’To Neptune, Ruler of the Seas Profound’. A Conversation between Isabella Summers and Tatiana Cheneviere

A special In Perspective episode to discover the musical project by the composer and musician Isabella Summers, To Neptune, Ruler of the Seas Profound (2019), devoted to Cy Twombly’s life and work.

The piece, composed and recorded in 2019, was originally played through headphones on the occasion of the exhibition Cy Twombly: Sculpture at Gagosian in London. Later in May 2022, on the occasion of the first edition of the Un/veiled program, the composition was arranged for orchestra by the musician for the live performance held at the Fondazione Nicola Del Roscio in Rome and further expanded for a second live performance on the occasion of the exhibition Cy Twombly at Gagosian in Los Angeles in December 2022.

The third episode of the second season of In Perspective features a conversation between Isabella Summers and Tatiana Cheneviere, curator of the project, about the origin and the creative process behind the musical piece.
