an evening that was both
entertaining and educational – well actually more inspirational – the Boulez
show at Snape https://tickets.aldeburgh.co.uk/Online/2015-festival-boulez-improvisations
was quite excellent - a great idea for a way of exploring a life – moving screens,
translation of sound and image, music and words projected, voices, live
footage, - it was all there – I’ve always thought that performances of music
and words might benefit from visuals and there it was …….Boulez explained the
idea of creating systems to explore and play music – I loved the phrase – random
and obliged in terms of playing choice.
Returning to folding
– looking at the idea of developing systems to create large sheets of folded
material. This is using both a modular approach – many similar individual
elements interconnected and also working within the purity of one sheet -
starting with a very large sheet and ending with a substantial smaller piece.
