Marco Stroppa

Marco Stroppa (born 1959) is an Italian composer known for integrating acoustic instruments with electronics and computer-based sound processing.

Born in 1959. Traiettoria composed between 1982 and 1984 is a 45-minute uninterrupted piece for piano and electronics. Spirali (1987-88) is for string quartet with electronic projection in real time. The use of electronics is a constant in his work.

Reviews describe Traiettoria (1982–84) as a demanding 45-minute piano-and-electronics piece that explores evolving sound elements. Spirali (1987–88) projects string quartet sound into space. The criticism is appreciative but notes the music's difficulty.

For:Listeners of contemporary classical and electroacoustic music; curious concert-goers and students of computer-music techniques.
