Projektbeschreibung von Orlando Gough (Komposition):
Midnight on New Years Eve on the Danube. A very simple event The Shout + 300 local singers + a big firework display a gently subversive version of the usual New Years Eve shtick.
A love affair between voices and fireworks, a playful piece in which the relationship between the voices and the fireworks is much more varied than usual the voices lead, the fireworks lead, they flirt, they dance, they ignore each other, the fireworks terrify the voices, declare war on them, cheer them up
A bizarre experience. The audience was mostly three hundred metres away on the other side of the river, so very little sense of their presence. The fireworks were amazing and original, a mixture of the conventional and the bizarre (e.g. thousands of little flares which floated down the river looking like luminous sperm) a mixture of complex time-lined structures and manually operated volleys at one moment, hundreds of Catherine wheels, gorgeous (though oddly noisy).
