An electro-acoustic setup that combines the sound of the alto clarinet with a no-input mixer, supplemented by cassettes, samples, and a few effects: distortion and equalization. A minimalist, stripped-back set-up that Paolo sums up as follows: ‘I believe that discovering the infinite possibilities of a few things that you know better and better is more interesting and stimulating than having lots of different instruments to choose from depending on the occasion.’
