Commissions to Tania Cortés Becerra, Brigitta Muntendorf and Wolfgang Mitterer

This year’s edition of the Biennale di Venezia, under the title Micro-Music, is dedicated to digital sound and to its production and diffusion in acoustic space using state-of-the-art technologies and experimental research. The festival presents a wide spectrum of the innovative stylistic trends and creative research of today’s international music scene, embracing installative, performative and digital forms.

The intention behind Micro-Music is to evoke music generated through microphone and to explore the microscopic nature of sound. It is a festival that aims to highlight the beauty and complexity of digital sound and of the new compositional possibilities it offers. The Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation finances commissions to Tania Cortés Becerra, Brigitta Muntendorf and Wolfgang Mitterer to create works for three different sections of the festival, which are Sound Installations/Sound, Sound Microscopies and Stylus Phantasticus – The Sound Diffused by Venetian Organs.
