condition (book): LIKE NEW 27x21cm., full-color 144-page, softbound book. An essential publication documenting the visionary work of pianist, composer and musicologist Daniele Lombardi (1946-2017)! This volume explores Lombardi's ambitious project involving twenty-one pianos - a monumental installation and performance concept that exemplifies his expansive approach to sound, space, and the piano as both instrument and sculptural object. The book examines themes of labyrinth and Babel - metaphors central to Lombardi's artistic philosophy, reflecting multiplicities of meaning, paths of exploration, and the intersection of chaos and order. Published by Mudima, the renowned Milan-based gallery and cultural space founded by Gino Di Maggio, known for its commitment to avant-garde art and experimental music. Richly documented with photographs, scores, and critical texts contextualizing Lombardi's contributions to contemporary performance practice and his investigations into Futurism, visual poetry, and expanded piano techniques.
