Calendar of Music Events

Ensemble for New Music Tallinn and defunensemble will join their forces to perform composer Fausto Romitelli's remarkable and best-known masterpiece "Professor Bad Trip". The work itself has also become one of the most important works of contemporary music and was written between 1998 and 2000. Professor Bad Trip's the cycle is organized in a series of three “lessons”, and navigates hazy impressionisms of post-war spectralism, 1970’s Miles Davis and guitar-driven psychedelia. The music is highly reflective of Romitelli’s own life and studies, which brought him both under the shadow of Boulez at IRCAM’s electronic music studio, and later into Italy’s psychedelic rock scene.

‘Ever since I was born, I have been immersed in digitalised images, synthetic sounds, artefacts. Artificial, distorted, filtered – this is the nature of man today’, says Franco Romitelli
