Haptic - Milano Design Week 2025

In the evocative space of the Listone Giordano Arena, composer and sound designer Federico Ortica guides 15 “musicians/guests” through a gestural language, shaping a constantly evolving sound flow that brings out the rich, resonant textures of the wooden objects.

Through conduction, the ensemble becomes a fluid sonic organism, oscillating between moments of intense intensity and airy openness, traveling through natural soundscapes and processed concrete sounds.

A unique sound experience, between improvisation and composition, where gesture becomes music.

Haptic, a collective performance based on the technique of conduction, a method of direct improvisation in real time.

In the mantic scenario of Listone Giordano Arena, composer and sound designer Federico Ortica guides 15 “musicians/animators” approaching a language of gestures and signs, placing a constantly evolving sound flow, enhancing the quality of the unique timbre of the objects in language.

The conduction transforms the whole into a fluid sound organism, alternating moments of density and rarefaction, exploring natural atmospheres and their elaborate concretes.

A unique sound experience, in a book of improvisation and writing, gave birth to a musical gesture.
