Giacinto Scelsi, born into an aristocratic family in 1905, was an Italian composer and poet who carved his own unique path in the world of music. Known for his innovative approach, Scelsi composed over 100 works, including major orchestral pieces and intimate chamber music. His music is distinctive for its exploration of a single pitch, transformed through microtonal oscillations and harmonic allusions, creating a deeply immersive and introspective experience. Beyond his musical contributions, Scelsi also wrote surrealist poetry in French, adding another layer to his artistic legacy. His work, spanning from 1929 to 1988, remains a testament to his highly intuitive and visionary style.
