About the music:
As background music for a live production of David Adjmi’s Marie Antoinette, these pieces aim to convey the character, mood, and development of the play’s characters. Each piece was played live as background music during the production. The recordings are sampled instruments and synthesizers. Aligned with Adjmi’s modern take of Antoinette’s story, the music takes traditionally older instruments and fuses them with digital renderings.
Scores for each work are available upon request.
