Una Corda Meccanica is a developed work by Fabrizio Di Salvo, which deals with the musical examination of the zither.

The zither is not played conventionally, but with 9 Servomotors and 3 electromagnetic Modulators. Digitaliy it works with Granular-Synthesis that allows it to have a macro aspect in the sound created by the instrument.

One could understand it as a sound-Etude in order to elicit new sounds from the instrument. The result is a sound field from a variety of colors and textures which gives the composition itself a very particular organic language.
