The work was commissioned by the Swedish new music ensemble <a href="http://www.swinepearl.com/svin1eng.html" target="_blank"><b>The Peärls Before Swïne Experience</b></a> and is the second installment of the experimental animated music drama "Odboy & Erordog", picking up where episode 1 left off.</p> <p>The "Odboy & Erordog" series began in 2008 with "Odboy & Erordog, episode 1", an unconventional music drama sprung from my dissatisfaction with the highbrow culture of contemporary classical music.</p> <p>A piece for flute, piano, violin, cello, electronic music and animation,  Odboy & Erordog, episode 2 builds upon the feverish narrative of the first episode, about a boy and his dog being sent off on ambiguous missions by a nameless authority in a semi-abstract environment, structured around the aesthetics and parameters of early 1980 s computer games. As with the first episode, the work is mainly a meditation on childhood concepts, experiences and nightmares.</p> <p>Whereas the first episode was confined to animation and electronic music, this second installment expands the palette with the introduction of the live chamber quartet, making for a far more engaging concert situation reminiscent of the silent film music performances of cinema s infancy.</p> <br /> <p>Watch the full work on VIMEO:</p> <br /> <div style="text-align: center"><object width="500" height="375"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=19888302&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=c1cade&amp;fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=19888302&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=c1cade&amp;fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="500" height="375"></embed></object></div> <br /> <br /><br /><br /> <a href="../works.html"><img src="../gfx_etc/back_button_06.gif" border="0" alt="BACK" /></a><br /><br /> <!-- PANEL WIDTH END --> </td> </table> </body> </html>
