musicians


The fundamental idea of the project was to create a soundtrack that formed the context, the inspirational atmosphere, for the elaboration of an animation that would stray outside the traditional boundaries of narrative. It was too stimulating an enterprise to pull off with any standard rendering of a written composition. This is why we chose to build the work using alternative compositional techniques tied to the extemporaneous creation of forms and elements – a method hewing more closely to contemporary styles of composition.We needed music that wouldn't just stay in the background. It needed to be rich in stimuli and in some way figurative. Sticking to the three-minute time limit for each recording was crucial. This allowed us to create a series of chronometric tracks that used varying techniques: parametric graphs to coordinate dynamics, materials and mood changes. We worked on creating contrast and on imitations of the different timbres among our instruments. We imagined dialogues and slowly passing landscapes, and we researched alternate manners of rhythm in an attempt to achieve a free improvisation unchained by rules.This is the fruit of our labor: an outtake of the most significant tracks to come out of our recording session, later filtered through the collective's animators. The collective itself later chose the track on which to build the animation.
