Work Overview
Passer-by is a work for chamber orchestra and tape
co-composed by Connor D'Netto and Matthew Lomax, delving into our
varying interactions with urban spaces and strangers. It
addresses our relationships with the everyday spaces of urban
life, how they can adapt, tracing over the same ground and yet
influenced by new experiences that pass in between.
The work was originally conceived as part of "non-place", a
four-movement electroacoustic score by Connor D'Netto and Matthew
Lomax for a ballet in collaboration with the London Central
School of Ballet, Bim Malcomson and Leanne King. Inspired by the
writings of anthropologist Marc Augé, non-place explores and
examines experiences of familiar spaces, identity, disconnection
and anonymity in modern society. Rich, intense, familiar yet
surreal, non-place holds an otherworldly looking glass to the
commonplace spaces of everyday life.
