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
