Premiered April 20, 2017 National Arts Centre Orchestra Alexander Shelley, conductor Southam Hall, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Keep Driving, I’m Dreaming draws tone and timbre from the neo-noir cinema of the 1980s and 1990s... in the hyper stylized way motion and travel scenes are filmed and treated…romanticized inertia into hyper kinetic neon rage. Sounds emerge from transitory states...fluctuating between FM radio stations...ghosting like the barely audible music on a warped cassette tape long since overdubbed...further suspended in time by the placelessness of an automobile trip with its bodies in motion, careening around corners in improbable locales or holding steady along unrelentingly rigid lanes at dusk. The rear view mirror reflects a place you never were.
