La prima musica

In Voce Triennale, our space dedicated to music and sound, we present a listening session with writer and author Nicolò Porcelluzzi. The event explores how our words originate from singing, taking us back to a distant time that separates humans from other animals. This distance is not recounted as a single event but as the advancement of a slow poetic and cognitive process, a tradition that combines celebration and discovery. Guiding us in this exploration are the discoveries of paleontology and the hypotheses of ethnomusicology, in a journey to the origins of musical language, without which there would be no humans.
