| | cactus geometries & offrande
this disc reunites two works that prompt the listener to cast an aural gaze at the interior of sound itself. in the first, we are presented with a gamut of imaginary landscapes, symmetries and spaces inspired by the unexpected geometry of cacti. the second work brings us to the extraordinary sound of the steel pans, intricately intertwined within a shimmering path of fugitive trajectories and metallic resonances

cactus geometries
fixed sounds [2002] 19:22
| in this work i chose a few of my favourite cacti as musical metaphors for five possible sonic topologies. during the composition of the work, their capricious and voluptuous geometry served me as a model to invent virtual spaces, fluxes, impacts, variable symmetries, landscapes, whirlwinds and sonic trajectories, whilst specifics regarding their properties provided the context for more anecdotal images. |

for soprano & cello steel pans and fixed sounds [2000] 18:46
steel pans : florent jodelet et simon limbrick
in memoriam delfina fuentes, naturally.
| this sonic offering falls into four movements that approach the luminous sound of these astonishing caribbean instruments. here, steel pans and electrocoustic sounds soar through cause and effect events, evolving into several bouts of multi-grained textures. the mutual transformations of internal resonances seek to project the instrumental sound beyond the limits of its physical boundaries. |
