As One Door Opens...
Throughout history as an opportunity appears for the workers by hand
or brain to take control, a door is slammed in their collective and
individual face. This short tape piece, realised in Csound, may be
seen as related to that remark; or there again it may be more closely
related to Edvard Munch's painting `The Scream', or perhaps Kafka's
Metamorphosis....or related to nothing at all. You should be warned
that it is a four minute sound, with no paricular tune and no definite
beat, created from a field recording at ICMC'2000 mainly with time
stretching, signifying nothing in particular other than itself. But
remember, some people in this country can run a mile in four minutes.
Release on The Door CD (AltaSounds #1) and first performed in Berlin 2002
