PLASTICSOLEN

PLASTICSOLEN (the Plastic Sun) is originally a poem by acclaimed danish window-jumper Michael Strunge. Written in the 1980’s it sets a dystopian scene in which mindless consumerism pollutes and corrupts our physical as well as mental space.

Composed in the traditional form of “Concert de Piano sans Orchestre mais avec Choeur”, PLASTICSOLEN sets out to score the surreal word paintings of Strunges mind. Encapsulated by fully improvised sections in the form Introduzione as well as solo piano Cadenza, the piece delicately moves through scenes in a tightly woven genre mesh.
