Soft Smooth |
The cello and paddes sounds create an iridescent cloud of sound.
The padded sounds are comparable to underwater, wettish, birdlike
sounds. The cello traverses emotions from reservedness to ecstatic
passion. What can be smoother than the beautiful restrained playing
of the cello. Full of delicate emotion. Dreamy, space, float,
dream , float, wonderment . . . |

prelude to the fire |
inspired by Bach, by the fires running crazily wild in California
and the cinematic possibilities of apocalypse. harpsichord, strings,
choir, boomer and slicks and clunks raise fists together in a
relentless forward flow |

Relentless Abundance |
we nearly drown in our driftwood, refuse and ruins. / In wreckage,
rubbish and rubble / But as long as there is stardust, this party
keeps going and keeps flowing. / It's a true jungle out there,
a complicated festive cosmic mess / orgies of organic molecularity
(symphonic forward drive, threedimensional percussion, flying
cello, marching piano) |

big |
the big sounds, the big chords, the big moments. simply big. |

finale |
childlike theme thrown into persistent build to consume multiple
layers of orchestral, elemental and primal sounds - fitting for
a brilliant finale..? |
