A voyage of deep-consciousness experimental ambience -- synthesized streams between shape, mood, and pattern-texture construction which create "Stories in Sound".
Bio / Background
Stimuli picks up where Brian Eno's Music For Airports, Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music, and Terry Riley's In C left off. Boston-area composers Lauri des Marais and Erik Lindgren dovetail their individual musical strengths and concoct a radically fresh approach that integrates structured composition, sound design, Musique concrète, and impressionistic exploratory narrative.
On this 79-minute disc are four sonically innovative and conceptually inventive Stories In Sound, a phrase coined by Lauri to describe her work. Works include: the five-movement "X-Opera" Rude Awakenings for trio, phone answering machine messages and synthesized stream (libretto by Simon & Schuster author Pagan Kennedy); The Far Field/Inputs, which blends found sound and prepared piano with radical teutonic underscoring; the mood-shifting 13 Transitions {excerpts] for voice, synthesizer and guitar with shades of Nico, plus des Marais' ethereal 22-minute audio essay Backdrops 3: In Accepted Translations, in 4 Parts.
