Luigi Nono in San Francisco
After spending the weekend in Portland with my granddaughter, Gwyneth, her mom and my daughter, Jasmine, and her husband, Bruce, I flew to San Francisco. On Monday night (3/1) I went with my friend, Andrew Voigt, to the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and heard La lontananza nostalgica upopica futura (1988) by Luigi Nono.
Luigi Nono (1924-1990) was an Italian serialist composer and Italian Communist Party activist. The piece was performed by Graeme Jennings, violin and Christopher Burns, sound diffusion (i.e., controlling when and which of the 8 tape tracks to send to one or more of the 8 speakers surrounding the room.
Graeme started playing on a second floor ramp then slowly made his through the audience to various music stands around the main floor. With his motion and the tape sound coming from 8 different speakers the music was highly spatial.
