Amaluna is the first Cirque show with an all-female group of musicians.
|
Composers by Bob & Bill (Guy Dubuc (Gee Doo-BOOK) and Marc Lessard (Mark Less-ARD)) are
known for their ability to blur the lines between genres and styles to create an
intricately woven visual style (think Koozå). Their mission here was to create a “unique,
raw sound; to surprise by means of the unexpected” and they’ve done just that. Guitars
are very present and the overall sound is resolutely contemporary. Bass, drums, cello,
vocals, keyboards, and percussion support the guitars in delivering the music directly
without embellishment. “We wanted to unleash the power in the raw state that artists and
musicians bring to the stage,” explain Bob & Bill. The musicians share the stage with
acrobats at times, which combines perfectly with the energy of the score.
“We wanted to reflect the guts and intense attitude of these musicians through the music
itself,” they add. Although their choice in accompaniments might be polarizing (the all-female
band gives the music that Joan Jet “rock on!” feeling, which is just fine with me), the
comparison at times to “game music” might be a turn-off to some. “We created a sound for
the show that would follow the emotional line of the acrobatic numbers,” they say. “Each
act has its own respiration and rhythm, its own arc – and the music should reflect this.
The music is an extension of the soul of a character and an expression in sound of the
show’s narrative.”
