“Wolff’s compositions are like the classical music of an unknown civilization.” — John Cage

 

This rare portrait of composer Christian Wolff (b. 1934) — a key figure in American experimental music and the youngest member of the New York School — explores the philosophy, politics, and quiet radicalism of his work. Featuring Wolff in conversation with Michael Pisaro, Nicolas Collins, Michael Parsons, Robyn Schulkowsky, Amy Beal, and Larry Polansky, the film moves between his beautiful, often cryptic scores and the landscapes that shape the film's spacious cinematography.
