Abstract

This study delves into the integration of technology into musical art, focusing on Luigi Nono’s Prometheus and Pink Floyd's live performance in Venice. Despite their differences, both events represent pivotal moments in musical evolution, necessitating detailed analysis. This article explores the intersection of embodied cognition, music, and audience experience in Nono's opera Prometeo and Pink Floyd's concert, revealing the fascinating integration of technology into music. Nono's Prometheus, performed in 1984, and Pink Floyd's 1989 concert in Venice showcase distinct yet intertwined paths in the realm of live electronic music. This analysis considers the innovative approaches of both events, highlighting their impact on musical expression and the audience's perception. By exploring these iconic performances, this study sheds light on the intricate relationship between technology, music, and the human experience, illustrating the profound implications of their fusion for the future of musical creativity and audience engagement.
