2016-01-09

A portrait of Alexander Calder’s work Chef d’orchestra (1966), which was made in collaboration with New York composer Earle Brown. When it was made in 1964, the work was intended to be both an instrument (“played” at intervals in an open score by four percussionists) and a conductor (after it was hit and spun in motion, the musicians returned to their percussion stands and imagined the petals of the mobile superimposed over their written score, playing only those notes.) For Shape Notes, two performances of Chef d'orchestre were staged and recorded. The audio recordings of those performances were then edited and used as a new score from which the visual rhythm of this work was composed.

Phonovisions Symphonic Orchestra was the opportunity to celebrate the 20 anniversary since my first record and the 10th anniversary of the first Wax Tailor Release. More than just a simple live session, it s a full 10 years years journey, a new reading on a higher scale. I chose to delete the interviews between the tracks in order to keep only the essence, the music. The DVD keeps the original format even if no recording system can reproduce perfectly the acoustic of a live venue. Wax Tailor
