Facing the Mirror (recorded by the juilliard percussion ensemble)
This tour de force for percussion quartet and tape, explores the human voice and it's relationship to percussion instruments. The tape consists of vocal sounds from 4 languages-English, Spanish, Hebrew, and Russian. All meaning of each of the languages is stripped away and reduced to sounds creating a new dialect in combination with the instruments. The performers are placed in the 4 corners of the hall with their almost identical set-up of instruments, a head mic for uttering phonetic sounds, and an output speaker, creating a surround sound of continuousmovement around the hall.
