About After Nan Shepherd
Other “After Nan Shepherd” is presented in New York at ISSUE Project Room, in a live format that treats the room itself as part of the piece. Featured performers include Nate Wooley, Joan La Barbara, and Yarn/Wire, whose combined vocabularies move between brass, extended voice, and tuned percussion. The work sits in a lineage of contemporary composition that draws on literary attention to landscape and time, translated into sound and structure. Its most telling quality is restraint: it asks listeners to follow small changes as meaningful events.
