Miles Cooper Seaton Transient Music (Cafe Oto , London, 2016), bis.jpg

Tobia Poltronieri (he/him) and Alessandro Cau (he/him) perform “Transient Music #2”, an installation-performance by American composer and performer Miles Cooper Seaton (1981–2021), co-founder of the experimental band Akron/Family and a key figure in the American avant-garde music scene.

Premiered in Los Angeles ten years ago, the piece is designed as a site-specific and variable format, to be reinterpreted in relation to the context and the artists involved. At Electropark 2025, it becomes a collective experience of deep listening, presence and transformation, unfolding in the Teatrino of Palazzo Ducale with the participation of students from the Electronic Music course at the Niccolò Paganini Conservatory in Genoa.

The performance also includes the first playback of a live recording from Café Oto in London and a Real Listening Practice — a meditative sonic exercise developed by Cooper Seaton as a tool for attunement to sound and others.
