Age of Anxiety

  • Balazs Toth
The making of this video was inspired by the piece of Leonard Bernstein: Symphony No2, The Age of Anxiety (after W. H. Auden), and the economic crisis. I had not planned a meaningful work, at least not in the sense of a piece whose meaning relied on details of programmatic implication. I had merely shot, and edited a video piece inspired by Bernstein’s Symphony, where I intended to match and reflect with the story line of the visuals to the atmosphere what Bernstein created. My other purpose with this piece was to study and practice sound structures. This led me to other pieces that I am happy to show and talk through.
