“Ravel’s Brain” is a 50-minute musical/visual tome poem at once tragic and celebrative in its mood. Expressionistic and abstract, it portrays the inner being of an artist who was rendered incapable of communication with the outside world. Maurice Ravel(1875-1937) is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest composers, and his music continues to enjoy great popularity around the work. For the last five years of his life, however, he was victim of his own tragic circumstances. Afflicted by aphasia and apraxia, his brain produced music, but he was unable to write it down. “Ravel’s Brain” includes interview material with a handful of Ravel’s intimates shows Ravel’s in Monfort L’Amaury and his birthplace Cibourne where he first noticed the symptoms of his illness, was so inspired by the Arabic street music that he was graced with a few moments of lucid music making. Finally the brain operation that ultimately killed Ravel is recreated and set to song.
