Due to pandemic-related concert cancellations, Trio Abstrakt has developed a desire to present contemporary music in a format that is not, like online streaming, merely a substitute for a ‘real’ concert. Instead, it should be fully complete when viewed and listened to on one’s own computer. Building implicitly on MTV music videos of the 1990s, we seek to launch a project in which contemporary music and short films interact: the New Music Video.
Thus, new short films and new compositions are to be combined in a total of four New Music Videos, each lasting five minutes. Whether a film is given a musical backdrop, derives its form from a pre-existing recording or score, or results from a close collaboration between video artist and composer, is a question left entirely open, thereby becoming an object of the creative process itself.
ABOUT THE COMISSIONED WORKS
Four compositions for trio, each lasting five minutes; each
€1.000
(including two online or in-person rehearsals)
Four films/videos, each lasting five minutes; each
€1.500
(including conception/realisation, music synchronisation and post-production)
