HGW Project
ensemble & electronics

Created for Palermo based FOLKALAB Collective, HGW is a multimedia music project based on classic novels by science fiction author H.G. Wells.
HGW combines composed structures and sequenced electronics with a strong focus on improvised instrumental performance – alongside these musical elements are visuals, recorded speech/sound and narration. The work is structured in a series of movements corresponding to Herbert George Wells’ novels:

  • THE ISLAND
  • INVISIBLE MAN
  • TIME TRAVELLER
  • THE WAR

The ensemble for the piece varies from performance to performance in terms of instrumentation and musicians.

In this performance Francesco Di Fiore is leading (in alphabetical order):

  • Mark Brocklesby, drum set and percussions
  • Francesco Calabria, effects
  • Neil Campbell, guitar and electronics
  • Valeria Cimò, voice and percussions
  • Nicole Collarbone, electric cello
  • Mario Crispi, ethnic winds
  • Francesco Di Fiore, piano and electronics
  • Valeria Di Matteo, visuals
  • Andy Maslivec, bass
  • Danilo Rispoli, live electronics
