Cimmerian Cerulean Orb was inspired by the image of our small planet as seen from the outer edges of the solar system, and the idea of its past (or potential future) existence without life. A variety of effects and extended techniques were used to represent some of the sounds of our elements – air, water, fire, earth, combined with certain electronic manipulations that signify the planet’s connection with the cosmos. A structure of sparsity with extended soft sections expresses the desolateness of the expanse, sometimes interupted with violent outbursts.

vivid

adjective
1. producing powerful feelings or strong, clear images in the mind
2. (of a colour) intensely deep or bright
3. archaic (of a person or animal) lively and vigorous

origin: mid 17th century, from Latin vividus, from vivere “to live”

Vivid is a response to the poetry of Will Christie, in particular her poem Vivid, an incredibly intense exploration and interrogation of language, sexual politics and identity. I was drawn to the percussive, almost violent sibilance that was “ready in the words”: it suggested to me an explicitly musical setting. The music attempts to create a conversation between text and sound while retaining the narrative, wordplay and multiplicity of meaning inherent in the written poem.
