A song cycle for voice, medium-sized mixed chamber orchestra and electronics which explores déjà vu, the boundary between dreams and nightmares, and death.
Each movement represents an overlapping moment of death, connected through different types of motifs whose transformations and deformations suggest different subjective passages of time. Key harmonic organizing elements are based from a hexachord transposed and manipulated depending on subjective color association.
These recordings are the result of a month-long rehearsal and recording process and represent a studio-driven approach to capturing the essence of the pieces
