Music for Slow Motion  Dance

Christian Wittman

 “I’ve been meaning to write to tell you how good "Music for Slow Motion Dance" is: an unassuming little masterpiece.”  (Stephen Hill, Hearts of Space Radio Program)


Following on from an experiment carried out a few years ago by Lightwave with Popdreams, a street dance and slow motion company, this ambient, minimalist album was conceived to accompany experimental, contemporary choreographies based on the slowness and fluidity of movements and postures, between the techniques of mime, moon walking and butō theater.

The concept behind this album is slowness, time stretched out, suspended, like a film in slow motion, where gestures and movements become a weightless choreography...

I composed this album with the gestures and expressivity of butō performers in my mind's eye, in a space-time other than our own, inviting us to think differently about our relationship to the body and the soul, to movement, but also to looking and listening...

This ambient album is an invitation to slow down and free ourselves from gravity, to reach the lightness of lunar angels...

Twilight

Between day and night, the time of twilight begins...
A slow fade of light, shadow and color, as the city lights awaken from their daytime torpor.

Between wakefulness and sleep lies the time of twilight...
A silent film of memories, sensations and thoughts, which this musical project attempts to set to sound...

Imbued with a gentle melancholy, this intimate ambient journey to the threshold of night explores the confines of silence, sculpted by slow melodies...

•• About "Playing This Old Lullaby One More Time".
"This track impressed me with its atmosphere and sound research.
The piano is almost a sweet music box that expresses itself slowly and quietly. Surrounding it is this very searching sound palette where, in addition to these very glacial and subtle strings, I really liked this sound that refers to some kind of burning fire or maybe the sea!
Excellent!!!" (The Hand Editions, playlists curator)

•• About "Orange Sky"
"I listened to your track and found it interesting.
The aspect that struck me the most is this tending dreamy and suspended atmosphere that you wanted to create. Another aspect that struck me is this sonic and timbral research where I also found the management of effects and mixing interesting.
Thanks to this combination of very good mixing with this suspended music, the whole thing takes on a delicate and very interesting character." (The Hand Editions, playlists curator)
