This home-made iMovie is the "memoir story" about my composition Formes Differentes de sonneries de la Rose+Croix for piano, prepared piano and harpsichord with the score, pictures, videos and selection of concert programs . The piece is written in 1986 in Belgrade.
It had many performances in Europe the 90s (before I immigrated to the United States). Erik Satie’s chords (opening part of the miniature "Air du grand Prieur" from the cycle "Sonneries de la Rose+Croix") contributed in developing a concept to structure this work. Depersonalized, in their altered contest, these chords became the material out of which personal sonorities are freely formed. Then, in a new musical time, "Sonneries de la Rose+Croix" will group “accidentally and imperceptibly” becoming quasi quotations of our urban musical environment.
