MUSIC PROGRAM
Lancelot Chimera is an electroacoustic concerto for amplified bassoon and tape about games, the apocalypse, and transforming into something else. This is music about individuality and agency and the smell of the earth and good times.
Every Lancelot will be a perfect knight turned away by God at the threshold of the holy grail for the sin of adultery. Every Chimera will be created to rage into a multiplex of animal chaos. Every concerto is a confrontation between an individual and a mass, but what if these two bodies are the same?
