double music (2012)
For percussion group Slagwerk Den Haag, Arnoud made seven short films linking seven duo-compositions in a concert commemorating John Cage. An interesting series of composer portraits.
Ode to John Cage
Slagwerk Den Haag celebrated its own 35th anniversary and the 100th anniversary of John Cage's birth with Double Music, a program featuring seven new duo pieces by fourteen composers, inspired by Double Music by John Cage and Lou Harrison.
Arnoud Noordegraaf interviewed all fourteen composers, asking them about the composition process. The interviews were compiled into video portraits, which were then interspersed through the Double Music program giving an interesting peek behind the scenes.
The original work by John Cage and Lou Harrison was obviously included in the program. The new duo pieces were written by:
Louis Andriessen & Martijn Padding
Michael Gordon & Julia Wolfe
Huba de Graaff & Jan van de Putte
Pete Harden & Oscar Bettison
Yannis Kyriakides & Marko Ciciliani
Tom Johnson & Luiz Henrique Yudo
Peter Adriaansz & Maarten Altena.
