American composer Alvin Lucier was one of the pioneers of sound art. He brought the acoustic qualities of spaces to life in a magnificent way. Especially for the Radio 1 Night, percussionist Andrés Navarro García will perform his well-known piece for triangle from 1988 (with amplification by Mauro Zannoli). You say the triangle isn’t a proper instrument? Think again!
