Solaris
Ben Frost and Daniel Bjarnason with film manipulations by Brian Eno and Nick Robertson
Unsound Adelaide
Exclusive to Adelaide
Australia / Iceland
“Solaris is an unsettling, albeit wondrous achievement... Not only have they captured the complex emotions of Stanislaw Lem’s masterwork stunningly well, but they’ve created a dark, beautiful and captivating piece of music in the process.”
Sputnik Music
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Krakow writer Stanislaw Lem’s novel Solaris, Ben Frost and Daníel Bjarnason were commissioned by Unsound to write this work for strings, percussion, prepared piano, guitars and electronics – a narrative of sound that is an exploration of an interior cosmos. The performance features members of the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra and film manipulations by Brian Eno and Nick Robertson, drawing on moments from the Tarkovsky film adaptation, to create a visual parallel to the music composition process.
