The fundamental idea of the
project was to create a soundtrack that formed the context, the inspirational
atmosphere, for the elaboration of an animation that would stray outside the
traditional boundaries of narrative. It was too stimulating an enterprise to pull
off with any standard rendering of a written composition. This is why we chose to build
the work using alternative compositional techniques tied to the extemporaneous
creation of forms and elements – a method hewing more closely to contemporary
styles of composition.We needed music that
wouldn't just stay in the background. It needed to be rich in stimuli and in
some way figurative. Sticking to the three-minute time limit for each recording
was crucial. This allowed us to create a series of chronometric tracks that
used varying techniques: parametric graphs to coordinate dynamics, materials
and mood changes. We worked on creating contrast and on imitations of the
different timbres among our instruments. We imagined dialogues and slowly
passing landscapes, and we researched alternate manners of rhythm in an attempt
to achieve a free improvisation unchained by rules.This is the fruit of our
labor: an outtake of the most significant tracks to come out of our recording
session, later filtered through the collective's animators. The collective
itself later chose the track on which to build the animation.
