"...tutt'occhi" is a contemporary classical composition by Italian composer Marta Gentilucci. The piece was composed in 2016 and premiered on October 22, 2016, at the Teatro Comunale di Bologna in Italy. The composition is divided into three movements, each with its own distinct characteristics. The first movement, "L'occhio che vede," is characterized by its use of extended techniques on the violin, such as harmonics and glissandi. The violin is accompanied by a sparse and atmospheric soundscape created by the electronics. The movement is meant to evoke the feeling of looking out into a vast and empty space. The second movement, "L'occhio che guarda," is more rhythmic and energetic than the first. The violin plays a series of fast and intricate patterns while the electronics provide a pulsing beat. The movement is meant to represent the act of observing and analyzing the world around us. The final movement, "L'occhio che piange," is the most emotional and expressive of the three. The violin plays long, mournful melodies while the electronics provide a haunting and atmospheric backdrop. The movement is meant to evoke the feeling of sadness and loss. Overall, "...tutt'occhi" is a complex and evocative composition that combines traditional classical techniques with modern electronic elements. The piece explores themes of observation, perception, and emotion, and is a powerful example of contemporary classical music.
