Musical Ekphrasis: Literary Vignettes in response to Contemporary Classical Music
I grew up playing violin in various run of the mill classical community orchestras, Later in life, I began studying the ancient Greek concept of ekphrasis - which in a nutshell is how art inspires literature and vice versa. I decided to apply the concept to contemporary classical music. With all of its cacophonical, arrhythmic weirdness - which practically all aside from snotty academics deem utterly unintelligible, I decided to dissect and illuminate its multifarious magic utilizing a literary tool born in the ancient world - ekphrasis. The range of possibilities seem as endless as one's imagination, well beyond the conventional boundaries of beauty. Listening to even a single piece a second time opens an entirely different narrative. An organic, raw, engaging, reflective, predictive, dire darkness and blinding illumination - all are potential crops of unclassified seeds sown in irregularly lined fields.
