The Fibonacci Cave (Willy Merz) is a ten minutes piece for cello and live-electronics. The cello structure alternated moments of intense lyricism and virtuosistic transitions (double chords, extension in the acute registry, very articulate string hits), the live-electronics part is on the other hand made up entirely by natural sounds obtained via action on stones, and subsequent elaboration on a computer. They are almost never, however, percussive sounds, but rather long bands obtained with the friction and moistering of the various rocks. The musical structure is characterized as a game between acustic stimulation of narrow spaces, dark and subterranean, and more ample and serena moments. As a hidden voice of the stone and the mountain, then, that finds in the peculiar “spazio di Casso”  an almost natural location from which to emerge.
