Garry Eister – Slam!

Lucinda Gallant — Sun, 29 Jan 2017 13:41:02 +0000

On the second week of January, 2017, I met up with my good friend Philipp Marguerre who was in London, playing at the Royal Opera House. I had hired a studio for Philipp to record this piece, which I had recently written for him, as a personal, angry reaction to some recent political events. The piece is entitled “Slam!” Philipp is an extraordinary musician, playing an extraordinary instrument called a verrophone, which was invented by German inventor and musician, Sascha Reckert. The verrophone is a modern version of Benjamin Franklin’s glass armonica. It is louder, lighter and less finicky than the armonica, and it is sufficiently similar in sound to Franklin’s invention that Philipp can make his living playing the armonica parts in “Lucia,” “Written on Skin,” and “Frau Ohne Schatten” in the finest opera houses and festivals in Europe and elsewhere. In addition to his high level verrophone skillls, Philipp is a first-rate pianist. The London studio where we worked, “Last Eight,” has a great piano- a Steinway B from Hamburg- and an excellent engineer, Lucinda Gallant, who also owns the place.

Sky Ainsbury – Getting on Better with Imaginary Friends

Lucinda Gallant — Mon, 22 Aug 2016 13:46:48 +0000

“This video was kind of inspired by the feeling of being pushed and pulled, being at the whims of invisible currents. Why is it that sometimes movement is so effortless and sometimes so difficult? Why are some days full of grace and others so constricted, as if moving through invisible tunnels? Why is moving across a room alone so different from moving across the same room in front of parents, an ex, an audition panel? It’s about all those invisible forces, pushing and pulling at our shoulders and our elbows and our guts, and how we respond to that presence – do we force our way and hold the space as if they don’t exist, or let ourself move in tune with them, find organic rhythms in the compromise between our own volition and the forces beyond our control.”
Sky Ainsbury, Film Maker and Composer

Piano music performed by Chris Lloyd
Recorded by Lucinda Gallant
