Description

Russ Jennings interviews composer La Monte Young and artist Marian Zazeela about their new collaborative work, “The Well Tuned Piano”. This piece was the culmination of a life long interest in just intonation on the part of Young which also incorporated the imaginative light art of Zazeela. In addition to describing this work, the two also discuss the influence that the Indian musician and teacher, Pandit Pran Nath, has had on their art and music.
