Soundscape and Electoacoustic Works by Barry Truax
Big Flutes
Canadian Music for Alto and Bass Flute
The CD is based on the celebrated Song of Solomon text from the Old Testament whose lyrical and sensual imagery is portrayed in a cycle of four movements subtitled Morning, Afternoon, Evening, and Night & Daybreak.
Barry Truax’s Digital Soundscapes is a collection of five pieces that integrate computer and electroacoustic music.
Islands metaphorically refers to islands of place, event, and community. Many places drift in and out of consciousness over the sixty-three minutes of the CD.
The disc is framed by two works (East Wind and Pacific) that refer to the environment and cultures of the Pacific region, but all of the pieces are influenced by a growing awareness of the interplay between Eastern and Western ideas, just as the world increasingly looks to the Pacific Rim as the new centre of economic activity.
Soundscape Studies is a field that was born in Vancouver through the World Soundscape Project under the direction of R. Murray Schafer in the early seventies.
Twin Souls is a collection of electroacoustic compositions by Barry Truax that incorporate texts which deal with various gender issues.
