11th Floor (Cullberg Ballet, Edouard Lock)
October 11, 2014

11th Floor

 

This is another of the works that I have done with Edouard Lock that takes musical imagery from other sources and translate them into new work. In this case the music was selected from many recordings of music used for “film noire” movies, which I re-wrote for a quartet comprising accordion, bass, piano and tenor sax/bass clarinet. The ballet was for the Swedish company Cullberg Ballet and I had a very fine group of Swedish musicians led by LIsa Eriksson Langbacka, accordion.
