Paintings by Hermann Nitsch with music by Alex Wilson

Intricacy and Depth is what inspired me to compose and perform this piano piece in to accompany this impressive collection of paintings. In the final image "The Last Supper" there is so much to take in, I ended up playing in a very 'running' style.

This is the type of unusual and exciting project that stimulates me as a musician. I was given the DVD with no sound beforehand and asked to prepare piano pieces for each artist. On the day of the recording, I was in the studio Steinway in front of me and TV monitor screen to my right and the record button pressed ! Here you can experience the results.

The works were exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery and filmed for Astra, director Tony Salmon
