“Scenes From A Play” (2024) is the (somewhat utilitarian) title of a concert suite composed for the Jazzorchester Vorarlberg and strings. The music is adapted from Petit Mal, a literary/dramatic piece developed with writer and dramaturgist Carolyn Amann and premiered in 2023.
The original piece follows the inner journey of a man coming to terms with physical and neurological change, a man struggling to accept that the bonds holding his life together are slowly disintegrating. The concert version of the music falls somewhere between film score and jazz concert, anchored by the fantastic soloists of the Jazzorchester Vorarlberg.
