from
Symbiotica (a cross-cultural
mixup)
(symphonic segments from Luciano Berio, Pierre Boulez, John Cage, Elliott Carter, Charles Ives, Olivier Messiaen, Anton Webern, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Edgar Varese)
The music consists of a single recorded track containing a
variety of symphonic episodes by many of the leading musical voices of the
20th-21st century. The original track, containing a random distribution of
orchestral samples, was separated into short segments, naturally bounded by
silences. The segments were numbered, then recombined independently of one
another, with little or no separation of silence between them. The music
represents a synthesis of 20th century musical thought and expression.
To the first track, I then added a second track containing
original electronic sounds.
