Sur demande de Gilduc … voici la partie 3 de l’album Weather de Michael Gordon.
Michael Gordon (composer) explique la génese du morceau de la sorte :
Weather was conceived with Elliot Caplan over a period of one minute on
the train from Munich to Hamburg in the dead of winter. Elliot took a
napkin and drew a picture of an orchestra straight up in the air. I
looked at it, and it looked terrifying, undoable. How could an
orchestra play like that?A vertical orchestra turned out to be
perfect for Weather. The elevator goes up to eight, where you find
Vivaldi, then down to four, where there’s a fuzz box, back up to nine
for some intense down bows, and back to two for samples of sirens. For
those who think the history of art is in some way ordered, please
consider the weather: a seemingly random, chaotic, uncontrollable force.
