1. Open Music I have called ‘Open Music ’a type of composition that behaves like an anti-seismic structure in architecture. It's a flexible structure that adapts to each individual's personality. But it remains solid and rigid enough to prevent the building from collapsing and losing its original form. I thought about working in this way right from the start of my collaboration with the filmmakers on The Death of Dracula, even though I first came across the images in the film and it was on this basis that I produced the first elements of the composition. Then the preparation of the final score was a long series of meetings. Initially these meetings took place on the basis of the interest shown in the approach by the participants. Around these musical themes and these filmed images, we came together to share the music in most of my many workshops. A two-year process made up of trials, abandoned leads, and certainties about the validity of the common approach. First musical workshop in Cluj Napoca, Romania. Photo by Róbert Lakatos 102
