Normandeau @PlantSyntaxDiffusion ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Fox and The Rose. A concert suite composed from two sound sources... the music of a radio adaption of the Little Prince by Antione De Saint Exupery and the actors voices who did the radio adaption. A long spiel follows in the program and the piece seems to have concern with onomatopoeia and babble. French in origin. Cds seem to be available and I suggest Synaesthesia as Mark was babbling on about this after. His favourite piece of the night. Well for me this piece was a little bloated, but I need to say that for want of any other term, Im into minimalism in general.. so sonorously diffuse music is often confusing to me. This was a very beautiful piece... sound washed over us like waves on the shore, chugging splashes of sound, a little more aggressive than other pieces on the night and the piece again was marked by the precisopn and timbre of computer generated music. Im not the greatest fan of this 'sound' and enjoy it best when its mixed with less anally retentive arrangement devices... like tape loops and the sound of babies crying for example. I found it as I said, sonically diffuse and the sections that were more focussed and simpler were more captivating to me.... got me thinking about the elemental attraction of simple ideas deeply investigated and reminded me of why I never enjoyed a lot of Stockhausens music when I was in my 20's and why the likes of Tony Conrad takes years off my life. So there seemd a hotch potch quality to sections of the piece, though they were for me rescued by several humourous dislocations injected at unpredicatble points. By this time I had figured there was a language here that I wasn't privy to and maybe I shouldnt be doing this. But I chose to ignore that. ______________________________________________ Contributed to the Undesirable Propagation Unit by agent AlanBamford
