Space itself begins to Sing: The music of Luigi Nono

“But the extraordinary thing is that with these so-called “minimal possibilites” you can explore the space and succeed in making the space come to life doing it so that the space itself begins to “sing.”

Lecture at the Chartreuse in Villeneuve-les-Avignon (1989)

The “Possible Infinities”, Nostalgia for the Future, Luigi Nono’s Selected Writings and Interviews

A curated concert of fragments from works written between 1960-1985 –– this project involved a ground-up re-evaluation of Nono’s electronic schemata and performance practice, the synthesis of several fragments into a single concert experience, and the design of a dynamic speaker configuration encompassing (and expanding upon) the needs for each work.

performed by T.J. Borden (violoncello), Madison Greenstone (clarinets + voice), Michael Matsuno (bassflute), Charlotte Mundy (voice), John Pax (live sound), Isaac Roth Blumfield (assistant engineer), and Jelani Najee Surpris (assistant engineer)
