The Boccaccio Project: "A Shared Solitary" by Niloufar Nourbakhsh, performed by Jannina Norpoth
Commissioned by The Library of Congress, “The Boccaccio Project” is a micro-commissioning initiative that paired performers and composers to collaborate while they sheltered in place during COVID-19.
“Over the course of the piece, a delay line becomes less and less distant as the texture becomes fuller, culminating into a collective sound. A Shared Solitary attempts to resurface the fact that we are all going through this together all over the world even though we might not be able to physically see it. ~ Niloufar Nourbakhsh
