TITLE: The elements of risk in creation:  a subatomists view
CAT# (YEAR COMPOSED): #59 (2001)
INSTRUMENTATION: an electronic composition with optional voice
DURATION (APPROX): 6’05
NOTE: In response to the suggestion for promoting a creationists’ view of the world, this response decided to emphasize the animate parts of physical realities inhabiting this planet.

Technically, the work uses a variety of sound processing and resynthesis methods to alter the sounds of creation, including: brain wave signals; heartbeats; the cooing, mutterings, and biphonic cries of infants and patients;  the cooing, mutterings and biphonic cries of our non-human relatives – silence, as well becomes important, as does the resonance presence of different environments.  The dynamic range is wide (hi-to-low amplitudes) and the processing serves as a metaphor that suggests the interconnectivity of our species and, ultimately, mutual dependence.

In Tibetan Buddhism, suffering and the struggle in life is well-recognized – so too in this excerpt, is the attempt to retain maintenance heard.

PREMIERE PERFORMANCE: electronic playback: “Ursprung” (experimental music theater) in the Kleiner Wasserspeicher, Berlin Prenzlauerberg during the Festival ‘Reservoir V’, 2001
Electronic playback with voice: Mike Edgerton at Orgelpark in Amsterdam on 2016_05_11
