the snake

TW is a repurposing of words and sounds that have haunted me. I rip out their consonants, and disembowel their vowels to be spread across the piece. The meter shifts from 4/4 to 3/4 to 5/4 to 8/4, and then back in the reverse, while the syllabic content of each word (1, 2, 2, 3, 5 syllables) subdivides the pulse.

“From macrocosm to man as microcosm. In the centre of any spiral is the calm core through which man passes to eternity."
My piece, The Milky Way explores one word: the beginning of our passions, the go go juice of the universe, our first home. This word is broken up, reversed, shattered, and made whole throughout.
