Tableaux Diablo

A short symphonic piece in (intermittent) progress.... Boom boom chikka chikka boom.

The various movements follow specific moods of the individual. These moods are blended to reach a series of unsettling peaks, followed by emotional troughs. Death and re-birth.

At each performance the length and severity of each mood is dependent on audience reaction and the physical moods of the players themselves. These moods are interdependent.

Apathy is avoided as a key motif. I needed something a little stronger...or weaker.

Here are the 'Themes':

1) Aggression
2) Incoherence
3) Narcissism
4) Control
5) Forced humility
6) Damaged Intuition
7) Superficiality
8) Self Importance / self loathing
9) Self-esteem
10) Sneekiness
11) Avarice
12) Empathy

Sounds like Chaucer. A heady brew!
