In The Pool and the Soup, Alessandro Bosetti combines his interest in the musicality of
language and his predilection for “game pieces”. The material consists solely of freely
inspired speech and is organized by playing rules. A prompter instructs the vocalists via hand
signs, organizing forms like solos, duos or tutti and influencing musical parameters such as
pitch, tempo, volume etc. Bosetti is interested in the relationship between the individual and
the group – the “chaos aspect” of a group – and how structures take shape within it.
