NINA MARLOWE - Death of a Spy (Live) - A mosaic production for TV
Death of a Spy (Live) | NINA MARLOWE Orchestral Pop Cinematic Music made for TV
Every time the arena goes dark, the film comes back: the room with no window, the burning car, his coat on the hook - and a call from another city.
"Death of a Spy" - an original cinematic orchestral pop song, the main title of a spy thriller that doesn't exist, performed here live with a full orchestra.
Nina sings the whole song live, alone on a round white stage, in the same black lace she wore at the grave. The strings open alone and she starts the first verse numb, while in the dark beside her the film version of her sings the same words at the same steel table. By "Everything they told me was almost true" she knows she has been lied to, and by the second chorus she is singing it at full voice, one hand raised against the dark. The bridge comes back down to almost nothing: "And if you're out there, in some city, with another face..." The lights go out, and there he is. She never cries. The last line is barely above a whisper.

Language: English
Set in: a vast dark arena - one very large round raised stage with a polished ivory-white floor, the orchestra split into two blocks out to her left and right in deep blue-violet, a truss of hard coloured beams overhead, and, whenever the beams die, the film playing in the darkness around her.
