Composer

Andrea Molino’s main field of interest is innovative, multimedia oriented music theatre; an important role is played by the the involvement of new communication technology as a central element of the theatrical and musical language.   
                                                                                                                                       
the smiling carcass – his first full evening music theatre – is a critical look at the effects of advertising, Those Who Speak In A Faint Voice a disturbing video project about the death penalty (both projects in collaboration with Olivero Toscani). The central theme of his large scale multimedia music theatre work CREDO (premiered at the Staatstheater Karlsruhe, April 30, 2004, further performances in Rome and Brisbane) are ethnic and religious conflicts. His multimedia action WINNERS explores the culture of victory (World Premiere at the Brisbane Festival in July 2006, European Premiere in Paris (Centre Pompidou) in October 2006).
 

The multimedia staged concert un Temps vécu, ou qui pourrait l'être has had its World Premiere in 2008 at Le Fresnoy, in Lille, where Molino was "Invited Artist" for the season 2007-2008. Of Flowers And Flames, a multimedia concert, was premiered in Venice (Basilica dei Frari) in 2009, and Three Mile Island, a multimedia staged concert, was first performed at Karlsruhe on March 29, 2012. His most recent opera, – there is no why here –, was premiered at the Teatro Comunale di Bologna in 2014 and revived in May 2015 in Antwerp at deSingel for the Vlaamse Opera (Opera XXI Festival) with the Brussels Philharmonic.
 
In November 2021 The Garden of Forking Paths was premiered at Palazzo Madama in Turin; the project has been the first public implementation of the SWARMS platform, developed with the Centro di Ricerche RAI in Turin. The installation The sense of the place - Montepulciano accompanied the 2022 edition of the Cantiere Internazionale d'Arte di Montepulciano.
 
La vérité, pas toute, for 32 voices, 8 percussions, electronics and video was premiered in July 2023 at the Chigiana International Festival in Siena.

n his catalogue the entire range of instrumentations can be found: orchestral works as well as pieces for ensemble and chamber music. Working with live electronics is an important aspect of his creativity, and he developed (with Holger Stenschke) the interactive multimedia system MeRit especially for live performances.

  
His works are published by RAI COM, Nuova Stradivarius and Ricordi (Milan). Many of them are available on CD and DVD.
