2001 – the real music

So … I came across this hilarious youtube video … where the talented Portsmouth Sinfonia Highschool orchestra is playing their version of the famous 2001 theme by Richard Strauss (I love Alex North original score too, but Kubrick dissed it) … Anyway … The video made me laugh, but also made me think that this is actually a great, great version of the piece. The beginning of 2001 is all about the dawn of humanity and how it all started – so to a certain degree – the music should also represent this, which the Portmouth Sinfonia really seems to embrace in its full glory.

Plastic Saxophone and Toy Accordion

It can sometimes be healthy to experiment with new sounds and instruments – in this case my eyes- and ears fell for the beautiful yellow plastic saxophone and a red toy accordion. I decided to create three pieces of music that each embraces these wonderful instruments in various ways.
