Mystères du Japon

Media Scenography for Concerts at the Montreal Symphony Orchestra (OSM) | Feb. & Mar. 2010 | Montréal (Canada)

As a component of a four-part concert an assemblage of stand-alone music videos explores various aspects of the history and art of Japan. Conceptual and narrowed animations coact with the orchestrated versions of Japanese poems and establish an additional level of narration to the underlying, figurative language of traditional Japanese songs.

A detailed comment on the concert by Kent Nagano (in French) here. Further information on the website of Peter Schmidt.
