Domenico Guaccero, Italian composer and music theorist, and surely one of the most representative musicians of the New Music movement of the 1960s and 1970s. He was active in difficult times for Italy’s musical scene and shined as an example of coherence in sustaining his ideas. Many of today composers are indebted to his experimentation and teaching. His commitment to the renewal of musical language is apparent in many ways and his extraordinary interest in experimentation led him to undertake numerous initiatives and to advocate bold innovations with regard to the institutional channels of the diffusion of music in Italy.
