Aufgeführte Partitur

BIOGRAPHY

Alberto Marani, born in 1989, lives in Brescia, Italy.
After years of torment and exploration of various types of sound, he discovered a desire to research and express himself using a machine with numerous and complex possibilities, but limited by its exclusively analogue nature, a key factor that would also define the sound timbre and compositional method of Aufgeführte Partitur.
Over time, the instrument underwent countless revisions, always with an experimental purpose; it reached its final form in 2025, fully matching and responding to the initial idea behind the project.

Aufgeführte Partitur is Alberto Marani’s (also known as ‘Abo Authoma’) side project, characterised by raw, mechanical sounds, expressed exclusively through a completely analogue Doepfer modular system.

External processing and involvement via any other type of equipment is therefore excluded. This choice is part of the project design and aims to preserve the original sound characteristics.
The careful construction and evolution of the primordial sound transport the listener into a vortex of exclusive ideas, which are revealed as each piece unfolds and are strictly intended for this type of instrument.

The absence of digital memory and the intentionally basic but numerous features of the machine exclude recall and automation via presets and sequences. The performance therefore takes place through manual reading of a specially designed score, architecting and playing with the complexity of the possible internal modulations, aimed at transforming and sculpting the simple starting waveform.

ALBUM

artist: AUFGEFÜHRTE PARTITUR

album title: “Elegant Teleprompter”

label: TENREC

release date 12 DECEMBER 2025

Elegant Teleprompter is the first collection of pieces for Aufgeführte Partitur.
The result of a careful selection of recordings made over the years, they bring together different types of approaches that have evolved over time. Today’s compositional idea is not the same as the original one, and while listening, we can perceive the progression and evolution of the different working and arrangement methods that have matured. It is an interesting perspective, which aims to leave a trace of the explorations carried out over the last three years, a period of time that was also necessary to outline the final form of the instrument used.
