Antonino Chiaramonte at the "L. Refice" Conservatoire of Frosinone. FLEE focuses its research on the restoration, in live electronics performances, of a fundamental musical paradigm: the relationship between gesture and sound, but also on a different paradigm, specifically connected to the electro-acoustic music, concerning the quality of the sound output and the control of the multi-channel sound diffusion.
