Inspired by Italo Calvino's novel Un re in ascolto (The king listens) in which he depicts the ear as a king sitting in his throne listening to every whisper coming from the different halls of his castle, this piece is a reflection on different characteristics of the spatial perception of the sound. A singer who has lost her voice, struggling to get it back, provides the sound material that is processed by the live electronics which builds up a resonant environment shaped according to the rare pitched material that rarely emerges.
