Description
  1. 1 videodisc (NTSC) (77 min.) : sd., col.; 4 3/4 in.
Summary
  1. The panel discusses David Lang's music, how each choreographer (Jessica Lang and Pontus Lidberg) decided on the order of the two works and how they worked with the music. Jessica Lang listened to the rhythms and created an unusual counting structure, and created images in the work that evoked a story for the audience. David Lang discusses how he composed these two musical compositions beginning with the problem solving aspect of putting the endless melody into regular shape and deciding to add a military beat, and concluding with his excitement about having his music used by choreographers to create works. Pontus Lidberg discusses what it was like to work and live with these dancers for five weeks, compared choreographing these works to creating his films, and his lyrical approach to choreographing and adding a layer to David Lang's music.
