Iancu Dumitrescu

Iancu  Dumitrescu  is one of the leading personalities of contemporary music, embracing both composition and interpretation.

He centers his work on the phenomenological principle, which Sergiu Celibidache made him to discover, and which Dumitrescu applies to the composition itself, and on the idea of acousmatics. Acousmatics represents for Dumitrescu not only « the art of disguising a sonic source » in a concrete approach, but the very metaphor of the sound, infinite, cryptical alchemy applied to the sound material.
