On December 10th, 2021 from 10.30 am to 1.15 pm, Davide Logiri will give a musical seminar/clinic on “Harmonic complexity and tension in music”

Organized for the course of “Computer Music Representations and Models” and for the Master Program in Music and Acoustic Engineering.

Open in presence to all students of the course “Computer Music Representations and Models” (2021-22). Other students and externals who want to attend in presence must register in advance at the following link.

It is also possible to participate online without preregistration, by clicking on the following link 15 minutes before the seminar begins (someone will let you in).

The speaker will explore what it means to create an enticing musical narration by controlling tension and complexity in harmonic (and rhythmic) progressions. The seminar will also explore the role of musical structure in designing an emotional narration/prosody. The speaker will finally discuss the role of melody in keeping everything together. Davide Logiri will do so in an interactive fashion, while visiting various genres and styles of music.

Davide Logiri graduated at the Milano Music Conservatory “G. Verdi”, where he studied cello, piano and composition. While pursuing his degree in classical music studies, he also focused on jazz studies under the guidance of Diego Baiardi, Sante Palumbo, Antonio Faraò, Phil DeGreg, Dan Haerle, e Harold Danko. In 1995 he was ranked “best performer” at the Clinics of the Berklee College of Music in Boston, which granted him the opportunity to perform at Umbria Jazz Winter ’95. This jumpstarted his career as jazz pianist that brought him to perform throughout Europe, Russia, Argentina, Brasil and the USA.
