Retrouvailles Georges Aperghis (performed by Mike Drop Duo)

Performance by MikeDrop Duo (Mike Compitello and Mike Truesdell) Video by Four, Ten Media Sound by Greg Heimbecker Georges Aperghis is one of the truly unique and creative compositional voices of our time. A work by Aperghis is not only sound, but a strong visual drama as well. In the case of Retrouvailles, nonsense syllables and nonsequitur words and syllables paint a subconscious picture amidst a nonsensical narrative. Two old friends meet, speaking a language deeply familiar to them but opaque to the viewer. They embrace, reminisce, and share a drink. We were enraptured by this piece and wanted to collaborate with the creativity of Four, Ten media to realize a fresh and inspired performance.
