Os invitamos a la proyección de un documental sobre el compositor americano Conlon Nancarrow. Jim Greeson, músico y profesor de Arkansas, ha tenido la amabilidad de enviarnos una versión de la película que hizo para su emisión en Canal 22 de México. La película, realizada en honor del nacimiento de Nancarrow en 1912 se presentó en las dos celebraciones del centenario de Nancarrow (en el Barbican de Londres y en el festival Other Minds en San Francisco) en 2012.
“I followed Steve Albini into a poker forum once, or I guess I happened into it, because Steve was already there, feeding punch cards into a one armed bandit. He looked over at Glenn Gould who was playing at a video game console and then handed me four Lps. The original recordings of Studies for Player Piano!”
We invite you to a screening of a documentary film on the American composer Conlon Nancarrow. Jim Greeson, a musician and professor in Arkansas, was kind enough to send us the version of his film made for broadcast on Mexican Canal 22. The film, made in honor of Nancarrow’s birth in 1912, was shown at both centennial celebrations of Nancarrow and his music (at the Barbican in London and at the Other Minds organized festivities in San Francisco) in 2012.
