A Daydream Chaconne, acousmatic (2023)

About the Piece

A Daydream Chaconne is a multimedia piece created by using the footage from the 1915 film Daydreams (Грёзы), by Yevgeni Bauer (Евгений Францевич Бауэр). It is part of the first 4:3 series, a partnership between composers interested in writing music using public domain footage.

All of the sounds you can hear in the music are derived from recordings of me playing the viola, and I used it as a challenge to create movie music only by altering those sounds.

Artists Macaron Afterparty and Bruno Gazoni were also a part of this project. You can check their submissions below.
