Schott Zany, Cute, Interesting - Iyer - Solo Violin - Book
Additional Photos:
Composer: Vijay Iyer
Format: Book
Instrumentation: Solo Violin
My piece is titled Zany, Cute, Interesting. It's inspired by the literary theorist Sianne Ngai, whose book Our Aesthetic Categories explores what she calls "weak aesthetics" - our ambivalent or antithetical responses to contemporary culture and commodities: playfulness and desperation, tenderness and aggression, stimulation and boredom. This composition stages a violin performance that might support a similar range of reactions, offering an ambivalence around the notion of virtuosity. - Vijay Iyer
