"
total of
13 short movements, making 17 minutes of music.
While
writing most of this music, I had a comic theatrical performance in mind,
but the
story line is not fully detailed (this meaning there isn't a 200-paged score.)
This is
the basic plot:
the
first thirty years the city managed to grow (this sums up in mvmts 1 and 2,)
but the
population didn't grow as in other towns around it.
Because
of moral differences between a young boy and his parents, they were
mysteriously
wiped out in the middle of the night (late sixties.)
This
influenced teens and young adults in the neighbourhood to do the same.
By
mid-seventies the population had come to consist of 60 % teenagers - a number
which somehow
kept growing as the years went by (mvmts 3 and 4.)
Movement
5 represents seasons changing.
In the
mid-eighties the discos in town had to change formats every two weeks
since
the trends updated constantly (mvmt 7) - the population now consisted of
85 %
teens and 15 % really old people. Near ending the teens had taken over
the town
by poisoning the elderly (mvmt 8.) Soon enough there was total chaos;
drugs were
legalized by the new mayor, and the discos were constantly full.
The last
three movements represent "madness all over town;" Neighbour boy of
Tin
shows
off his sweet ride to the local girls while everybody party like there wasn't
a
tomorrow (which there in a sense wasn't.)
Mvmt 12
is a medley of earlier movements and more (every musical features such an event.)
In the
background of mvmt 13 there are people drinking, dancing, snorting and snoring.
This is
how the town came to its conclusion.
