Strokellectanea III | Excerpt | 2009 | Jen-Kuang Chang

* The musicsphere for working on Strokellectanea project, a series of blissful generative graphics, orbited through Glenn Gould’s The Goldberg Variations (1955) to Henryk Górecki’s String Quartet No.3 to John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman CD to Per Nørgård's Symphony No. 3 to Van den Budenmayer, and then concluded with Gould’s The Goldberg Variations (1981). The inclusion of Van den Budenmayer in the selection was admittedly atypical. After all, Van den Budenmayer was an eighteenth-century Dutch composer. Nothing paranormal about this Dutch composer though. Music by fictitious Van den Budenmayer, whose works were done by a twentieth-century Polish composer Zbigniew Preisner for Krzysztof Kieślowski’s films, was as memorable as cheery sound of microwaved popcorns.
