.
The burden of the string quartet tradition together with the call for unexplored listening dimensions bring both, the composer and the performer, towards an open destination. What we previously took for granted is no longer so, and has renewed itself in the meantime.
