Krzysztof Penderecki - Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima
At first I wanted to make a video with pictures of bombs and dead people timed to coincide with the horrors of this piece of music. Then I wanted to use pictures of flowers and smiling people, but as if they were the horrors. Would that be disrespectful to the victims of Hiroshima? It could reinforce the sheer awfulness of the music and the events it threnodes.
In the end it looks as though writing about making a video has usurped making a video.
