Summary of This Score
Near Death Experience after Arnold Böcklin's The Isle of the Dead fits within an approach where music dialogues with image and cultural memory. Taking as its starting point the unique atmosphere of Arnold Böcklin's "The Isle of the Dead," this score explores contrasting soundscapes, between tension, suspension, and perception of time, with a writing conceived for the stage and immersive listening.
The particularity of the work lies in the addition of an optional video sequence, projected as a backdrop. This visual dimension, created by Hervé Bailly-Basin, can accompany the performance without imposing itself: it offers an additional interpretation of the musical journey, useful both in festival contexts and for contemporary music programming aiming to enhance the dramaturgical impact.
The premiere took place on 04/01/2017 in Geneva, during the Archipel Festival (Alhambra), performed by the Lemanic Modern Ensemble under the direction of William Blank. This premiere information provides a valuable reference point to situate the work, its artistic intention, and its anchoring in the current ensemble repertoire. An ideal score for performers and programmers seeking a contemporary proposal that is both musical and scenic, with a video option adaptable according to technical means and concert project.
