Transformation (1984) from Unreal City by Jonathan Parry
The soundtrack to an experimental video I did recently. It has the feel of a mysterious slightly surreal film noir, involving a drive along a coastal road.
I first sketched the piece in 1984 and uncovered it recently in an old box of papers. The audio is taken straight from the musical score (in 'Sibelius')
The title refers to the gradual transformation of the opening C major harmony, note by note, to discover an unusual chord sequence. The melody arises from within that transformation
