Bussotti | Apology
From the perspective of the idea of total work of art that Sylvano Bussotti embodies throughout his career, cinema plays a leading role. Along with the absolutely avant-garde experiment of Rara Film (1965-69), Apology constitutes one of the most significant pieces of his art: filmed in Berlin in 1972, the film is a true rarity that has long been awaiting a significant process of sonification. This feat is undertaken by a heterogeneous quintet of performers, now widely accustomed to the challenges of Bussotti’s music and, on several occasions, dedicatees of his original works.
