Apparition

The hundreds of sketches made by Gustave Moreau exploring the character of Salome, as portrayed in his series, L’Apparition are the starting point of this practice-based research project. As an extension of Moreau’s images of Salome, the project considers gestural control sound design based on “striking” and “bowing” movements, and how these might operate as metaphors by mapping gestures with strong physical associations to sound and rhythm modules specifically designed to represent them. Apparition also investigates music and visuals in the form of a contemporary “composed novel”, exploring the syntax of found footage, pattern, texture, colour, text, gesture and electroacoustic composition.

Salomé

After the lewd and frenetic Dance of the Seven Veils, and with the solemn pledge from the very lips of Herod himself that she could have whatever her heart desires up to half his kingdom, wanton and proud young Salomé comes before her king with an unreasonable demand. Beguiled by John the Baptist, and then scorned for the sake of his god, lascivious Salomé—encouraged by her mother, the vindictive, Herodias—commands that John be executed and his head delivered on a silver platter.
