piano solo
This set of five short pieces was composed as a set of "commercial breaks" designed to fit between a larger cycle of pieces entitled Warenhaus by the Swiss composer Felix Profos. The pieces combine transcriptions of cash-register sounds with Dutch supermarket melodies.
In collaboration with Felix Profos a series of short videos were made to accompany a performance of the music pieces at a somewhat informal happening/event in Den Haag. Footage of the ceilings and floors of various stores and supermarkets in the area were cut to the rhythms of the checkout cash-register sounds and combined with scanned logo's from various products.
