Solity:d
by Perttu Haapanen
... a postmodern fresco of emotions... a musical landscape... a miniature opera in artificial language, miniature opera
Description
Tekstin merkityssisällön puuttuessa, kuten tässä tapauksessa keinokielelle sävellettäessä, muuttuu teksti ensisijaisesti musiikilliseksi äänimateriaaliksi. Paitsi että meillä alunperin oli ohjaaja ja libretisti Christian Lindbladin kanssa dramaturginen synopsis, on sävellystyö ensisijaisesti lähtenyt tekstin soinnin maistelusta, rytmisten, rakenteellisten ja ilmaisullisten mahdollisuuksien kartoittamisesta. Alkuperäinen synopsis ohjaa tietyssä määrin kokonaiskaarrosta, mutta sen tunteminen ei ole kuulijan kannalta oleellista. Oleellista minun kannaltani on kysymys siitä, mitä ilmaisua sisältyy kielenkaltaiseen äänimateriaaliin. Päätös käyttää paljon etnisiä lyömäsoittimia antaa instrumentaatiolle hieman nykymusiikista poikkeavan ilmeen. Ooppera sisältää myös melko paljon improvisaatiota, joten jokainen esitys on aina erilainen.
