Valse Nostalgique (from The World of Eugene Atget)

'Valse Nostalgique' piece is part of a cycle of works composed as the soundtrack to an imaginary documentary called The World of EugeIne Atget. If the film did exist, I'd like to think that this music would make a suitable accompaniment to the French photographer's haunting images. In 2005 I saw an exhibition of Atget's work at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and was captivated by his photos of Old Paris in the early 20th Century. He viewed his images as documents rather than 'art' but they are beautifully atmospheric and influenced the Surrealists. My recording of this piece can be found on the album Scenes Vol. 1 by Jeremy Cullen, available on Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes and Amazon.
