Work introduction
I first played music by Morton Feldman in 1959 with David Tudor; what fascinated me most about Feldman was his sensitive, gentle way of handling pitches. I found that again in Marino Formenti’s love of the meditative side of this music; in November 2010 I wrote a piece for him which could also be seen as an homage to Feldman.
The world it depicts – introverted, sensitive and focused on itself alone – is disrupted again and again by hectic, brutal events; that reflects the need I have to avoid absolutising that world and to refrain from celebrating mere submersion.
