Sounds
Overview
Sounds --- 2009
Sounds is inspired by Kandinsky's manuscript of woodcuts and prose by the same name from 1912. Composers Paola Prestini and Milica Paranosic chose to interpret the work in different ways. Prestini's Sounds is a meditation on the meaning and implications of blue, red, black, and white in our society. Through the personification of each color, new perspectives on race, love, and the difficulties of connection in this era of extreme communication are uncovered. Paranosic's Sounds addresses the balance between collective identities and individualism, expressed through largely choral sections of music, movement, and film.
