With the pseudonym arg, Graziano Lella undertakes a solo research project on concrete sound sources manipulation where sound is at the same time row material and result of compositional process.

arg’s compositional approach aims to the definition of a personal language and narrative techniques with the use of superimposition/juxtaposition of very different materials sometimes decomposed, other times reassembled or recontextualized. Such materials are a sort of plastic elements for the elaboration of musical structures in searching of a dramaturgic development through the strict control of the emotional parameters suggested by sounds.

One of the most important aspects of arg’s research regards the construction of a floating sound space through stratified textures which define, when they are thin, a sort a “materic vacuum”: in this case the detail/alphabet creates the form/text.
