little music projects
After Träumerei (2019)
After Träumerei is an experimentation based on John Rea's Las Meninas (1990-91), a piano work of twenty-one 'transformal' variations inspired by Robert Schumann's Kinderszenen op.15, which is a piano work of fifteen variations inspired by the theme of childhood. In the music video After Träumerei, you can hear the variations 'Reverie à la mémoire de Morton Feldman' and 'Reverie à Walter Zimmermann', which I recorded simultaneously - one within the other. Taking the concept of childhood and träumerei (dream, reverie) as a starting point, the video depicts my own personal dreamy and distant landscape in nature.
