Métadire
work in progress featuring alarm will sound
LINK TO PITCH DECK, with audio excerpts and detailed information
Métadire features Anaïs Maviel on voice, improvised solos from Alarm Will Sound players & an interactive sound installation by Daniel Neumann. Built in 7 movements following the shape of an inward spiral, the durational piece can be walked in & out of to taste, inviting the audience to a co-created, meditative experience.
The contemporary chamber orchestra is sometimes twisted into a jazz big band contrasting slow evolving soundscapes with high intensity morphing shapes. Stylistic layering, harmonic & rhythmic superimposition initiate the listener to multidimensionality.
Métadire comes from meta – the surroundings, and dire – to say.
It’s an invitation to engage with the vibratory field that precedes & follows existence. Métadire’s compositional voice is deeply intertwined with the collective unconscious and archetypal symbolism. Just as metaphysics observe what is not immediately obvious, this music holds space for the realm of becoming, for what is yet to be revealed, over cyclical time. It ushers the listener to a contemplative, self exploratory and expansive inquiry.

listen to the rain
8 movements string quintet featuring The Rhythm Method
Music is a time-based medium and I invite you to an unusual listening experience - over a year. Chinese energetics point us to observe nature, to access the essence of being. listen to the rain results from the study of natural cycles from atom to cosmos, breath to eons, and how they inform our experience of the connection between earth & heaven. Giving you time to listen in a holistic way will illustrate my point. listen to the rain’s 8 movements will be released seasonally. Drops will drop every 45 days, as follows:

That is the timeline for the initiation, based on what Taoists call the earthly order of the 8 forces -- after which, listen to the rain will be available as a whole, in the heavenly order.
