Leave me alone
‘Leave me alone’ is a work based on selected excerpts from the original soundtrack music composed for the surrealistic Man Ray’s silent film ‘Emak Bakia’ (commissioned by Athens Music Hall and played by Kamerata Orchestra for ensemble and electronics in 2012). The film is a kaleidoscope of images that blurs the distinction between reality and representation, showing elements of fluid mechanical motion in parts, rotating artifacts showing his ideas of everyday objects being extended and rendered useless. The difference between human life and abstract is distorted by shots showing things such as a human figure motion being mirrored by a representative, simplified set of lines. Composing the music for ‘Emak Bakia’ (‘Leave me alone’ in Basque), I followed the film’s dreamlike sense of ambiguous reality achieving the surrealist’s goal of directly capturing the unheralded movements of the mind, free of all the superficial structure of rational thinking.
