JACOB TV (a.k.a. Jacob ter Veldhuis): SUITES OF LUX (2004), Box 3 in the JacobTV series: 2CD | 3091 752
The disc includes Monica Germino performing the title track SUITES OF LUX, a large-scale work for electric violin & soundtrack (30 minutes)
SUITES OF LUX was originally commissioned by Scapino Ballet Rotterdam, for choreographer Nanine Linning’s large-scale work bearing the same name. Monica Germino performed from memory, moving amongst ten dancers "...Jacob ter Veldhuis composed a solo for Monica Germino, who drew long, plaintive tones and piercing outbursts from her powerfully amplified electric violin, alongside a soundtrack of indefinable sounds... The violinist is the central figure on stage. She breathes life into the the dancers with her notes and summons the memories in them to wake. She leads, inspires, manipulates." -The Telegraph
