Programme
Lawrence Casserley - PanHarmonic
As the audience enter the computer creates a music of
harmonics and space around them. Human performers enter and gradually
take control of the music. An introduction to the harmonic world of
the giant panpipes.
Lawrence Casserley - The Monk's Prayer
A monk kneels at a prayer desk playing a long prayer on a
bass flute. Gradually it spreads like ripples over water.
Desorgher/Casserley - PanDemonic
The rich spectrum of the giant panpipes is processed by
computer to create an exciting and varied palette of sounds. The
performers can draw on these at will, sometimes capturing and playing
each others' sounds, sometimes playing together in harmony, sometimes
in violent opposition.
