Lewis Banks & Marianna Abrahamyan, The Third Death - Jay Capperauld

Lewis Banks - Saxophone Marianna Abrahamyan - Piano Inspired by David Eagleman’s short story cycle ‘Sum: Forty tales from the afterlives’, this work entitled Afterlife, comprises of several pieces for Alto Saxophone and Piano, and is conceptualised around a number of speculative stories that Eagleman created that postulate a diverse range of scenarios in which humans might find themselves in the afterlife. Therefore, Afterlife attempts to capture the qualities of a selection of Eagleman’s short stories in a musical context, while pondering their intended meanings and existential (or post - existential) implications The Third Death is based on the chapter entitled “Metamorphosis”, which tells of an afterlife in which we find ourselves in an eternal waiting area prior to our release into whatever might come next. This holding area is full of those people awaiting their name to be spoken for the last time on Earth, which is the mechanism that grants a person’s passage to the next part of the afterlife. Therefore, this vast space is filled with individuals from history whose names are still being spoken on Earth and whose delay in this infinite lobby is uncertain. Thusly, this movement attempts to capture and convey the sense of inert expectancy that might be experienced in this timeless wait for our names to be given their final utterances on Earth. Moreover, a recurrent phrase is reiterated throughout this movement which is representative of the relative musical pitches contained within my own name jAy CAppErAulD. This acts as a metaphorical name being uttered on Earth and remains ambiguous as to whether it has been uttered for the final time in order to release the individual to the next stage of the afterlife
