Abstract

A conceptual audiovisual composition. A melody for soprano saxophone composed by Jochen Eisentraut is performed by him in its entirety in various locations in Paris and video recorded in each. The resulting recordings are then intercut so that the melody is still continuous, but the location, and the ambient sound, change continuously. The compostion is post-modern in conception, referencing a number of styles such as baroque, jazz and Middle Eastern music. The basic theme is written in the Arab Hijaz mode. The piece is a comment on the culture of Paris and its many global links. The contentious situation which arises in relation to the recent terrorist attacks is alluded to by by the use of Hijaz and by including the exterior of the Bataclan music venue as a location, scene of a terrorist massacre in which 90 people died in November 2015.
