More Info New works from this great atmospheric electro-acoustic composer! This CD contains three pieces: MALINA (2000, 15 min.), based on the novel from Ingeborg Bachmann and using a “Shakuhachi”, ERINYES (2001, 20 min.), in which he tries to “bring out the primitive nature of the voice”, and CLAIR DE TERRE (1999, 36 min.). Again, very suspenseful, border-crossing compositions... "A photograph of the Earth taken from space probably best epitomizes the second half of the twentieth century. It situates our planet in space in a way that makes it clear that the Earth is not at the center of the universe. Our place in space leads to a state of unbalance that is reflected in the way we see the world. This new perception in turn influences our artistic expression. Electroacoustic music was born just slightly more than fifty years ago, at about the same time that first photograph of the earth was taken. This has brought about a considerable change in how we (artists) make and how we (the audience) hear. This work is divided into twelve movements that systematically explore elements of the grammar of cinematography that have been transposed into the language of electroacoustics. Preceded by an Overture, each of these twelve movements are composed of a soundscape, an object’s sound, the sound of a musical instrument, and vocal onomatopoeias. All of these sound elements are drawn from the sound bank that I have built up over the last ten years." [from the liner notes, about CLAIR DE TERRE]
