[Traduction française non disponible]
The composer explores the myriad transformations possible when samling materials of his own earlier [mostly vocal] compositions, with results to be almost autobiographical.
Primeval, organic, watery sounds, perceived as through a mist, floating, with remembrances of unclear events…faint voices trying to penetrate a thick veil of sound. arghanum [Gk. Organon]: Arabic name for a Byzantine organ, according to the writer Ibn Khurdadkbih [9th century] the word 'arghanum' was interpreted as meaning "1000 voices".
Realized at the composer's own studio [Studio SHELAN]. Some digital processing was done with a Synclavier II Digital Synthesizer at the EMS, McGill University.
