The electronic guitar becomes the female voice in this arrangement, the first of two conversationalists. The second, adopts, or is assigned the role of the male voice in my reading of this piece, and is played by Miles Davis on trumpet. I use a narrative to explore one interpretation of Violet. She enters the club for the single purpose of meeting a man. She has a record scratch effect on the room as she enters, carrying with her the knockout combination of confidence and attractiveness.
All heads stop and turn.
We are aware of the drums slowly picking up as she enters the establishment. These drums maintain a fairly slow and sultry tempo throughout the duration of the piece, lending to the idea that the narrative takes place in one location. Whether it is audible or aesthetic we are not sure, but it is evident that she is on the prowl. Wasting no time, he stealthily swaggers her way and proceeds with obligatory small talk. He is aggressively pursuing the situation, whereas, she is still testing the waters, keeping him slightly at bay.
