Description
Charles Amirkhanian introduces an electronic, allegorical journey of a man towards self-realization, composed between January 1970 and December 1972 by the English composer, Trevor Wishart. This 80 minute musical narrative incorporates diverse natural ambient and electronic sounds, and was made at the University of York Electronic Music Studio, in England. Ever changing, always interesting, this is a masterful work of auditory montage, that will transport the attentive listener through an almost mythological landscape of bells, voices, and electronic sounds.
