The Vibrations Beneath Us

When I work, my first step (after reading the play of course) is usually finding music that stimulates my creativity. For this play, I immediately knew that avant gard music would help me find the instability of the world this play depicts. Jerry is a punch, a stomp, a bang; Jerry is a fierce and unpredicateable drum beat that hypnotises its listeners; He scares them and draws them in all at once. This piece is a great musical representation of Jerry's impact on the world, and specifically on Peter's world. He comes in quietly enough- a little odd but apparently harmless. Then, he breaks the mold of a pleasant Sunday in the park and shatters Peter's life as he has always known it. Pay special notice to the siren sounds, the sharp pops that sound like gunshots, and all the other rhythms that paint an image, not only of Jerry and his actions on Peter, but of a city- dare I say, New York City. Let this music spark your artfull perspective on this world we aim to create. It is an odd world, but it is all based in raw truth- much like the truth that Jerry sought and died for.
