Maestro di Suoni e Silenzi: Necessary Nono 5.
This big-little piece asks for a contralto, flute (piccolo and bass flute), tuba, and a percussion sextet playing Sardinian bells, crotales and bongos, but also some complicated live electronic processing.

String Theory 30. / EA Bucket 29: Violin, sometimes with electronics

Mostly Symphonies 29: Keep Going, Keep Going… Two new Berio Sinfonias
