Franco Evangelisti
Franco Evangelisti was one of the founder members of Nuova Consonanza,and for sure one of the most radical composers of the Italian avant-garde. Evangelisti was a defendant of a rationalistic style of composing all his life, starting from the serialist school with its center in Cologne (Germany) in the fifties which saw its roots in the later works of Anton Webern. From the mid-fifties he immersed himself in hyperstructuralism, but almost from the start, there was a partly Cage-derived anarchic counterforce (namely indeterminacy) which sought to eat away the cultural edifice from within.
