Neither Confirmed Nor Denied: An Opera of Coded Information
Meridian Gallery, San Francisco, CAGino Robair's Neither Confirmed Nor Denied was a one-act opera inspired by the mysterious "number stations" heard on shortwave radios throughout the world since the late 1940s. These stations broadcast strings of numbers and words, which are read by a human or synthesized voice and surrounded by interesting identifiers (snatches of folk tunes, electronic tones, etc.). Neither Confirmed Nor Denied was inspired by the individual characteristics of such stations, using them as a model for creating a libretto and score that was generated in real time based on sets of instructions given to each performer, who then interpreted the instructions musically or through movement. Each artist, in effect, became a unique station, sonifying or visualizing encrypted data that served as each character's story. Because the stations were located throughout the four floors of the Meridian Gallery, each attendee had a highly personalized experience of the work as they navigated the building.
