Flashdance (2018) for piano, keyboard synth, 2 percussion by Erin Rogers published on 2019-12-21T23:59:54Z Flashdance for Piano, Synthesizer, 2 Percussionists by Erin Rogers Performers: yarn/wire (Laura Barger, pno; Ning Yu, pno; Ian Antonio, perc; Russel Greenberg, perc) Jan 30, 2019 // The Stone, NYC Program Note: “The music starts and you feel it, your body just moves, there’s something inside of you that just clicks and you’re gone. It’s like you’re somebody else for a while.” —Alex Owens, Flashdance Iconic and cringeworthy, the 1983 flick Flashdance follows the path of a young dancer as she pursues her dream. Based in Steeltown aka Pittsburgh, its two major soundtrack hits “Flashdance” (famously sung by Irene Cara) and Michael Sembello’s “Maniac” popularized the use of early model analog synthesizers and the Linn LM-1 drum machine. Both are used here, heavily masked through material combinations while references to familiar soundtrack themes are hidden in plain sight. —Erin Rogers (2018) Photo: Shoe - Irvine Jane Doe.
