Tuning–in op. 2 represents the last movement and concluding fugue of the work. It is a polyphonic composition in which a short melodic theme is introduced by one part and successively taken up by others and developed by interweaving the parts in an impressive fugue for ghetto blasters.

 

 

The artist collective foreign investment has been for some years working on an Oratory based on its sizable archive of inspirational voices by artists and thinkers. This Oratory written by foreign investment for Venice is a semi-dramatic musical composition without action, scenery or costume.
It is composed of audible exerpts collected over years spanning the last four centuaries of absolute favourites from A to Z.

As always the artist collective foreign investment generates a lasting dialogue with their audience. Known for their provocative but always elegantly composed works, in Venice they’ll create an open space to listen and share other voices whilst the artist collective foreign investment remains in silence.
