Non è un compendio di etologia numerico-digitale

(It is not a compendium of numerical-digital ethology) 

Paolo Montella, Andrea Laudante, Giuseppe Pisano (1st Prize)

Words from the jury: “An immersive journey into the heart of imaginary landscapes, where digital beast-like creatures roam amidst plasmatic volcanoes, razor-sharp deserts, and diaphanous lagoons. What sets this composition apart is not just its sonic richness, but the collective spirit in which it was created. Montella, Laudante, and Pisano shattered the notion of solitary composition, opting instead for a collaborative approach.”

Through a masterful exploration of sound's primal essence, Killhertz crafts a mesmerizing tapestry of timbral and rhythmic textures, transcending conventional musical storytelling.”
