Philipp Krebs: Paramount

for Ensemble and Elektronik

(2021/2022)

»If it’s a Paramount movie, it’s the best show in town«.

The fall of a formerly iconic film studio of the »Golden Age of Hollywood«, whose brand by definition suggests a glamorous aura of quality, greatness and excellence, is the figurative inspiration for my composition of the same name. Inspired by the topoi of the classical »film score«, in PARAMOUNT I interlock musical fragments on the pseudo-historical foil of a »piano concerto« to form an unbalanced ensemble machinery in which each musician alternately steps back and forth behind the big picture as a metaphorical »cog in the wheel«.
