Habanera
"Habanera" from the opera "Carmen"

Screenshot from "Carmen", an archetypal verismo opera - the kind of music that sprung from the realist movement that originated in the 19th century - THE century for big inventions so naturally i'm a big fan.
Realism denotes a movement that focused on the realities of everyday life where artists took inspiration from their surroundings, granted, largely to do with society, but the concept as a whole is something I'd like to make a link with in my approach to the everyday object/roles we give to objects. Getting to the crux of the everyday, and showing it for what it is and what it can be.
So a somewhat unorthodox opera is on it's way...think iron...
