Azimuth presents “Tierkreis, a music fashion film” is an intermedia proposal based on Stockhausen’s “Tierkreis” about zodiac signs. The original music is based on 12 different melodies, each one based on the different zodiac signs and poem. The piece is a free form instrumental piece, giving the performer the free will needed to approach it and create a different and personal version of the piece.
Director Nerea Vera took this piece as a reference to create a whole fantasy world around it.
