Camera Music

for voice, 5 performers, electronics & stock footage clips
commissioned by: mdi ensemble
duration: 45′ ca.


Camera Music is a collection of eight pieces, for male voice, five musicians and different forms of video.
It specifically addresses the desire for power that human beings exert over the natural and social context.
Inside music, text and video, this topic is debated sometimes ironically, other times more painfully and harshly.

• Camera Music #1, “In praise of my splendid voice”
for e-guitar, e-cello, voice and commercials.
Here you can watch and listen to the web version: Camera Music #1 – video
• Camera Music #2, “La Mer”

• Camera Music #3, “Je hais la haine”
