  • My personal association stems from Wayne Wang's movie "Smoke" where he uses a sample (in the opening sequence I believe) of one of the Preludes and Fuga's of Shostakovich (played by Sviatoslav Richter if I remember correctly). Intriguing project, making a portret of New York City in classical sounds..! As most of these sounds originate from, and stand for, circumstances, periods and places many migrants who made NYC fled from, and, today, many New Yorkers, I guess, would detest to live in too. In other words: in my view "classical music" and "NYC" are at least semantically or symbolically each others opposite. Or are they? Why do NYC people love classical music anyway ;-)?
