The 23 Constellations of Joan Miro

I came across this interesting archive from a recent concert, from the WNYC New Sounds Live Concert Series, and may be a great introduction to the music of Bobby Previte.

From the New Sounds Live Concert Series, recorded in October at the World Financial Center's Winter Garden, hear the American premiere of Bobby Previte's set of musical miniatures - "The 23 Constellations of Joan Miro." It's an ambitious and colorful work by the composer/drummer Previte, where painting, poetry and music all come together, bringing to life a series of small canvases that Joan Miro painted during World War II. Listen to Joan Miro's texts, read by actor David Patrick Kelly, and Bobby Previte's musical responses the paintings.

I find beauty in odd pairings that end up working well together, and I certainly think that Ben Franzen allows the boy bike rider and accompanying music to fall into that category. Noteworthy video editing and music throughout (especially from 2:34 onward).
