A meditation for piano and cello. I composed it on the first of january of 2012 (yes it's really that old :D). Score available upon request. And comments are welcome! I'm aware the performance is not entirely perfect but it gives a very good idea what it is all about.

Edit: Youtube had automatically turned off comments but this was not my intention. Probably some annoying bug that seems to be affecting many creators lately. A close reading of a 1935 documentary on fish. I think the idea behind this experiment will speak for itself: a transcription of the narrators voice is played by a Roland Integra-7 baritone saxophone. The documentary is at the same time amusing and (to modern eyes) horrifying. Whereas nowadays sea creatures would typically be described as majestic, mysterious and endangered, back in 1935 apparently standards were quite different. The subtitles are mine, based on what I could understand. Im pretty certain I got some things wrong...
Ken Smith reports: Essentially, this film is just murky stock footage of men on a fishing trawler. What transforms it into an epic tale of Man vs. The Sea is an amazing narration by somebody named Wilfred Lucas. Mr. Lucas pulls no punches; in this violent world, decent men kill every fish they meet. But thats okay, because as Mr. Lucas explains fish are evil and deserve to die.
The complete documentary in two parts (and the modern reviewer comments!) can be found on archive.org: https://archive.org/search.php?query=creator%3A%22Marine+Pictures%22
