Talking to Vasudeva - Nathan Davis

There are certain physical spaces from my memory that reappear in dreams: spaces which, in waking, hold specific associations of time and place but in sleep become a stage for new growth and exploration. Like a mnemonic "memory palace", each space has its consistent elements and a structure through which I move freely. This process of exploring and re-exploring familiar places is more consciously echoed in my work with acoustic materials and electronics. I use microphones and simple computer processing to magnify the subtle complexities of sounds and to reveal the inherent characters of ordinary objects and instruments. My works on this disc stem from the conscious and subconscious aspects of this process, and they share with Kaija Saariaho's piece an architectural intent to create a spatial environment for the listener's imagination. - Nathan Davis

“These are old and new ways of composing that involve improvisation music as well as a skillful reworking of ethnic sounds, and inspiring, in the end, new further timbre researches. Dense working-outs in field recordings, overtones and tunes that fit together with textures’ architectures in an evocative and sensitive narration. Eight short tracks made by Kaija Saariaho, and dedicated to the mystical Kyoto gardens, are part of the tracks selection made out of percussion and electronic instruments.”
