happy solstice

unified plant theory

from the wagner research laboratory:

"the wave theory approach provides a good explanation for the production of forces in plant tissue. These forces appear to, at least partially, overcome gravity and other resistance to the flow of sap and can be changed, as necessary, to accommodate the needs of the plant. So far the forces found seem to be related to moving standing waves. "

downloads

last month i sent a few of you links to some new material by 7corners, music which had been recorded over the summer and just recently arranged and mixed.

in light of the positive responses i've gotten from all of you, i've decided to start a subscribed email list- as tracks become available, i'll post them to 7corners.info or chanceformation.com and send out links to anybody who may be interested.

of course, email addresses and info will not be shared; besides downloads i will also send information regarding performances, happenings, recordings and events which may be of interest to you.

if you'd like to recieve emails, please drop me a line at

subscribe [at] chanceformation.com

my next email will go out on winter solstice, a burst of light on the shortest day.

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.

greg de denus- keys
simeon alev- reeds
peter lutek- reeds
tom richards- bone
scott peterson- software

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. "
