How do I tap into the deep-earth / oceanic ?
I suppose it is a combination of deep listening and my respecting goblets of sleep fragments, – resist the easy solution,
no fakery in the work. Patience, too.
I certainly got it in TRAUERFELDER and MUSIC FOR THE BOOK OF KELLS , the big percussion works of the early nineties. But also in the computer made SWEENEY’S VISION ( 1997 ) and, two years later, QUASI UNA MISSA.
The best of the symphonic stuff have it eg. the opening of my Second Symphony ( 1981 in Berlin I dreamed it ) with low basses and percussion and
trombones.
Also new work eg. this January’s 2. Piano Trio ( with its Viola chalumeau quite different from the first Piano Trio
of forty years ago. ). And new gestating work for Clarinet and String Orchestra.
We will hear . The Geyser’s Song…. let it flow. Control.
