Score
Empire : for shoes, instrument duo and electronics / Cat Hope.
Library shelf no. 785/HOP 3 [Available for loan]
Work Overview
Empire is a work influence by the act of 'shoeing', throwing shoes as an insult. Inspired by the events surround a shoeing of George Bush in Iraq, and another of John Howard on prime time TV in Australia, the graphic score uses the outlines of images of these events to make up the melodic detail. In addition, the piece begins with a shoe throwing, that becomes an integral part of the peice.
