Nylong Symphony

John Oliver

Nylong Symphony has been performed in Montréal and Toronto…

A spectral / cultural voyage through centuries of (mostly plucked string) sound, this extended work exists in several parts and is performed on one or more guitars and a synthisizer whose sounds are fed into two computers for processing and extending. Throughout my musical life I have played the classical guitar. And so its sound, and Spanish guitar music in particular, are imbedded in my musical psyche. Combine this with my fascination with middle-eastern and Indian music and you have the material for Nylong Symphony.
