description:
Album title Acousma Light refers to Acousmatic music in which a
sound source isn't visible during the concert or listening
session.
In 1955 a pioneer of musique concrète, French composer Pierre
Schaeffer coined a term acousmatique, derived from the Greek
word akousmatikoi (the hearers). The latter was used by
Pythagoras to describe uninitiated disciples. According
historical sources, the aspirants had to follow a vow of silence
for five years while listening to the teachings of the master
behind a screen (a curtain), without seeing him.
In a composition Acousma Light sound components are being
grained into sonic particles - as elemental as possible. The
sound of the piece may be described in such characteristics as
timbre, spectrum of sound, varying and changing speed of
motion.
In the first stage of composition, in which a recording of live
performance takes place, a principle of sound deconstruction is
being employed. Recorded material is then being organized into a
structure that gradually evolves into a crystallized form.
Nine episodes are presented in the Album.
Cover image represents balancing stones from inner ear. They are
attached to sensory hair. When the head tilts, the movement of
stones causes nerve impulses that originate into a sense
of balance.
