At the foundational layer you have the original bungalow, buried underneath, then there are other planes or surfaces jutting out at sharp angles in a complicated balance with each other. “I was drawn to how all the different surfaces and materials interact in this layered way. Instead of starting at bar one and writing a piece all the way to the end, I could explore a whole web of sounds, and gradually the form and structure would come into focus, not in a beginning to end process, but one that emerged from that web.”Īt Frank’s actual house, the chain link, corrugated metal and plywood exterior wraps around the original bungalow, which figures into Norman’s composition. “And I started to think about how I could model sounds in a less linear way. “The gestural pencil sketch to begin with, then a piece of crumpled paper, then wood, and then plastic, and with each model he would hone in on a design that was becoming more specific. “His creative process was all about modeling and sketching in very rough materials,” Norman explained. Norman had an emotional crisis in college, when he was “really having a rough time trying to create music, in part because of this idea that I just couldn’t hold on to it, I couldn’t touch it.”īut he was struck by an epiphany while viewing the Frank Gehry retrospective at New York’s iconic Guggenheim Museum in 2001. Butheveered from architecture to studying music. “I wanted to be an architect before I wanted to be a composer,” he said in an interview.

#FRANKY'S THEME ONE PIECE VIOLIN SHEET MUSIC SERIES#
The music they make and the materials themselves will be onstage, played by two pianists and two percussionists this Thursday night as Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra’s Westside Connections series presents the premiere of “Frank’s House” at the Moss Theatre on the campus of New Roads School.įollowing the performance, homeowner and star architect Frank Gehry and Los Angeles Times architecture writer Christopher Hawthorne will discuss the relationship between music and architecture, the theme for all three of the Westside Connections 7th season performances. The materials mirror the exterior of the Gehry home. “I spent a lot of time in my backyard playing on chain link trying to figure out what music could come out of that.” “I needed to know what kinds of music I could elicit from the materials,” he said, discussing his new composition, “Frank’s House,” inspired by Frank Gehry’s once-notorious private residence on 22nd Street. Instead, picture Andrew Norman at Home Depot buying pieces of chain link fence, corrugated metal and plywood, then banging and scraping on them at home.
