Retrouvailles - Georges Aperghis (performed by MikeDrop Duo)

Performance by MikeDrop Duo (Mike Compitello and Mike Truesdell) Video by Four/Ten Media Sound by Greg Heimbecker Georges Aperghis is one of the truly unique and creative compositional voices of our time. A work by Aperghis is not only sound, but a strong visual drama as well. In the case of Retrouvailles, nonsense syllables and non-sequitur words and syllables paint a subconscious picture amidst a nonsensical narrative. Two old friends meet, speaking a language deeply familiar to them but opaque to the viewer. They embrace, reminisce, and share a drink. We were enraptured by this piece and wanted to collaborate with the creativity of Four/Ten media to realize a fresh and inspired performance.
