Work introduction
Uranòs, a piece for bass clarinet, weaves together two fascinating dimensions: Greek mythology and astrology. In mythology, Uranus is the primordial sky, an ancestral deity and father of the Titans, symbolizing vastness and mystery. In astrology, Uranus embodies innovation, breaking away from the past, and the impetus toward freedom and individuality. The composition reflects these themes with deep and bold sonorities, evoking the majesty of the sky and the transformative energy of a revolutionary archetype. A sonic journey exploring the boundary between the ancient and the contemporary, the inner self, and the universal.
