The life of composer Luigi Nono is the story of a passionate fighter for a better world and a tireless seeker of new sound possibilities. Nono rose to fame as the spearhead of the postwar avant-garde. As a passionate communist, his music once echoed political ideals. But after artistic and ideological disillusionment, he radically reinvented himself. In Freiburg’s experimental studio, Nono created groundbreaking electronic works—influential to this day. A portrait of an artistic transformation.
