The Blues (2007)
from Symbiotica
(a cross-cultural mixup)
(Conlon Nancarrow Study No. 25 from Studies for Player Piano, and Billie Holiday singing I Can't give You Anything But Love by Jimmy McHugh and Dorothy Fields with Teddy Wilson and his Orchestra.)
The Nancarrow Study No. 25 is separated into naturally interrupted segments, then reordered. I separated the Billie Holiday track into short phrases or segments, numbered them, then rearranged the segments and inserted silences between them.
I have included enhanced electronics, mostly on the piano
sounds.
