It’s a very peculiar Concerto, in wich the audience takes part as a soloist, playing candies and kazoos and singing with the orchestra.
Sounds made by the audience following the score are indispensable to create a music otherwise impossible.
This is the idea of the 3 imaginary languages, i.e. a piece in 3 parts taking advantage from 3 new sound dictionaries, each one with his own specific marks that the pubblic creates in a decisive way.
