dal suo sito: STEFANO SCODANIBBIO, contrabass soloist and composer, was born in Macerata, Italy, June 18th 1956. In the 1980s and 1990s his name has been prominently linked to the renaissance of the double bass, playing in the major festivals throughout the world dozens of works written especially for him by such composers as Bussotti, Donatoni, Estrada, Ferneyhough, Frith, Globokar, Sciarrino, Xenakis. In 1987, in Rome, he performed a four hours non-stop marathon playing 28 pieces by 25 composers. He has created new techniques extending the colours and range of the double bass heretofore thought impossible on this instrument. He collaborated for long time with Luigi Nono ("arco mobile à la Stefano Scodanibbio" is written on Prometeo's score) and with Giacinto Scelsi. John Cage, in one of his last interviews, exposed the following: "Stefano Scodanibbio is amazing, I haven't heard better double bass playing than Scodanibbio's. I was just amazed. And I think everyone who heard him was amazed. He is really extraordinary. His performance was absolutely magic". In 1996 he has been teaching contrabass at Darmstadt Ferienkurse. He regularly plays in Duo with Rohan de Saram and, furthermore, with Markus Stockhausen. Active as a composer his catalogue consists of more than 40 works principally written for strings (Sei Studi for solo contrabass, Six Duos for all combinations of the four strings, Three String Quartets, Concerto for contrabass, strings and percussions, etc.) and he was chosen three times for the ISCM, International Society of Contemporary Music (Oslo 1990, Mexico City 1993, Hong Kong 2002). Of particular importance is his collaboration with Terry Riley and with poet Edoardo Sanguineti. In 1983 he founded the "Rassegna di Nuova Musica", New Music Festival held every year in Macerata, Italy. Sicuramente sono informazioni a te note, magari a qualcuno interessano.
