Work introduction
The work is based on a network of text that Luigi Nono derived from the poems of Garcia Lorca - for a project he was never to realize. The work respects the literary texture that Nono created back in 1985, and it puts together its sonic structure using some of the last “harmonic” sketches that Nono made prior to his death in May 1990. The compositional work was guided by the idea of a song - for voice and guitar - which metamorphoses into a fragmented sonic object, an acoustic crypt-like space, moving continuously through time.
