Project Creation : Narrative as an Expression of Music
Voxare Meets The Man with a Movie Camera, is the the
result of a painstaking process undertaken by the quartet over a number of
months. The idea of accompanying a silent film is one that we had had for
some time. The ultimate product of our intensive work was the result of a
series of numerous decisions that dictated our next steps. Here's how
the project came to be.
1) The first large decision was whether to use a
newly composed score or to use pre-existing music. Ultimately we decided
that using pre-existing music would be the more compelling, unique, and
challenging option. Little did we know just how challenging our choice
would make the project.
