"A Love Supreme"
Screening & artist talk








The ensemble: Conceptualist/ initiator, Actor, Documentarist, Photographer and Sound-engineer is gathered to orchestrate "A love supreme". Through different layers of media the initiator reenacts an interpretation (from masturbation to prayer) of Coletranes jazz-album success "A Love Supreme" released in 1965.
Instead of a saxophone the icon "The 9-11 man" is used for the solo [1].

[1]"In the final part (of the record. red.), Coltrane performs what he calls a "musical narration" (also described as a "wordless 'recitation'") of a devotional poem he included in the liner notes. That is, Coltrane “plays” the words of the poem, but does not actually speak them. Some scholars have suggested that this performance is an homage to the sermons of African-American preachers.  The poem (and, in his own way, Coltrane’s solo) ends with the cry “Elation. Elegance. Exaltation. All from God. Thank you God. Amen.”
