Hans Richter & Anthony Linden Jones / Ghosts Before Breakfast

Composer Anthony Linden Jones (New South Wales, Australia) has created a new score for Hans Richter's 1928 Dadaist classic, "Vormittagsspuk" ("Ghosts before Breakfast" ), featured at Nu Mu [sic!] Unlimited 2009, the Web's first virtual new music festival:

The dream-like imagery and special cinematographic techniques exploited by Richter and ingeniously mirrored in the new score serve to illustrate the festival's overarching theme, "In Search of Lost Time," inspired by Marcel Proust's novel, A la recherche du temps perdu.
