Piano Suite IV Music from Fragile Light Spaces by LolaPerrin published on 2016-03-31T21:03:17Z Piano Suite IV Music from Fragile Light Spaces After Rachel Whiteread, Nazarin Montag and Roberto Battista The starting point for this work was artist Rachel Whiteread's sculpture piece where she'd cast into plaster the shape of the space underneath a bed. I set out to try something similar in composition; at the time Whiteread was working in the Arctic so I began to think about the shapes of spaces within icebergs and to allow these imagined cavities define peaks, troughs and edges of the music. Later on, I sought extra visual input so I collaborated with two photographers also preoccupied with the depiction of spaces. I used a sequence of light drawings by Nazarin Montag to complete the first six pieces in the suite: "Using the camera as a 'drawing tool' I sketched the transfer lounge of Newark Airport Terminal NYC; a transient space through which motion is defined by its architecture. As I passed through I drew traces of artificial light on the surface of the film and discovered a hidden world that lies within." (Nazarin Montag, 2005) Photographs by Roberto Battista enabled the completion of the suite's final piece, Cloud Sky Fade; "Because of my habit of staring at the sky I've often hurt myself. At the same time, I've read so many stories in the passing clouds that travel around the world witnessing the lives of countless people that I don't regret a few bruises."
