About the Video.
In the Brady Corbet film Vox Lux, a character loosely based on Lady Gaga called Celeste (played by Natalie Portman) makes a powerful statement about the intention of her new show, saying it will be “as relentless and addictive as possible.”
In our interdisciplinary music class at Guildhall we considered what ‘relentless and addictive’ might mean in genres of music other than commercial pop, and we agreed that these are rarely considered qualities.
So we applied the idea to a composition exercise with strict parameters of duration (1 to 1.5 minutes) instrumentation (saxophones, piano and bass) and tempo (176-200 bpm). The result is Relentless (Bauhaus Dance No. 13) from 5 students across undergraduate and postgraduate courses, four out of five of which had never composed a note of music before. The results were strangely compatible and consistent.
The artworks chosen for each of the five sections of the video mirrors the geometry of the music, and were inspired by the work of Josef Albers (1888-1976,) a celebrated teacher at The Bauhaus art school between 1925 and 1933. The video has been intentionally produced in the form of early avant-garde cinema that would have been known to Albers at The Bauhaus through the work of Hans Richter, Viking Eggerling and Ludwig Hirschfeld-Mack. Many of these film-makers works had musical titles such as Symphonie Diagonale, Colour Sonatina, Rhythmus 21 and the Jean Cocteau/Hans Richter film A Chess Sonata.
