NATHAN WILLIAMSON Composer and pianist Nathan Williamson was in residence at the Museum of Beyond at the Aldeburgh Beach Lookout in July 2014. Working in the tower of the Aldeburgh Beach Lookout, Nathan composed new work inspired by the underlying themes of the Museum of Beyond. Nathan premiered his new work (as yet untitled) at the exhibition. The piece was based on the idea of a dissonant chord which remained unresolved throughout the piece, representing the 'immovable' nature of the plastic items in Fran's exhibition. The chord featured music in very different styles, suggested by Fran's idea of understanding the objects in the museum from different viewpoints and with different attitudes. The piece was interrupted by various 'fantasia' sections which reflected the movement of the sea and water around the 'immovable plastic' chord, which sadly always returned and remained unresolved through to the end.
Reviews: The unabashed romanticism of … the music proved rather thrilling. People don't write opera like this any more, and perhaps they should.
