on the prospect of approaching the last odd number

this is part one of a longer work by operarotas, a subdivision of the arbeitsgemeinschaft für zeitgemässen blickfang. the images of the animation are (re)processed architectural photos and stills. the material features an abandonned office building. on the prospect... combines classical singing with jazz winds and rock patterns. the work is based on themes played by a double string quartet. this foundation has been used for several other versions, ranging from the present which has a somewhat extrovert classical character to a more introvert poppy one and a quiet ambient version.
