Graeme Gerrard: Passing The Bright Mirror (1992)

Abstract

"Fundamental to our experience of ourselves and our environment is the interplay between cyclic or repetitious activity and aperiodicity (which is sonically manifested as noise). With these we ascribe value - the desire for order and predictability, the tedium and tyranny of repetition, the relentless increase in entropy, the confusion of chaos, the hunger for spontaneity and variety, the delight in the discovery of pattern, and so on. Passing Bright Mirror combines these two poles of experience, the title reflecting the ambiguity of just who, or what, is doing the passing - the uncertainty, and exchange, of subject and object." -- Graeme Gerrard
