After travelling during my years in publishing and for my own research for the operas, I am drawn to an idea mentioned by my grandfather, Robert Le Ricolais:
‘The great changes of terrain for us consist no longer in going far away…but rather in going far in terms of depth.’ (1)
Here are two recent music/films, based on my transcription of J.S. Bach’s Prelude and Fugue XXII from the first volume of his amazing collection The Well-Tempered Clavier. This transcription was first performed in Ely Cathedral (a wonderful acoustic for this work) by a territorial army wind band.
1. Edge of Chaos 2. Fugue XXII - Worthing version also 3. Prelude and Fugue - Black
In the first two music/films I am playing with the idea of chaos versus order: against the order in Bach’s Prelude and Fugue, I have placed images of chaos. (more details). Also see/hear the Victoria Tenebrae music/films.
'Question yourself on what you think
is simple and what is simple.
A table is a simple structure, yes....
but if you analyse it you have to
master hyperbolic functions....' (2)
