environment2

environment 2 has arrived at chanceformation

i composed this piece in november 2006, responding to the harsh environmental shifts which happen in toronto this time of year. each day our outer environment shifts, and our inner environments must adjust and change along with it.

as we head to the solstice, the light declines each day. it's duality, singularity, and neither; a palindrome- today's amount of sunshine won't be reached again for another month. today itself won't be reached again ever, perhaps only dreamed.

environment two is the inner environment, reaching inside ourselves and inversioning our vision. when we look back from the future, what will we see, and why? what did we never know we needed? what do we wish we had changed, known, experienced, done?

performed by cwvortex, and presented with gratitude.

from the prose element of the piece:

"the vital aspect of this piece is that what we play and hear is much, much different that the audience (via recording) will perceive and hear. therefore, we must be extremely disciplined as we collectively perceive the completed piece. "
