"Giuliano D'Angiolini was born in Rome in 1960. He studied composition at the Santa Cecilia Conservatory in Rome under the direction of Aldo Clementi, and with Boris Porena at the Associazione Culturale Arcadia. From 1980 to 1982 he enriched his musical training by studying ethnomusicology at the 'La Sapienza' University in Rome and the Accademia Chigiana in Sienna. His teachers were Diego Carpitella, Jean-Jacques Nattiez, Ivan Vandor, Simha Arom and Gilbert Rouget. In 1983 he followed Karlheinz Stockhausen's classes in Rome, then in 1986 he studied computer music at the Centro di Sonologia Computazionale in Padua. From 1993 to 1996, in Paris, he was artistic director of the Festival of contemporary Italian music at the Italian Institute, and then worked in residence at the CCMIX from 1997 to 1998.

As a musicologist, Giuliano D'Angiolini has published many writings in periodicals and collective works on the music of the Middle Ages, contemporary music and music of various oral traditions. He is notably the author of two studies of Karlheinz Stockhausen in the periodical Analyse Musicale. As an ethnomusicologist he has recorded many broadcasts on the music of Flanders and Burgundy from the late Middle Ages for Italian Radio. He made and provided commentaries for a recording of Greek music (Musique de l'Île de Karpathos, Buda Records, 1996) then a CD-book on the same subject (A giorno nella gioia, l'indomani nel pianto: La musica dell'isola di Karpathos, Nota, Geos, 2007) and has also published work on Italian and Sardinian vocal music.

His passion for medieval music and for certain types of traditional music lies at the heart of some of his own works. His approach has led him to develop music that he terms impersonal, music from which any kind of development or form is banished. He takes an interest in low-grade musical material, in smooth structures, thereby evincing a predilection for non-narrative, non-evolving music. Sound, for Giuliano D'Angiolini, is significant in itself and requires both time and space to be perceived. A musical composition is thus like a window that opens out onto a landscape, whichever it may be. His works are played by many ensembles such as Alter Ego, Cairn, Chrysalide Ensemble, 2e2m, Factus, Le Banquet, Ensemble Modern, the Parisii Quartet, Art Zoyd, and at leading festivals: Ars Musica, Aujourd'hui Musiques, Festival d'Automne, Présences, Voix Nouvelles.

"Melaine Dalibert is a French pianist and composer born in 1979. After studying piano in Rennes and Paris conservatories (with Joël CAPBERT and Pierre REACH), he dedicates himself to contemporary art creation as a performer (première pieces from Gérard Pesson, Giuliano D'Angiolini, Tom Johnson, Ahmed Essyad among others) while initiating a persona composition work based on rigorous generative systems. Melaine shares preoccupations with visual artists such as François Morellet, Véra Molnar or Marcel Dinahet, whom he has collaborated with, and his music is deliberately emancipated from any narrative purpose in order to highlight combinatorial games vacillating between order and chaos. His creations have been radio transmitted (France Musique) and played in many French and foreign museums and contemporary art centers."
