Vocalists & Songs
The music of LUDÕ maintains a strong relationship with memory. It guides spectators
through the timeline of The Visionary’s recollections and perhaps invites them to
reconnect with their own sense of wonder. Links also exist between parts of the preshow
and the show itself. Some preshow songs are built upon themes from numbers presented
later. For example, A donde vas is based on the music from the artistic swimming act,
Conversation with Water, playfully triggering the spectator’s memory.
The score is performed live by five musicians (drums, bass, piano/accordion, flutes, and
voice). To broaden the musical palette, we also incorporated orchestral textures,
recording various string ensembles and soloists (woodwinds, brass, plucked
strings). A digital system synchronizes these recorded elements with the live
performance, giving the music a mixed acoustic–electronic quality that embraces
new technologies. Just like the show itself, the music of LUDÕ is alive.
The musicians are encouraged to improvise during the preshow, adding
spontaneity and expressive freedom.
