Programmnotiz
Im Sommer 2015 verbrachte ich zwei Monate (Juli und August) in der NES Artist Residency in Skagaströnd, Island. Jetzt, sechs Jahre später, habe ich ein elektroakustisches Stück komponiert, das ein wenig von Island inspiriert ist. Die Komposition besteht aus bearbeiteten Perkussionsklängen und unbearbeiteten Klängen (nur wenige Sekunden) von der CD „Duo Svanni – RÆTUR“ von Hildur Wågsjö Heimisdóttir und Júlia Traustadóttir Kondrup und der CD „Sounds of Island“ von Hafdis Bjarnadóttir.

Program Note
In summer 2015 I spent two months (July and August) at the NES Artist Residency in Skagastrrönd, Iceland. Now, six years later, I created an electroacoustic composition, which is a little bit inspired by Iceland. The composition consists of edited percussion sounds and unedited sounds (just a few seconds) of the CD „Duo Svanni – RÆTUR“ by Hildur Heimisdottir and Julia Traustadottir and of the CD "Sounds of Iceland" by Hafdis Bjarnadottir.

I finished this work in January 2022

About the work:
The album was completed about mid-December 2023. Initially, I worked on the themes of parallel worlds, spiritual worlds, order, the extraordinary, and the unreality. I intended to create a sound narrative on these themes. And I was thinking of various album titles and track names. I wanted to give the album title and track titles like an epic story. It was going to be a rather complex album title and track titles.
However, on January 1, 2024, there was a major earthquake on the Noto Peninsula in Japan. Kanazawa, located on the Noto Peninsula, was the city where I had spent my elementary and high school years.
This earthquake made me think that everyday life is much more important than grand stories. Everyday life is fleeting. Everyday life is impermanent. All of the songs on this album were created as part of a story, but I thought they could also be interpreted as fragments of everyday life. The result is a very simple album title and song titles. This is fine.

Adumbration: to suggest, disclose, or outline partially; to foreshadow vaguely; overshadow, obscure.

Adumbrations goes through a series of statements towards a sensibility of ideals and shadows, utilizing female voices reciting a series of tongue twisters that iterate sibilant, fricative, and bilabial sounds. If spoken incorrectly, the sound qualities of these tongue twisters are heard as curse words. Therefore, there needs to be consistency in the process of speaking these tongue twisters explicitly. In the English language curse words can function as multiple parts of speech, and as the saying goes, people who curse more frequently are more honest. 

This piece explores the dichotomous relationship between certain ideals and shadows, i.e. consistencies and inconsistencies, actuality and potentiality, and the explicit and the honest, as it goes through a series of musical adumbrations that “halo” the process of these tongue twisters. Through these adumbrations, the contradictory can be either one or the other of the ideals or shadows turning on itself, and at times the appearance of the clarity and the inaccuracy are in an indefinite flux through these halos.  This occurs as inconsistent phonemes are turned from inaccurate iterations of the tongue twisters into something sounding consistent.  The halos are supplementing the voice within varying simultaneous parameters that include shimmering, radiating around the iterations and vice/versa, and existing as a spatial supplement revolving in different stereo planes around and as a process, and out of the immersive comes our personal perception of the contradiction.  One can think of this adumbrated halo, in this sense, as a place where the dichotomous relationship becomes indistinguishable, and laughter for a flawed system. 

This piece is partially inspired by Ingmar Bergman’s movie Persona.

Thank you so much for the wonderful voice recordings:
