MANIFOLD is the
fourth in a series of long-form ambient works. Each of these exists in
different versions, often initially with a conception for installation
presentation using multiple compact disc players and chance operations.
These works are permitted to evolve continuously and constantly and become
soundscapes for specific events, places, aesthetically arranged environments
or combine with intermedia elements such as light or video. While the
installation versions of these works are perhaps most compelling artistically,
due in large part to their unfixed nature and pliability, they are interesting
also as fixed recordings on compact disc. MANIFOLD features three
compact discs of collected sounds playing asynchronously. Each disc has
unique sound elements on it, together with silences of various durations.
This recording presents the sound environment of the work as one long
continuous composition of nearly 80 minutes. MANIFOLD is similar
in philosophical orientation and technical realization to the works Siren,
Music for a Summer Evening
and Sapphire. However,
this work is very different in both material and overall musical impact,
forming a fourth element in an evolving set of long-form ambient works.
All four of these works are now available as the boxed set Musique
d’Ameublement: Volume One.
