Zahra Poonawala - Bouquet Final

Bouquet Final is an experiment on harmony, based on Igor Stravinsky’s Fantasy for Orchestra, entitled Fireworks (1908) . In this video, twenty members of an orchestra were recorded separately in their own homes, each playing their part of the score at their own pace and with their personal nuance. This situation where interaction amongst musicians and guidance of a conductor are non-existent results in a cacophonous composition, revisiting the notion of harmony.
