ROPE & CHASM

ROPE & CHASM

mezzo soprano, video projections

An evening-length work for mezzo-soprano and video, based on Nietzsche's Also Sprach Zarathustra. It consists of a series of episodes in which the performer sings and speaks with a recorded musical score and reacts to the video characters who themselves speak. The score is composed and constructed from a variety of materials: modified sampled instruments, pure electronic sound and reworked fragments of other music. The video is made from 3d and morphing animation and found footage.
