Agape


This is a composition co-created with some extracts from singing birds in two public parks of Tilburg, De Oude Dijk and Oude Warande. I recorded them and transcribed into music score. “Agape” is a word from the ancient Greek which refers to a kind of love for the family. I named this piece as an invitation to develop our empathy toward other interspecies. This work is intended to be perform live in a public park of Tilburg. The main performers will be the birds and the geophony (sound of wind, rain, crack of a branch, among others). I join their performance as anobserver participant with the saxophone as my clean voice because my deep connection with the instrument made by hours of practice, shared emotions and energy spends with it.
