Angel View
by Juliana Hodskinson ,
scored for seven or more
performers and
electronics. 'Angel View
is an assemblage of urban
and musical debris,
somewhere between a
wordless live radio play,
enacted film soundtrack
and instrumental theatre.
Chiseling cement, falling
debris, scraping cutlery,
breaking glass,
criss-crossing cables,
squealing tram-wheels, an
upturned bicycle, a grid
of cables, a travel
souvenir, a shop window,
a revolving carousel, a
brace of monkeys, a wall
under siege, a dining
table laid for an
ancestral dinner - it is
a sonic bazaar. Made up
of over 20 parts, each
designed to overlap, the
work's architecture is
full of of non-sequiturs
and
arbitrarycross-relations
between imagined streets
intersecting and running
parallel, reflecting the
surrealism of everyday
life described in Walter
Benjamin's Einbahnstrasse
and still present in the
contemporary dilemmas and
opportunities of Berlin
today. All this is heard
as if from an aerial
perspective, perhaps the
Victory Column where
angels sit in Wings of
Desire, from where Berlin
below is observed as a
series of tragedies.'
Juliana Hodskinson.
