- Synopsis:
The Danish composer Simon Steen-Andersen's audio-visual work 'Black Box Music' is a surprising, energetic, noisy and yet profoundly entertaining deconstruction of traditional musical drama. The starting point is the classical setting of a conductor in front of an orchestra but quickly the scenery explodes in musical and choreographic energy ad absurdam, bending the conductor's role through puppet theatre, hand choreography and eventually a musical performance involving tuning forks, finger snaps, rubber bands and the construction of a musical machine within the black box. The video also includes Steen-Andersen's signature work Run Time Error, filmed at the Royal Library in Copenhagan, as well as a short documentary and thus offers a fascinating meeting with one of Nordic Music's most visionary voices today. - Studio:
